Table 3-5	Fields on the Security Settings page (continued)
Field		Description
Disable enhanced		Enhanced support allows Polycom Global Services
support		personnel to securely access the system when normal
		access methods aren’t possible. For example,
		enhanced support could allow support of a DMA system
		when console access is disabled and system errors
		prevent access to the management interface.
		Using the enhanced support feature, expert Polycom
		Global Services personnel can enable console access
		when necessary using Single Packet Authorization
		(SPA) technology. This is a more secure method than
		console access, so the default is to not disable it.
		We strongly recommend leaving this setting off so that
		the enhanced support feature remains available. If
		neither enhanced support nor console access is
		available, recovering from a serious problem may
		require re-imaging the system, resulting in a loss of
		data.
		This setting is automatically turned on if Maximum
		security is enabled.
