USING YOUR RIPC

Prerequisites

The RIPC features an embedded operating system and applications that offer a variety of standard user interfaces. The information following will describe their use in detail. All of the interfaces are accessed using the

TCP/IP protocol, and can be used over either the built-in Ethernet adapter or the modem.

The following interfaces are supported:

HTTP/HTTPS: The most complete access is provided by an embedded web server and the RIPC’s environment can be controlled by a standard web browser. Depending on the web browser, you can access the RIPC’s card using the unsecured HTTP protocol or, if the browser supports it, the encrypted HTTPS protocol. We recommend use of HTTPS whenever possible.

Telnet: A standard telnet client can be used to access an arbitrary device connected to one of the RIPC’s serial ports via a terminal mode.

In order to use the Remote Access window of your managed host system, the browser must include a Java Runtime Environment, version 1.1 or higher. However, even if the used browser has no Java support, such as is the case on small handheld devices, you can still maintain your remote host system using the administration forms displayed by the browser itself.

We recommend the following browsers for an unsecured connection to the RIPC:

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or higher on Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP

Netscape® Navigator® 7.0 or Mozilla 1.0 on Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, Linux® and other UNIX®-like operating systems

In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection, you need a browser that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only assured if you are using key length of 128 bits. Many older browsers do not have a strong 128-bit encryption algorithm due to former export regulations of US authorities. Internet Explorer 5.0, which is included in Windows Me and 2000, supports a key length of only 56 bits. You can read about the key length of Internet Explorer under the menu points “?” and “Info”. The dialog box displays a hyperlink that leads you to information on upgrading your browser to a state-of-the-art encryption scheme.
