Description

password for the remote controlled UI.
Specifies whether to encrypt the
Advanced Settings screen of the
remote controlled UI.
If this parameter is enabled, you must
enter the administrator password to
access the Advanced screen. If this

Disable: No stream is encrypted.
Enable: Stream encryption is mandatory. If you select this option, the endpoint can only
attend encrypted conferences. If a remote site is also encryption capable, an encrypted
conference is initiated upon successful call connection with the remote site. If the remote
site is encryption incapable, the call to the remote site fails.
Maximum interconnectivity: Media streams are encrypted only when a call is set up. If
you select this option for the local site, the conferences between the local and remote
sites are not encrypted only when Disable is selected for the remote sites.
