CRT key is being generated, the refresh interval and line speed may be lower.
Step 1
Click the [Execute] button of "CRT key generate".
→ The "CRT key generate" dialog box will be dis-
played.
Step 2
Select "1024 bit" or "2048 bit" for the length of the CRT
to generate for "CRT key generate" - "RSA key size".

from the CA about the RSA key size.
Step 3
Click the [Execute] button.
→ The generation of CRT key will be started.
When the generation is finished, the key size and
generation time & date of the generated key will be
displayed on "Current CRT key".
Note:
• Tochange(orupdate)thegeneratedCRTkey,per-
form Step 1 to 3. The CRT key, self-signed certifi-
cate and server certification are valid in a set. When
the CRT key is changed, it is necessary to re-gener-
ate the self-signed certificate or re-apply for the
server certificate.
• WhentheCRTkeyisupdated,thelogoftheprevi-
ous CRT key is saved. When the [History] button of
"Current CRT key" on the "CRT key generate" dia-
log box is clicked, the "Previous CRT key" dialog
box will be displayed, and it is possible to check the
key size and generation time & date of the previous
key.
When the [Apply] button is clicked on the "Previous
CRT key" dialog box, it is possible to replace the
current CRT key with the previous one.
