essential details about a site that must match the information supplied to
your Web browser.
Why do I receive a warning when accessing the login screen?
As it redirects you to a secure (SSL) session by default, the login screen
may generate a warning from your Web browser or the VNC Java client
for two different reasons. First, the CA that has issued the certificate on
StarTech.com’s behalf may not yet be recognized as a trusted source by
the computer you are using to access the SVxx53DXI. Second, since the
unit could be configured in a number different ways, it is impossible to
supply a generic certificate that will match your exact network settings.
Is my data safe?
Yes. The security certificate does not affect encryption effectiveness in
any way, nor does it make the SVxx53DXI any more vulnerable to outside
attacks.
Can I prevent the warning from occurring?
Yes. You have two options that may prevent the warning from occurring.
First, if the Web browser you are using offers the option to ignore the
warning for future visits, the browser will no longer generate a warning
if that option is selected. Second, if you install the certificate from the
SVxx53DXI onto the host computer (see below) and if the unit is config-
ured with a domain name ending in .com, .net, .org, .gov, .edu, .us, .ca,
.uk, .jp, or .tw (i.e. remotecontrol.mydomain.net) then the warning should
no longer occur.
Installing the new certificate
The following instructions detail how to install the certificate from the
SVxx53DXI onto your local computer (in this case, when using Internet
