SLM2048 web interface problem with firefox 4.0

[dave_c_ho]

Upgraded Firefox from 3.6 to 4.0 and now the slm2048 (firmware 2.0.0.8 & boot 1.0.1) web interface is having problems.I get the following error message:

error in Pager.SetpagerHTML String contains an invalid character.

Specifically the problem is hyperlink to switch other ports in port settings is missing. I've tried Chrome 10 and IE 8 and both have even worse issues.

Anyone have a workaround other than rolling back to Firefox 3.6?

David,

Actually the Gui's for the slm2048 are designed to work with Internet Explorer 5 to 7 and firefox is kind of a maybe on the gui.  However, you can use the IEtab 2 addon for firefox. 

Once installed you will see a firefox emplem in the bottom right hand corner of the webpage.  From here click the firefox emblem and it will turn into an internet explorer emblem. 

Now you will be emulating an internet explorer page in firefox and shouldn't have any issues with the gui.

Hi David,

Thank you for participating in the Small Business support community. My name is Nico Muselle from Cisco Sofia SBSC.

On these switches only internet explorer is supported as a browser. However, there might be an issue with what is displayed in IE8.

Therefore, could you please do the following :

The maximum number of connection per server should be limited to 1.

According to this MS article:

You have to follow procedure with version 8:

=============================================================

   1. Start Registry Editor.

   2. Locate the following key in the registry:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER

   3. On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values:

      Value name: iexplore.exe

      Value data: 10

      Base: Decimal

      Note set this value to the connection limit that you want for HTTP 1.1 connections. By setting the value to 10, you increase the connection limit to 10.

   4. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPER1_0SERVER

   5. On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values:

     Value name: iexplore.exe

      Value data: 10

      Base: Decimal

      Note set this value to the connection limit that you want for HTTP 1.1 connections. By setting the value to 10, you increase the connection limit to 10.

   6. Exit Registry Editor.

Please try and let me know if that solved your problem.
