Viewer encryption settings

The web browser viewers and VNC viewers (of level 4.0b5S or higher) offer four encryption options. The resulting actions of certain options depend upon how the Wizard IP Plus to which you are connecting is configured:

•Always on - This setting will ensure that the link is encrypted, regardless of the Wizard IP Plus encryption setting.

•Let server choose - This setting will follow the configuration of the Wizard IP Plus. If the Wizard IP Plus has a preference to encrypt the link, then it will be so, otherwise the link will not be encrypted.

•Prefer off - This setting will configure an un-encrypted link if the Wizard IP Plus will allow it, otherwise it will be encrypted.

•Prefer on - If the Wizard IP Plus allows it, this setting will configure an encrypted link, otherwise it will be un-encrypted.

Whenever encryption does take place, the viewer will first need to create the necessary secure key before the connection process can continue.
