ENCRyPTION
Provided that all parties participating have equipment supporting encryption, video meetings may be set
up using encrypted communication.
OFF:
The system will not send or receive encrypted data.
ON:
The system will send and receive encrypted data only. The call will not be established unless all
participants supports encryption.
AuTO:
The system will try to set up calls using encryption.
•
Point to point calls: If the far end system supports encryption (AES or DES), the call will be encrypted.
If not, the call will proceed without encryption.
•
MultiSite calls*: In order to have encrypted MultiSite calls, all sites must support encryption. A padlock
symbol on screen will indicate the encryption mode (AES or DES). If there is a mix of AES and DES
encryption, only the symbol for DES encryption (single padlock) will be displayed. The ‘closed
padlock’ will only be displayed on each site when all links in the MultiSite conference are encrypted.
* Only available on systems with MultiSite option supported and installed.
See the Diagnostics > Call Status menu for information about
the encryption algorithm and the encryption check code.

ENCRyPTION MODE
Let you choose between AES, DES, or have the system itself find the mode that all parties support.
AES (128 BIT):
The system will try to use AES with 128 bits encryption when setting up calls. If AES is
not supported by the other site(s), no other type of encryption will be initiated.
DES (56 BIT):
The system will try to set up the call using DES with 56 bits encryption. If none of the other
sites support DES, no other type of encryption will be initiated.
AuTO:
The system will try to use the most secure encryption – AES (128 bit) – depending on the
capabilities of the other sites. For sites that do not support AES encryption, DES (56 bit) encryption
will be tried.
Both AES and DES encryption are supported for mixed
ISDN*/IP calls.
Both AES and DES encrypted sites can be connected at the
same time.
* 1700 MXP does not support ISDN.
