TeleControl Basic
As an integrated security function, the telecontrol protocol encrypts the data for transfer
between the CP and telecontrol server. The interval for the key exchange between the
CP and telecontrol server can be set.
The telecontrol password is used to authenticate the CP on the telecontrol server.
If the security functions are enabled, the CP can process telecontrol communication via
SINEMA Remote Connect.

The transmission protocols that can be used by the CP for telecontrol communication via
the ST7 protocol support the following security functions:

encryption of data. A user name and a password are included in the encryption. A
tunnel is established between the MSC station and MSC master station.
