Troubleshooting

Forgotten master password.

You can reset the master password using the serial interface on the unit. Use the S command, and type a new password. The old password is not required for this procedure.

Remote mouse and local mouse don't line up.

Use the Mouse resync command in the main menu or press the Resync button on the Bribar. If the mouse pointers still don't line up, verify that mouse acceleration has been disabled.

NOTE: The Windows login screen does not accept the “mouse acceleration” configuration, and always has the mouse accelerated regardless of your configuration. Therefore, on this screen it is best to avoid using the mouse.

After resync, the mouse pointers are still not aligned.

Use the video adjust menu to position your video image exactly where it should be. Normally a slight video positioning error is perceived as a mouse sync issue. A video positioning error is visible as a black line along the top or bottom (and right or left) edges of the remote screen. Remember to save your position changes!

Cannot login via SSH.

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 SVxx41HDIE 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.

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)
