What’s New in Release 3.1.8
Dynamic Screens and Performance Enhancements
Dynamic screens are screens that can refresh data without re-submitting. In the
Honeywell NetAXS™ panel, there is now a persistent connection between the web
screens and the panel. This allows status updates from the panel to be pushed out to
the screens automatically to display the data seamlessly on the screen.
In addition to the dynamic screens, other panel-side enhancements have been made
that improve screen performance. Now the web server detects when panels of a loop
come online faster. In the past, there was a 30- to 45-second delay during which a
panel could be online before the web would detect it. Data transfer between the panel
and web browsers has been optimized to reduce bandwidth requirements and improve
screen response times overall.
Multi-language Support
Multi-language support consists of “language files” installed with the firmware or
imported to a panel. A language selection is available on a per-user basis. The
language files are available by upload from the panel or from the Honeywell website.
You can customize the upload.
There are options to import, export, or delete the language files from a panel. During
upgrades, the language files with default names are replaced by those included with
the firmware, so we recommend that customizations be saved and imported with a
different filename than any present after upgrade. After toggling firmware sets, some
phrases may change or appear in English until the language file(s) matching the active
firmware version are imported, or the next upgrade is completed.

CSV Reports and Card Upgrade
CSV Reports and Card Upgrade
A requested feature was added to the NetAXS™ panel to support card holder updates and additions to
the database via a CSV (comma separated variable) file. In order to support this, a CSV report is first
created via a request from the web page. This report can be edited directly or loaded into a spreadsheet
to be edited. If loaded into a spreadsheet, the file can be saved in CSV format. The modified CSV file
can then be downloaded to the gateway and loop panels.
Also, an option is provided to either replace or append the card database. Replacing the database
deletes the existing card database, and appending the existing database adds new cards and updates to
existing cards, if needed. This file is downloaded first to the gateway panel, and then automatically to
each downstream panel. The file is sent to the downstream panel as a background process that allows
other web screens to continue to operate. Note that the panels will not need to reboot after the file is
downloaded.
Reverse IP
Reverse IP is implemented in the NetAXS™ panel to function with the WIN-PAK CS Reverse IP
communication setting. This allows the panel to exist behind a firewall while communication to
WIN-PAK CS is conducted on a pre-set port. This allows the NetAXS™ panel to be on a DHCP
network. Reverse IP connections are currently limited to one NetAXS™ panel per WIN-PAK CS port.
The NetAXS™ panel does not currently support encrypted reverse IP communication.

1.1 Overview
A NetAXS™ access control site is configured with a host system and NetAXS™
access control units that exceed existing N-1000-III/IV, Pro Series specifications and
approvals, and that communicate with each other and with a variety of input and
output devices. Each access control unit, or panel, has four reader ports. See the
NetAXS™ NX4L1 Installation Guide, NetAXS™ NX4S1 Installation Guide, or
NetAXS™ NX4S2 Installation Guide to view illustrations of the supported NetAXS™
system configurations.
You can communicate with the NetAXS™ access control unit either through a host
software system or by connecting to the NetAXS™ web server by an Ethernet
connection. This chapter describes how to connect to the NetAXS™ web server.
Chapter 2 describes how to use the NetAXS™ web interface after you are connected
to the NetAXS™ panel through the NetAXS™ web server. Chapter 3 describes how
to use the web server interface.

2.2.1 Host/Loop Communications Tab
In order to maintain your NetAXS™ system configuration or to monitor its status, you must connect to
the NetAXS™ panel by using one of two modes:
•
Host mode (monitor only) – a host software system, such as WIN-PAK™, connects to the panel
(through the NetAXS™ gateway panel, which has an on-board PCI communications adapter),
and it enables you to monitor the status of the NetAXS™ system. The on-board PCI adapter
functions as an interface between a host computer’s RS-232 port and one or more panels
connected on the Multidrop line.
•
Web mode (configure and monitor) – the NetAXS™ web server connects to the panel and
enables you to configure the panel and monitor system status.
This tab enables you to select and configure the communication mode you will use to connect to the
panel.
Note: A Gateway panel installed with release 3.1.8 or newer of NetAXS™ firmware cannot
communicate fully with previous versions of NetAXS™ that may be installed on existing panels. If
your panels are running release 2 (v2.2.21 or older), they must be upgraded to release 3.

2.3.2 Time Zones Tab
The NetAXS™ panel controls access by using time zones, or time schedules. Inputs, outputs, groups,
readers, access levels, and cards through access levels are all configured with time zones by which
they will be energized or de-energized, enabled or disabled. For example, you might assign a group of
outputs to be energized from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. every day. The 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., Sunday
through Saturday, time period is called a time zone. The Time Zones tab enables you to create the time
zones you will use to configure your NetAXS™ system.

Linking Time Zones
You assign each Time Zone a specific start time and end time. The maximum time range is from 12:00
a.m. to 11:59 p.m. Note that the time range cannot cross midnight. You can set this time range to be
effective for any day of the week, including weekends (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). These days can also include holidays, which are considered special
days that take precedence over a standard day. Also, since Access Levels, Outputs, Inputs, Groups can
only be given one Time Zone selection at a time, you can link Time Zones together to create bigger
time zones that could not fit into a single Time Zone.
For example, suppose you must create a Cleaning Crew Time Zone. The time zone(s) are to be set up
as follows: Monday-Friday 5 p.m.-1 a.m., Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m.-1 p.m., no holidays. This
becomes three separate time zones, as follows.
Time Zone #
Time Range

Monday-Friday, 5 p.m.-11:59 p.m.
(Remember, the time range cannot cross
midnight, so 11:59 p.m. is the limit.)

Configuring the System
Note: Time Zone 1 is reserved as a default with a time range of 24 hours, seven days a week.
So, we need to add three time zones to the panel. Then, with the Link Time Zone feature, you can link
them so that they all work together:
1. Add Time Zone 2 and select Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Enter a start
time of 5:00 p.m.and an end time of 11:59 p.m. Leave the Link to Time Zone field blank.
2. Add Time Zone 3 and select Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Enter a start
time of 12:00 a.m. and an end time of 1:00 a.m. In the Link to Time Zone field, select Time
Zone 2 to link Time Zones 2 and 3 together.
3. Add Time Zone 4 and select Saturday and Sunday. Enter a start time of 8:00 a.m. and an end
time of 1:00 p.m. In the Link to Time Zone field, select Time Zone 3 to link Time Zones 2, 3,
and 4 together.
Linked in this way, Time Zone 4 tells the NetAXS™ system that it is also to use Time Zone 3, and
Time Zone 3 tells the system that it is to also use Time Zone 2. Since Time Zone 4 is the “start” of this
linked chain, it is the Time Zone that would be operative for the Cleaning Crew Access Level. That is,
the doors to which the cleaning crew would have access would be assigned Time Zone 4. And, by
assigning them Time Zone 4, they would also have access during Time Zones 3 and 2—because they
are linked.
Note that in this example, Time Zone 2 is not linked to Time Zone 4. This is by rule. Time Zone links
should start on one end and stop at other. If you link the start of a Time Zone chain to the end, you
create a condition called a “circular interlock,” which would cause your time zones to not function
properly. The panel will send you a warning, should you try to create a circular interlock.

2.3.3 Holidays Tab
Holidays are days when no work is scheduled at the facility. These holidays are used in time zone
Click the Holidays tab:
Figure 2-10: Configuration > Time Management > Holidays Tab
The Holidays tab enables you to:
•
Create a holiday.
• Modify a holiday.
• Delete a holiday.
Note: Holidays should be considered special days of a week. They are similar, but of higher rank than
the standard Monday-Sunday. If a day programmed as a Holiday should occur in the panel, the panel
will treat that day as the Holiday type, regardless of the actual day of the week (Monday-Sunday).
During this Holiday, only Time Zones that contain that specific Holiday type will work. The Holiday
allows users to further customize how the panel works. For example, the user can block access to a
building on that day, or grant special access during that day.
Each Holiday added is considered a full day, extending from midnight to midnight. The options
available when configuring a holiday are Annual, Type, Date and Year. While Annual is enabled, the
date added as a Holiday will be a Holiday every year. This disables the Annual check box and allows a
user to select a specific year, so that only during that date and year will the Holiday selection work.

While Annual is selected, the Year box is grayed out. The NX4 can support three different Holiday
Types (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3), but a user can only select one type per day. Also of note, a single
calendar day cannot be set for more than one type of Holiday. For example, the 4th of July could be a
Type 1 Holiday, but then Type 2 and 3 would not be able to work on the 4th of July. Holidays or special
events that require multiple days will require a Holiday entry for each date that is to be special. For
example, Thanksgiving is usually two days, Thursday and Friday. Both of these days would require a
separate Holiday date entry and use the same Holiday Type. Beyond that, Type 1, 2, and 3 can be
configured any way you wish.
Steps to create a holiday:
1. Enter the name of the new holiday in the Name field (up to 25 characters).
2. If the holiday will occur annually, select the Annual checkbox.
3. Assign a type to the holiday, either Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3. The type you assign will map to
a time zone configuration, and the holiday will be regarded according to the rules of that time
4. Select the holiday’s month and date from the drop down lists.

Lockdown – Ignores all card reads (except from a VIP card),
denies door entry but allows egress.
Card and Pin – Grants access only with both a successful card
read and a valid PIN entry at the door’s keypad. You can
perform the card read and PIN entry in either sequence.
Card or Pin – Grants access with either a successful card read or
a valid PIN number entry at the door’s keypad.
Pin Only – Grants access with only a valid PIN number entered
at the door’s keypad.
Card Only – Grants access with only a successful card read.
Supervisor – Enables a supervisor to enter without allowing
access to others. When the supervisor presents his card during
the time zone just once, he gains access but does not enable
access for non-supervisory personnel. If the supervisor presents
his card twice, he enables access for all non-supervisory
personnel as well. After the supervisor presents his card twice to
allow general access, he can disable the general access for the
time zone by presenting his card again twice consecutively.
Escort – Requires a supervisor escort for a non-supervisor
cardholder. The supervisor must present his card first, then the
non-supervisor must present his card within ten seconds of the
supervisor’s card read.

2.4.2 Outputs Tab
An output, or output relay, is a switch on the panel that either energizes or de-energizes or pulses an
output device, such as a door lock or an LED. For example, a successful card read at a reader (input
device) causes the output relay switch on the panel board to change the normal state of a door lock
(output device), so that the normally locked door strike releases and permits entry. This tab configures
the lock and reader LED output relays, either as individual (discrete) outputs or groups of outputs.
Click the Outputs tab. The Lock > Discrete tab window appears, enabling you to configure an
individual lock output. Select the output number in the dropdown list at the top of the screen. Note that
lock and reader LED outputs are associated with each of the four doors on a NetAXS™ panel.

time to match the pulse time of the door lock, for example, to enable
a guard to know that the door is still open, or to support handicap
access.
Time Zones
Specifies two schedules:
• Energized – sets the period during which the output switches
are automatically energized.
• Disable Interlock – sets the period during which the interlock, or

Requires, like the First Card Rule, a valid card read within the time
zone to enable the time zone (period in which doors are unlocked) to
take effect. Unlike the First Card Rule, however, the user can swipe
the card a second time to return the doors to a locked state. Note that
both TZ Card Toggle and First Card Rule cannot be enabled at the

2.5 Configuring Access Levels
Every card is assigned an access level. The access level specifies the time zone, or time schedule,
during which the card holder can be granted access at a specific door. For example, an access level
embedded in an employee’s card might allow the employee to enter the facility only through door 2
from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
This section explains how to create the access levels that subsequently can be assigned to cards.
Note: Since an access level is defined by door and time zone configurations, you must configure the

Configuring the System
Steps to create an access level:
1. Select the door(s). The access level will allow access only at the door(s) you select here.
2. Enter the name of the access level in the Name field. This should be a unique name that
identifies the general user group.
3. Select the time zone you want from the drop down list in the Time Zone field. The access level
will allow access to the card holder only during this time zone.
4. Click the Add Level button.
Steps to assign a Time Zone to a door:
1. Select the checkbox next to the door you desire. The Time Zone field appears.
2. From the Time Zone dropdown list, select the Time Zone you want to assign to the door. Note
that a Time Zone must be configured in Configuration > Time Management before it appears in
the dropdown list.
Steps to modify an access level:
1. From the drop down list in the Level field, select the number of the access level you want to
modify.
2. Make the desired modifications.
3. Click the Modify button.
Steps to delete an access level:
1. Select the number of the access level you want to delete from the drop down list in the Level
field.
2. Click the Delete button.
3. Click OK at the prompt to delete the access level.
Note that when you create an access level for a panel in a loop configuration, you must manually
configure this access level at each panel in the loop. For example, suppose you have three panels in a
loop, and you add a Master Access level to panel 1 and you configure readers 1-4 on panel 1 with this
access level. When you save the access level configuration at panel 1, the access level is automatically
copied to panels 2 and 3. However, the readers at panels 2 and 3 are not yet configured. So you still
must go to panels 2 and 3 to assign the access level to the readers at these panels. To do this, navigate
back to the Select Panel on the NetAXS™ main screen, select the next panel in the loop, and configure
that panel’s doors according to the instructions in this section.

• NX4IN – Provides 32 inputs and no outputs.
• NX4OUT – Provides two inputs and 16 outputs.
A NetAXS™ panel supports a maximum of six daisy-chained downstream boards—two NX4IN boards
and four NX4OUT. An NX4IN module has 32 supervised, four-state inputs that are limited to 2.2K
ohms resistance. The NX4OUT has two supervised inputs and 16 SPDT relay outputs; each input is
limited to 2.2K ohms resistance. Each board is configured with a unique address in the Configuration >
On panels with internal power supply, the Power Fail input generates an alarm when primary power is
lost as indicated by the power supply. The Panel Tamper input generates an alarm when the NetAXS™
cabinet has been forced open. The Downstream inputs are available for general use.
Note: You can also configure the Power Fail and the Panel Tamper inputs for general use, if you choose
not to wire them for power and tamper detection.

In this chapter...
3.1 Overview
This chapter explains the NetAXS™ configuration functions as accessed via the
Quick Start Wizard (QSW) in WIN-PAK 2005, WIN-PAK PRO 2005, WIN-PAK SE,
and WIN-PAK PE. The QSW creates the ADV options and adds the panel to the
Control Map and the Master Access Level.
These functions should be performed only by the NetAXS™ system administrator or
service personnel.
Notes:
•
WIN-PAK 2.0, release 4, uses the same steps provided in this chapter to
configure NetAXS™; however, its screens are not exactly the same.
• NetAXS™ cannot be added to WIN-PAK PRO Release 4 or older.
•
For a new Site installation, or for adding to an existing Site, follow the
procedures in this chapter as you would when you add an N-1000-IV-X panel.
One exception to this is that the NetAXS™ panel does not support the use of
the C-100-A1 (20ma current loop installations). Therefore, when you select
the Loop type, 485 ACK<-NAK is the only supported type. Direct is reserved
for NS2P; C-100 is not supported.
•
If the NetAXS™ panel is configured as a Gateway panel, it appears to
WIN-PAK as an N-485-PCI or N-485-HUB. Using the NetAXS™ panel as a
Gateway, you should not add N-1000/PW-2000 panels as a downstream panel
to the NetAXS™ gateway. The NetAXS™ gateway is designed for more
efficient downstream communications than what can be supported by the
N-1000/PW2000 panels.

Configuring via WIN-PAK
Adding a New NetAXS™ Panel
The NetAXS™ Gateway panel’s baud rate is set configured via the NetAXS™ web server (see
the NetAXS™ Access Control Unit Installation Guide for instructions). When you set the Loop
Type in the QSW to 485 ACK-NAK, you define the baud rate to be 19.2 kilobits per second.
This baud rate and the panel’s baud rate must match to communicate properly. For WIN-PAK
SE or WIN-PAK PE systems, you can adjust the baud rate of the N-485 device to 115 kilobits
per second for optimum performance.
3.2 Adding a New NetAXS™ Panel
To add a NetAXS™ panel, first create the panel in the WIN-PAK Quick Start Wizard, and then
complete the configuration manually with the WIN-PAK Panel Configuration screen.
3.2.1 Creating the Panel with Quick Start Wizard
Add a new panel by selecting its Loop and configuring the following from the Quick Start Wizard

normally locked state to an unlocked state and the cardholder opens the door.
A NetAXS™ panel supports one output for each of its four doors. The panel also supports four
additional outputs for auxiliary devices and 64 downstream outputs. Outputs can be configured singly
as discrete outputs (see “Outputs Tab“ on page 38 and “Outputs Tab“ on page 55) or collectively as a

Upgrading NetAXS™ Firmware
A
A.1 Overview
This appendix provides instructions for upgrading NetAXS™ firmware to release
3.1.8.
This version is a new release; it replaces all builds of releases 1 and 2, and it includes
This release package includes three components:
•
•
•
1-NetAXSupdaterApp.bin—updater file.
2-NetAXSOSimage363.bin—operating system file.
3-NetAXSimage03.01.08.bin—applications file.
Note that the files are preceded with a number to indicate the order in which you
install them.
A.2 NetAXS™ Release 3.1.8 Upgrade Procedure
A.2.1 Planning the Upgrade
Because upgrading a loop takes some time, you will want to plan the upgrade to
minimize its impact on the access control of your building. You should allow for
approximately 20 minutes to upgrade one gateway panel, and 25 minutes for one
downstream panel (switched to gateway mode). Depending upon your configuration,
you may be able save time by starting multiple panel upgrades on your loop
simultaneously.
A.2.2 Mixed Revision Loops
In a loop configuration, upgrade the gateway panel first. If you are running version
2.1.11 or older on the downstream panels, you must upgrade your whole loop to
release 3. Even if you are running version 2.2.21, we recommend that you upgrade
your entire loop to release 3.
A gateway installed with release 3, however, can still communicate with downstream
panels while they are running release 2. If you leave your downstream panels installed
with an older version, all functionality will be available except access-level editing.

Upgrading NetAXS™ Firmware
NetAXS™ Release 3.1.8 Upgrade Procedure
Release 3 has a new access-level database; therefore, any release 3 access-level database changes will
not take effect until the entire loop is upgraded to release 3.
A.2.3 Uploading Data from the Panel
Note: Before you upgrade a web-based panel, we recommend that you back up your databases. The
upgrade scripts bring all your panel data forward into the new version without the need for user
intervention. Therefore, it is always recommended to have backup copies of your panel’s databases,
and an upgrade provides an opportunity to keep your backups current. Use following procedure to
backup each of your panel’s databases. The backup features are per panel, so you need to select the
panel to backup.
1. In the web server, select Configuration > System > File Management.
2. Click File Management to display the File Management tab.
3. Under “upload,” select each of the following upload options from the drop-down menu: Cards
and Common Configuration; Panel Configuration; Card, Common, and Panel Configuration.
4. Click Upload to upload the data to the host PC or laptop.
5. Follow the instructions to save a backup file on your PC. Give the backup file a useful name for
easy restoring.
A.2.4 Upgrades to Gateway vs. Multi-drop Panels
You can upgrade multi-drop panels in the same way you upgrade the gateway panels via the web
screen, but multi-drop panel downloads (via 485) are currently very slow (an average of about two
hours).
In order to reduce the time required to install this version on your “downstream” panel, you can
remove each panel from the loop and configure it as a gateway panel. To do this, refer to the NetAXS™
Access Control Unit User’s Guide, section 1-2, “Connecting to the NetAXS™ Web Server,” and
follow these steps:
1. Set DIP switch 6 to “ON.”
2. Connect directly to each panel via a Local Area Network or a direct-connect Ethernet
connection.
3. Return their configuration back to a downstream panel once the upgrade has been successfully
completed.
Note: You cannot have more than one gateway on a loop, so it is critical that you disconnect the 485
cables on the panel you are upgrading.
To perform the upgrade, follow these steps:
1. Before starting, make sure your panels are not buffered. If you have not logged in to the web
pages lately, or WIN-PAK has not been connected recently, you should login and make sure
you have current events coming in. This will ensure that the panels are not buffered, and you
will not have to wait for the un-buffer to complete before starting. If you try to login and get
“time-outs,” your panels are probably buffered and you should wait for them to complete their
un-buffer before starting the upgrade.

Note: For WIN-PAK systems, we recommend that you stop the “communications server
service” while upgrading, and then restart the service after your panels are upgraded.
2. Connect to your gateway panel using the instructions from the NetAXS™ Access Control Unit
User’s Guide, section 1-2, “Connecting to the NetAXS™ Web Server.”
Note: You cannot have more than one gateway on a loop, so it is critical that you disconnect the
485 cables now on the panel that you are upgrading.
3. Log in to your gateway.
4. Select Configuration > System > Host/Loop Communications and set the panel to web
mode, if it is not already set. In the Connection Type box, select none and click Submit
Changes. Wait one to one-and-a-half minutes. You can click Refresh on your browser after
one minute and navigate to the General tab to see if the buttons are present.
5. Note: If you are running NetAXS™ release 1 (v2.1.3 through v2.1.11), then complete this step.
If you are running release 2 (v2.2.19 through v2.2.21), skip to step 6.
After the screen is refreshed, and you are in the General tab, click Reset Panel, and then click OK to
continue. This step prepares the panel to accept the new application and operating system files that
you will be downloading. The reset usually takes between two and two-and-a-half minutes. After
two-and-a-half minutes (or after you hear the relays “click”), click Refresh on your browser and log
back in.
6. Install the upgrade patch file, 1-NetAXSupdaterApp.bin. To do this:
a. Select the Configuration > System > File Management tab.
b. In the Download box, click Browse to locate the file 1-NetAXSupdaterApp.bin.
c. Select the file and click Download. Click OK to continue. The message “Download
Complete” appears; click OK again. The message “Download image -- panel rebooting”
appears and instructs you to wait five minutes while NetAXS™ reboots. However, no
reboot is necessary here, so ignore the reboot message and click Refresh on your
browser. Note that if you are upgrading from release 1, some panels might reboot at this
point, but release 2 panels will not.
d. Wait about 20 seconds, and then click Refresh on the browser.
7. Install the new operating system file, 2-NetAXSOSimage363.bin. To do this:
a. Select the Configuration > System > File Management tab.
b. In the Download box, click Browse to locate the file, 2-NetAXSOSimage363.bin.
c. Select the file and click Download. Click OK to continue. After the “Download
complete” message appears, click OK again. The “Download image” message appears
and tells you to wait five minutes for a reboot. NetAXS™ does reboot this time.
d. Either wait for the relays to click or wait five minutes. Then, click Refresh on the
browser.
e. Log back in to the NetAXS™ web server. Note that it is normal to see a missing set A or
B, or a set with zeros now on the Configuration > System > File Management tab. Both
sets will appear correctly after the upgrade is complete.

b. In the Download box, click Browse to locate the file, 3-NetAXSimage03.01.08.bin.
c. Select the file and click Download. Click OK to continue. After the “Download
complete” message appears, click OK again. The “Download image” message appears
and tells you to wait five minutes while NetAXS™ reboots.

e. Wait either for the relays to click or five minutes, and log back in to the NetAXS™ web
server.
9. Check to be sure the new versions are installed. To do this:
a. Select the Configuration > System > File Management tab.
b. In the Version Information section, the new OS and application versions should appear.
The new OS version is OS2.6.10#363. The new Access Control application for you
selected set should display “v3.1.8.”
c. For WIN-PAK-based loops, we recommend that you run a full download to all panels
after the new version is installed.
A.2.5 Upgrade Notes
• If you notice any communication issues, and the upgrades are complete, you probably had
more than one panel configured as a gateway. In this case, you should reset the panels to clear
the issue.
•
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7—According to Microsoft, if you are running IE7
version 7.0.5730.11, you should upgrade to version 7.0.5730.13 or newer. NetAX™S is not
compatible with IE7 version 7.0.5730.11. You should either use a newer version, IE 6, or
another browser.
• If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, and you receive a certificate error message,
follow these steps to clear it:
a. Enter the IP Address of the panel into the URL box.
b. Click Continue to the website (not recommended) to display the login screen.
c. Click Certificate Error at the top-right of the IP Address. The “Untrusted Certificate”
screen appears.
d. Click the View Certificates bar. The “Certificate Information” screen appears.
e. Click Install Certificate. The “Certificate Import Wizard” screen appears.
f. Click Next and follow the prompts; leave all settings at their default values. A Security
Warning asks if you want to install the certificate.
g. Click Yes. A Certificate Import Wizard message states “The import was successful.”
h. Click OK. The Certification Information message appears again.
