All TANDBERG systems support both AES* and DES encryption. By default this feature is enabled such that when connecting with any other video system or MCU, a TANDBERG system will attempt to establish a secure conference using AES* or DES encryption. The TANDBERG system will attempt this for both IP and ISDN connections.
