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 dierent reasons.
First, the CA that has issued the certicate 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 congured in a number dierent ways, it is impossible
to supply a generic certicate that will match your exact network settings.
Is my data safe?
Yes. The security certicate does not aect encryption eectiveness 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 oers 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 certicate from the SVxx53DXI onto the host computer (see below) and if the unit is
congured 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.
