Voice encryption
Your OpenStage 60/60 G/80/80 G, software release 2 (V2 R0.xxxx) and lat-
er supports voice encryption on HiPath 4000 V4 R1. In this way you can
make a OpenStage tap-proof call. Voice transmission is encrypted and is
decrypted at the other call party’s phone and vice versa.
There is a difference between secure modes "Cipher Mode" and "Secure
Mode".
In idle mode, you can see which secure mode is activated on your Open-
Stage display
Cipher Mode
To guarantee that your calls are always secure, your service personnel can
activate "Cipher Mode". In this mode, voice transmission is always encrypt-
ed, even when it is to a phone that does not support voice encryption.
However, this may cause a loss in call quality.
If your phone is in "Cipher Mode", you receive the message "always en-
abled" when you query status
Secure Mode
If "Secure Mode" is enabled on your phone, and a connection is established
to a phone that does not support voice encryption, the call is not encrypt-
ed, i. e. unsecured.
Your service personnel can define on your communication system whether
you are notified of unencrypted calls and how
If your phone is in "Secure Mode", you receive the message "enabled"
