Web browsers with the V-Series Manager
V-Series appliances are configured and maintained with a Web-based user interface called the V-Series manager. The V-Series manager should be used with one of these supported browsers:
*
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
*
Mozilla Firefox versions 4.x to 16.x and later
*
Google Chrome 13 and later
 
* 
Note 
If you are using Internet Explorer, make sure that Enhanced Security Configuration is turned off.
When you access the V-Series manager for the first time, you will get a certificate warning because the V-Series manager offers a self-signed certificate. To eliminate the warnings, install the certificate into your browser's CA store. For instructions, see your browser documentation.
