Enabling Encryption in the Profile

Encryption for the conference is in the Profile and cannot be changed once the conference is running.

To enable encryption at the conference level:

>>In the Conference Profile Properties – Advanced dialog box, select one of the following Encryption options:

—Encrypt All - Encryption is enabled for the conference and all conference participants must be encrypted.

—No Encryption - Encryption is disabled for the conference.

—Encrypt when possible - enables the negotiation between the MCU and the endpoints and let the MCU connect the participants according to their capabilities, where encryption is the preferred setting. For connection guidelines see "Mixing Encrypted and Non-encrypted Endpoints in one Conference” on page 4-41.

For more information about recording encrypted conferences, see "Recording Link Encryption” on page 14-7.

Enabling Encryption at the Participant Level

You can select the encryption mode for each of the defined participants. Encryption options are affected by the settings of the flag in the system configuration. Undefined participants are connected with the Participant Encryption option set to Auto, inheriting the conference/ Entry Queue encryption setting.
