Notification and alerts sent via SNMP, modem, e-mail, or numeric pager

Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) support

Ability to remotely power on or off the S8500 Media Server

Remote firmware upgrades

Web based access using the Advanced System Management Interface

Web browser requirements

You can use the following Web browsers to remotely access the RSA:

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 (or later) with Service Pack 1

Netscape Navigator version 4.72 or later. Netscape Navigator version 6.x is not supported

NOTE:

When using the ASM Web Interface, monitor resolution should be set to 800 x 600 pixels and 256 colors, and double-byte character set (DBCS) languages are not supported.
