Security

3Select and configure these settings:

Setting	Description
Enable Remote	Specifies whether to allow remote access to the system by:
Access		Web
		Telnet
		SNMP
	You may select any of these or any combination of them.
	Note: The system restarts if you change the remote access
	settings. This setting does not deactivate the associated port,
	only the application.
AES encryption	Specifies whether to encrypt calls with other sites that support
	AES encryption. If the far site does not have AES encryption
	enabled, the call connects without encryption.
Allow Access to	Specifies whether the User Settings screen is accessible to
User Settings	users via the System screen.
	Select this option if you want to allow users to change limited
	environmental settings.
Allow Video	Specifies whether to allow viewing of the room where the
Display on Web	system is located, or video of calls in which the system
	participates, using the Polycom QDX 6000 web interface.
	Note: This feature activates both near site and far site video
	displays in Web Director.
Web Access Port	Specifies the port to use when accessing the system using
(http)	the Polycom QDX 6000 web interface.
	If you change this from the default (port 80), specify a port
	number of 1025 or higher, and make sure the port is not
	already in use. You will need to include the port number with
	the IP address when you use the Polycom QDX 6000 web
	interface to access the system. This makes unauthorized
	access more difficult.
	Note: The system restarts if you change the web access port.
