IMPORTANT: During login, if you see a warning message similar to the one shown here, then stop and do not proceed.

This message is displayed if an MC5-IP unit, that your viewer has previously visited, has had a change of security keys. This is not uncommon if a unit is reset for some reason. However, it could also mean that your trusted unit is being spoofed and you may not be connecting to the system that you think you are.

Do not click the Yes button until you have checked with your administrator that the trusted MC5-IP unit has been recently reset for some reason.
