Instruction Manual

Remember to use either admin or a username created in the system as the user name you give your SSH client.

If you see a warning about identity of host cannot be verified, and a question about saving the host's fingerprint, this is normal for the first time you connect to any machine running SSH. You should answer yes so that your SSH client saves the public key of this host and doesn't re-issue this warning.

Certificate warning shown when connecting via HTTPS.

It is normal for a warning dialog to be shown when connecting via HTTPS. The SSL certificate SV1115IPEXT uses is created when the unit is first produced. It does not contain the correct hostname (subject name) because you can change the hostname as required. Also, it is not signed by a recognized certificate authority (CA) but is signed by our own signing authority.

Don't set LAN and WAN to the same IP Address.

This type of installation will not work. If you want to use both ports in redundant mode, enable the Ethernet bridging option and plug both into the same network. The WAN IP address is not used in that configuration.

Mouse performance is erratic when using the GNOME or KDE desktop in a Linux X-Window environment.

The mouse controls in GNOME and KDE environments offer both an acceleration and sensitivity setting. The following directions correct this issue, and apply to Red Hat Fedora Core 2, but should be similar for other distributions that use GNOME or KDE:

1.Click the Launch menu icon.

2.Choose Preferences > Mouse.

3.Click the Motion tab.

4.Set the Acceleration bar to the setting immediately left of center.

5.Set the Sensitivity bar to the leftmost settings (lowest possible)
