essential details about a site that must match the information supplied to your Web browser.

Why do I receive a warning when accessing the login screen?

As it redirects you to a secure (SSL) session by default, the login screen may generate a warning from your Web browser or the VNC Java client for two different reasons. First, the CA that has issued the certificate on StarTech.com’s behalf may not yet be recognized as a trusted source by the computer you are using to access the SVxx53DXI. Second, since the unit could be configured in a number different ways, it is impossible to supply a generic certificate that will match your exact network settings.

Is my data safe?

Yes. The security certificate does not affect encryption effectiveness in any way, nor does it make the SVxx53DXI any more vulnerable to outside attacks.

Can I prevent the warning from occurring?

Yes. You have two options that may prevent the warning from occurring. First, if the Web browser you are using offers the option to ignore the warning for future visits, the browser will no longer generate a warning if that option is selected. Second, if you install the certificate from the SVxx53DXI onto the host computer (see below) and if the unit is config- ured with a domain name ending in .com, .net, .org, .gov, .edu, .us, .ca,

.uk, .jp, or .tw (i.e. remotecontrol.mydomain.net) then the warning should no longer occur.
