Trusted Certificates When you try to log in to the device from your browser, a Security Alert message appears to inform you that the device’s certificate is not trusted, and asks if you want to proceed. The certificate can be trusted, but the alert is triggered because the certificate’s name is not found on Microsoft’s list of Trusted Authorities. You have two options: 1. You can ignore the warning and click Yes to go on; or 2. You can install the certificate and have it be recognized as trusted.
Installing the Certificate To install the certificate, do the following: 1. In the Security Alert dialog box, click View Certificate. The Certificate Information dialog box appears: NOTE: There is a red and white X logo over the certificate to indicate that it is not trusted. 2. Click Install Certificate. 3. Follow the Installation Wizard to complete the installation. Unless you have a specific reason to choose otherwise, accept the default options. 4. When the Wizard presents a caution screen: Click Yes.
Certificate Trusted The certificate is now trusted: When you click View Certificate, you can see that the red and white X logo is no longer present – further indication that the certificate is trusted: Instruction Manual 162
Mismatch Considerations If the site name or IP address used for generating the certificate no longer matches the current address of the SV1108IPEXT/POW a mismatch warning occurs: You can click Yes to go on, or you can disable mismatch checking. To disable mismatch checking, do the following: 1. After the page you are logging in to comes up open the browser’s Tools menu; Select Internet Options Advanced. 2. Scroll to the bottom of the list and uncheck Warn about trusted certificates: 3. Click OK.
Self-Signed Private Certificates If you wish to create your own self-signed encryption key and certificate, a free utility – openssl.exe – is available for download over the web at www.openssl.org. To create your private key and certificate do the following: 1. Go to the directory where you downloaded and extracted openssl.exe to. 2. Run openssl.exe with the following parameters: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509 -keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf NOTE: 1.
Troubleshooting General Operation Problem I can’t access the SV1108IPEXT/POW, even though I have specified the IP address and port number correctly. Resolution The SV1108IPEXT/POW needs to be reset. If the SV1108IPEXT/POW is behind a router, the router’s Port Forwarding (also referred to as Virtual Server) feature must be configured.
Problem Resolution When the remote server is running Fedora the mouse pointer on the remote server does not move, whether I am accessing it from the local console or a local client computer. If the remote server is connected with a PS/2 cable, log into the SV1108IPEXT/ POW with a browser; open a viewer; on the control panel set Mouse DynaSync to Manual. When I log in, the browser generates a CA Root certificate is not trusted, or a Certificate Error response.
Problem Resolution Under Virtual Media, I can mount an ISO file, but I cannot access it. Virtual Media under the WindowsClient only supports ISO files less than 4G.Bytes. If the ISO file is 4GBytes or greater it cannot be accessed. My antivirus program reports that there is a trojan after I access the SV1108IPEXT/POW with my browser and then open the Windows Client Viewer. The Windows Client Viewer uses an ActiveX plugin (windows.ocx) that some antivirus programs mistakenly see as a virus or trojan.
Problem Resolution National language characters don’t appear. Use the SV1108IPEXT/POW’s On-Screen Keyboard and be sure that the local and remote computers are set to the same language. When I log in, the browser generates a CA Root certificate is not trusted, or a Certificate Error response. The certificate’s name is not found on Microsoft’s list of Trusted Authorities. The certificate can be trusted. There is no Virtual Media icon on my Control Panel.
Problem Resolution The display resolution should be set to 1024 x 768: Under Text Mode: 1. Go to OK mode and issue the following commands: setenv outputdevice screen:r1024x768x60 reset-all Under XWindow: Video display problems with 13W3 interface systems (e.g., Sun Ultra servers).* 1. Open a console and issue the following command: m64config -res 1024x768x60 2. Log out 3. Log in The default configuration is for the local and remote mouse pointers to automatically sync when you connect.
Mac Systems Problem Resolution The local and remote mouse pointers do not sync. There are two USB I/O settings for the Mac: Mac 1, and Mac 2 (see Customization, page 66). In general, Mac 1 works with older operating system versions, whereas Mac 2 works with the newer ones. In some cases, however, the reverse is true. If you experience pointer sync problems, try selecting the other mode. Force close Safari, then reopen it. Don’t use the Snapshot feature in the future.
Additional Mouse Synchronization Procedures If the mouse synchronization procedures mentioned in the manual fail to resolve mouse pointer problems for particular computers, try the following: Windows: NOTE: In order for the local and remote mice to synchronize, you must use the generic mouse driver supplied with the MS operating system. If you have a third party driver installed - such as one supplied by the mouse manufacturer - you must remove it. 1.
3. Windows ME: Set the mouse speed to the middle position; disable mouse acceleration (click Advanced to get the dialog box for this). 4. Windows NT / Windows 98 / Windows 95: Set the mouse speed to the slowest position. Sun / Linux Open a terminal session and issue the following command: Sun: xset m 1 Linux: xset m 0 or xset m 1 (If one doesn’t help, try the other.

Administrator Login Failure If you are unable to perform an Administrator login (because the Username and Password information has become corrupted, or you have forgotten it, for example), there is a procedure you can use to clear the login information. To clear the login information do the following: 1. Power off the SV1108IPEXT/POW, disconnect the power cord from its inlet, and remove its housing. 2. Use a jumper cap to short the jumper on the mainboard labeled J6. 3. Power on the switch. 4.
