You do not need to install an external certificate, but
validating its existence, which is one of the SSL
functions, is not possible for the following reasons.
• Self-signing uses the private key generated in the
unit.
• A preconfigured value is set for the Distinguished
Name (Common Name, and so on).
• The certificate is not issued by a CA trusted by the
customer’s system.
For reasons of security, we recommend using this
certificate only when there is no problem and a lack
of total security is not a concern, such as for testing.
Precautions with SSL connections
When you use only SSL connections with the SSL
function set to [Enable], you will not be able to access
the unit if the SSL function is not working properly.
In this case, you must reset the unit to the factory
settings. (All settings will be initialized.)
Notes
• When [Use a self-signed certificate (For test use)] is
selected, a security alert appears when initiating an
SSL connection with a web browser.
• SSL connection may not be possible depending on the
type of certificate installed in the unit.

Displays whether the status of the certificate is valid or
invalid. The following status types are displayed.
[Valid]: The certificate is correctly stored and
configured.
[Invalid]: The certificate is not correctly stored and
configured. If invalid, possible causes are as
follows:
• [Use an external certificate] is selected but the
private key password included in the certificate is
not specified correctly.
• [Use an external certificate] is selected but the
private key included in the certificate is not
encrypted. Or the private key password is specified
but is not encrypted.
• [Use an external certificate] is selected but the
required private key is not included in the
certificate.
• [Use a self-signed certificate (For test use)] is
selected but a self-signed certificate has not been
