Changes: Remote: Remote: - New Java Viewer Applet V.2 incorporating new features: o Requires Sun J2RE 1.4.0 or higher. o Automatic and manual Video Scaling. o 16bit color (trial for now as it requires refreshing browser infrequently, no support for this feature at this time). o 16bit mode requires increased client system resources, performance is also improved when client system is in 24bit mode or higher. o New Interface Structure, more compact, space saving and has detachable/floatable toolbar. o Auto Alignment. o Color Calibration, offset and gain adjustments. o Fixed Java Version Detection, Fix Page Reload Goes to Wrong Channel. o Ability to autodetect which viewermode is supported. o Various bug fixes to recently implemented code (Jview timeout and operator disconnect. o Timeouts do not pop up an ALERT on the JView any more. o Bug Fix: A workaround to the problem when a JView client closes the SSL session but the underlying TCP socket still seems to be alive, prevents the SLK form not responding. o Misc. Debug flag (0x00000004) causes JView to never time out as long as the client is talking to it. o JView2 had SSL-related components missing in 2.3c they are now included. o Some fixes to the Java version autodetect. - Includes new .NET browser control applet (trial) o This applet always has 100sec initial connection delay and has been track down as a MS bug. o The workaround is to use a port other than 80 for the web server on the SLK. o Internet Explorer security settings have to be altered to trust the SLK to permit the download of the applet. - Recommended: Configure the SLK as a trusted site on IE, and set the .NET permissions to allow 'Full Control' on trusted sites. - Turtle Mode Timeout is set default to 1 hour. - Some menu items on the OSD do not remove the menu after performing their action. - Forcefully terminating a telnet session should no longer reboot the SLK. - VNC bandwidth goal bug patched. - Latest Applet resolves server bootup failure due to automated mouse sync Interface: - Relocated 'KM Emulator' link from debug to 'Flash File System' page. - Reloacted 'Save/Load Configuration links from debug to 'Flash File System' page. - Removed discontinues video.html link from debug menu (options rebooted SLK16). - Corrected link to Restart PPP Servers on PPP.html page. - 'Change my Password' link added to allow users to change their own passwords. - Bug fix to the user permissions so that ordinary users should not be able to edit, e.g. the security settings. Video: - New FPGA 2.1 with improved video detection. - Changed some video mode lines to better describe some 1280x1024 modes. Also added some 640x480-s. KM: - Now ommit mouse packets with movement bytes equal to 0xAA to avoid being reset due to poorly written drivers. - Permit keyboard and mouse clockline lower than 10KHz to accomodate APC and Epicenter KVM Trays on the local console. - Fixed nonfunctional Print Screen key (bug introduced eversince made Sun compatible) on local console. - Added support for 'do not send break codes' feature of the PS/2 keyboard scanset-2. - Mouse Acceleration added under the channel information page, once properly defined SLK will be able to adapt to the default mouse settings of the OS. - Fixed the code for the right single quote character for U. - Included PIC Firmware Version 1.37 resolving specifically DELL server related bootup problems. Misc: - SecureLinx SLP Remote Power Manager support added. - Secondary administrator accounts added. - Corrected retrieving logged in user's name and remote IP for SNMP. - Corrected Video Calibration bug (Production environment). - Changed the permission control on setting variables. Now it is NOT based on page names, etc. Less of a security risk.
