8/16/32 PS/2 KVM over IP switch

Check whether the network connection is working in general (ping the IP address of PS/2 IP-KVM switch). If not, check network hardware. Is PS/2 IP-KVM switch powered on? Check whether the IP address of PS/2 IP-KVM switch and all other IP related settings are correct! Also verify that all the IP infrastructure of your LAN, like routers etc., is correctly configured. Without a ping functioning, PS/2 IP-KVM switch can’t work either.

14. In the browser the PS/2 IP-KVM switch pages are inconsistent or chaotic.

Make sure your browser cache settings are feasible. Especially make sure the cache settings are not set to something like ”never check for newer pages”. Otherwise PS/2 IP-KVM switch pages may be loaded from your browser cache and not from the card.

15. Using MacOS X a HTTPS connection fails

You have to install the PS/2 IP-KVM switch certificate using our certificate installer, available on the utility CD. Please refer to the instructions on this CD for further information how to install the certificate.

16. Can’t upload the signed certificate in MacOS X

If an ’internal error’ occurs while uploading the signed certificate either change the extension of the file to .txt or add a file helper using the Internet Explorer preferences for this type of file. Make sure that the encoding is plain text and the checkbox ’use for outgoing’ is checked. Another possibility is to use a Mozilla based browser.

17.Every time I open a dialog box with some buttons the mouse pointers are not synchronous anymore

Please check, if you have an option like ”‘Automatically move mouse pointer to the default button of dialog boxes”’ enabled in the mouse settings of the operating system. This option needs to be disabled.

18.Remote Console doesn’t open with Opera in Linux

Some versions of Opera don’t grant enough permission if the signature of the applet can’t be verified. You can add the lines grant code Base "nn.pp.rc.RemoteConsoleApplet" {permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessClassInPackage.sun.*";};to the java policy file of opera (e.g. /usr/share/opera/java/opera.policy) to solve the problem.
