certificate chain provided by the authentication server. To set to null, send leave this field blank.
Enter the certificate root key on the Configure Authentication Certificate page in the Serial Device

<value> is the value of the key.
 Certificate Root Key Exponent This value must match the authentication server certificate value.

NW CERTEXP <value>, where <value> is the hexadecimal value of the key (default is 10001).

common name). If both of the common names are set to null, all certificates are accepted. The

Device Server internal web pages or use the console command SET NW CERTCN <name1> or
SET NW CERTCN2 <name2> to enter the two certificate common names, where <name1> and
<name2> are the desired names.
