To ensure that the Rack Power Manager software works correctly in security zones:
Specify settings for the Local Intranet and Internet security zones. When a Rack Power Manager
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.
