[. . . ] This should contain the number of a rule for which the following commands will apply. Specifies the IP address or IP address range for which the rule applies. Examples (the number concatenated to an IP address with a `/' is the number of valid bits that will be used of the given IP address): 192. 168. 1. 22 or 192. 168. 1. 22/32 matches the IP address 192. 168. 1. 22 192. 168. 1. 0/24 matches all IP packets with source addresses from 192. 168. 1. 0 to 192. 168. 1. 255 0. 0. 0. 0/0 matches any IP packet Rule Number IP/Mask Firewall Settings Menu 24 SECURITY Certificate Management The RIPC uses the SSL protocol for any encrypted network traffic between itself and a connected client. During connection establishment, the RIPC has to expose its identity to a client using a cryptographic certificate. SSL Certificate Request Parameter Common name Organizational unit Organization Locality/City State/Province Country Challenge Password Description This is the network name of the RIPC once it is installed in the user's network. This field is used for specifying to which department within an organization the RIPC belongs. Some certification authorities require a challenge password to authorize later changes on the certificate (e. g. The e-mail address of a security contact person that is responsible for the RIPC. Larger keys may result in slower response time of the RIPC during connection establishment. Confirm Challenge Password E-mail Key length 25 SECURITY Certificate Request Required Information However, it is possible to generate and install a new certificate that is unique for a particular card. In order to do that, the RIPC is able to generate a new cryptographic key and the associated Certificate Signing Request that needs to be certified by a certification authority (CA). A certification authority verifies that you are who you claim you are and signs and issues a SSL certificate to you. The following steps are necessary to create and install the RIPC's SSL certificate: 1. Create a SSL Certificate Signing Request using the panel shown in the Figure below (Security Settings SSL Settings Create your own SSL certificate). Once this is done, click "Create CSR" which will initiate the Certificate Signing Request generation. The CSR can be downloaded to your administration machine with the "Download CSR" button (see Figure below). You will get the new certificate from the CA after a traditional authentication process. Upload the certificate to the RIPC using the Upload panel as shown in the Figure below. 26 SECURITY SSL Certificate Signing Request Note: If you destroy the CSR on the RIPC, there is no way to get it back!Settings & Configuration Network Network Settings Parameters Parameter IP address Subnet mask Gateway IP address 1. This option may be left empty, however, the RIPC won't be able to perform name resolution. It will be used in case the Primary DNS Server can't be contacted. If this option is enabled, access over the Power Management Unit is possible. For this reason, to ensure the best level of security, we recommend you disable this parameter. 2. DNS Server IP Enable Power Management Unit (Note: Changing the network settings of the RIPC might result in lost connections. [. . . ] The RIPC supports Windows NT, 2000, and XP. Can I use my RIPC with operating systems that are not based on Microsoft Windows?Yes, you can use your RIPC with other platforms, however, only the keyboard and video are supported. Does the RIPC put any strain on the servers?No, the RIPC is a 100% hardware solution that does not require any additional software installed on servers. 40 TROUBLESHOOTING The remote mouse doesn't work or is not synchronous. Try to correct the brightness and contrast settings until they are out of a range where the picture looks grainy. [. . . ]
