Select Cancel to cancel the operation; select OK to perform theoperation regardless.The system displays a status message on the monitoring station and journal,such as “Copying certificate to host is successful/failed.”Update Controller CertificatesSelect Update Controller Certificates to launch the Controller Certificatedialog box. This dialog allows the user to update one, many, or all iSTAR eXcontrollers, including downloading the controller certificates to thecontrollers. SeeTable 3-40 on page 3-113 for definitions of the fields andbuttons on this dialog.Table 3-40: Update Controller CertificatesField/ButtonSelectionDownloadDescriptionThe Selection side of the dialog lists all iSTAR eX controllers that are“Database online”, communicating with the host, and have aDatabase Certificate Record. When the user selects one of thecontrollers in the Selection dialog, the Add => button becomesenabled.The Download side of the dialog lists controllers that the user hasselected to have the certificate updated. This dialog is static,meaning, this dialog will never show which controllers are currentlyupdating their certificates. In other words, if the user selects manycontrollers, selects “start certificate download”, closes this dialog,and then reopens this dialog, the download list will not show thecertificates that are being updated. The user can determine whichnodes are updating their certificates based on the journal messages.C•CURE 800/8000 Monitoring Station User Guide 3–113
