• Restricted Sites - Web sites contained in the list of restricted sites.
• Local Intranet - Web sites accessed using a host name (for example, https://sun-e2-callisto).
• Internet - All other web sites, including those accessed using standard dot notation (for
example, https://10.0.0.1).
By default, the DSView 3 software operates correctly in the Internet, Local Intranet and Trust Sites
security zones when accessing a hub server.
NOTE: A DSView 3 software hub server installed on a PC running the Windows 2003 Server will not operate
correctly in the Internet security zone.
The current security zone appears in the lower right corner of the DSView 3 Explorer window.
To ensure that the DSView 3 software works correctly in security zones:
Specify settings for the Local Intranet and Internet security zones. When a DSView 3 software
client accesses a hub server using a host name (for example, https://avocent), the Local Intranet
security zone will be used. When a client accesses a hub server using a web address with periods
(for example, https://www.avocent.com), the Internet security zone will be used.

Add the DSView 3 software hub server to the Trusted Sites list. The DSView 3 software client will
always connect to the hub server using the Trusted Sites security zone. The Trusted Sites zone
contains very low security settings and ensures successful communication between the client and
the hub server.
