Tripp Lite B050-000 manual

Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions

8.The B050-000 web pages are not displayed correctly.

Check your browser’s cache settings. Make sure the cache settings are not set to something like “never check for newer pages”. Otherwise the B050-000 pages may be loaded from your browser cache and not from the card.

9.Windows XP does not awake from standby mode.

This is possibly a Windows XP problem. Try not to move the mouse pointer while XP switches into standby mode.

10.For SUN computers a USB keyboard does not work.

The B050-000 emulates a USB keyboard. If you attach a USB keyboard to your host two keyboards are detected. It cannot be predicted which one of these comes ﬁrst and you will be able to work with. SUN supports only one USB keyboard.

11.Cannot 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 prefer- ences for this type of ﬁle. Make sure that the encoding is set to “plain text” and the checkbox “use for outgoing” is set. As an alternative, you may also use a Mozilla based browser (Mozilla, FireFox).

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

Disable the setting “Automatically move mouse pointer to the default button of dia- log boxes” in the mouse settings of your operating system.

13.The Remote Console does not open with Opera in Linux.

Some versions of Opera do not grant enough permissions if the signature of the ap- plet cannot be veriﬁed. To solve the problem, add the lines

grant codeBase "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).

14.The Remote Console remains black.

Check the B050-000 for being USB powered only. If there is not enough power via USB the remote Console opens but remain black. Attach an external power supply to the B050-000. Verify the B050-000 settings using the according section in the front end.

15.I forgot my password. How can I reset the B050-000 to factory defaults?

You may use the serial interface. For a detailed description see the Section called Resetting the B050-000 to its Factory Settings in Chapter 4.
