command. To quit the menu, press on the keyboard when the menu is active.
These commands are not sent to the device you are managing and relate to the R-Port
module itself.
Operating Notes
• If the power supply to the R-Port modules you have connected becomes faulty
(short, overload) then the R-Port LED on the front panel of the IP KVM will show red.
Under normal operations, this light should remain green. The R-Port connector on
the rear panel also has an LED that mirrors the status of the light on the front panel.
• Hardware handshaking (CTS/RTS) is required for speeds exceeding 9600 bps. It is
enabled by default on the IP KVM, but may need to be enabled on the other end of
the connection. For Unix systems, the command is:
stty –crtscts < /dev/[serial port]
• A maximum of four users may simultaneously login to the same module. All users
may type commands at any time, and all users will see the same output. Note the
following:
• All users have equal access to all channels.
• A maximum of 16 R-Port modules may be connected at any one time.
• You plug-in and unplug any R-Port module at any time. When reconnected, it will
automatically become available after a 15 second initialization period. Any log
entries will be retained by the R-Port module while deactivated, but will not be
available to users until it is re-initialized.
About Security Certificate Warnings
What is a security certificate?
Sites that employ secure TCP/IP (Internet) connections include a certificate that
confirms that users are connecting to a legitimate site and are not being 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 I access the login screen on the IP KVM?
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 IP KVM. 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 IP KVM any more vulnerable to outside attacks.
