Click Security > Certificates > Trusted Remote Hosts to open the Trusted Remote Hosts
screen and then click Import to open the Trusted Remote Host Import screen.
You may have peers with certificates that you want to trust, but the certificates were not signed
by one of the certification authorities on the Trusted CAs screen. Follow the instructions in
this screen to save a peer’s certificates from a computer to the P-660HWP-Dx.
You do not need to add any certificate that is signed by one of the certification authorities on
the Trusted CAs screen since the P-660HWP-Dx automatically accepts any valid certificate
signed by a trusted certification authority as being trustworthy.
