theProtected applications (MQTT) is showing"Not valid yet".
IPP/IPM shows "The authentication has failed", "The notifications reception encountered error".
Possible cause
The IPP/IPM certificate is not yet valid for the Network Module.
Certificates of IPP/IPM and the Network Module are not matching so that authentication and encryption of connections
between the Network Module and the shutdown agents is not working.
Setup
IPP/IPM is started.
Network module is connected to the UPS and to the network.
Action #1
Check if the IPP/IPM certificate validity for the Network Module.
