. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in 

whichever browser you use. We recommend you upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or greater to enable JavaScript. 
If a different web browser is used, make sure it is compatible with HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.

Configuring your machine for a

 users are 

also able to connect to the machine and manage it.
