The current security zone appears in the lower right corner of the DSView Explorer window.
To ensure that the DSView software works correctly in security zones:
Specify settings for the Local Intranet and Internet security zones. When a DSView software
client accesses a hub server using a host name (for example, https://avocent), the Local Intranet
security zone will be used. When a client accesses a hub server using a web address with
periods (for example, https://www.avocent.com), the Internet security zone will be used.
-or-
Add the DSView software hub server to the Trusted Sites list. The DSView software client will
always connect to the hub server using the Trusted Sites security zone. The Trusted Sites zone
contains very low security settings and ensures successful communication between the client
and the hub server.
