redirected without their knowledge. Certificates are issued by trusted third
parties called Certificate Authorities (CAs) and contain 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 SVxx54DX4I. 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 SVxx54DX4I 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
SVxx54DX4I onto the host computer (see below) and if the unit is
configured 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.

SVxx54DX4I onto your local computer (in this case, when using Internet
Explorer with Windows XP):
