Chapter 3: Operation
Overview
Once the Dominion SX unit has been deployed in its final destination, you can access the console of the
target device. This chapter explains the normal operational procedures.
Accessing the Remote Device
The remote device can be accessed in one of two ways, either browser-based or by direct port access, used
either as a user based remote device access method or used for application programs to access the target
device programmatically.
Note : For the purpose of illustration, all discussion in this manual is based on using Internet Explorer as
the browser.
Browser-Based Access
1. Using a browser such as IE, Netscape, Mozilla, or other supported browsers, on your client desktop,
enter the IP address of the unit. A security alert window will appear.
Figure 11 Security Alert Display
The unit is always SSL enabled. When you try to connect to the Dominion SX unit, a Security Alert is
displayed ; this is because the CA root certificate is not installed in the browser. Please see
Appendix
C: Certificates for additional information.
