After you click Apply in the My Certificate Create screen, you see a screen that tells you the
P-660HWP-Dx is generating the self-signed certificate or certification request.
After the P-660HWP-Dx successfully enrolls a certificate or generates a certification request
or a self-signed certificate, you see a screen with a Return button that takes you back to the
My Certificates screen.
If you configured the My Certificate Create screen to have the P-660HWP-Dx enroll a
certificate and the certificate enrollment is not successful, you see a screen with a Return
button that takes you back to the My Certificate Create screen. Click Return and check your
information in the My Certificate Create screen. Make sure that the certification authority
information is correct and that your Internet connection is working properly if you want the P-
660HWP-Dx to enroll a certificate online.
