Making Encryption
Settings
If you configure the encryption settings, you will only be
able to establish video conference calls with a party that
has the same encryption key, so you can prevent
making calls to, or receiving calls from, unknown parties
unintentionally. The following two methods are
available for configuring the encryption settings.
Set a shared encryption key
Use this method if it is not necessary to change
encryption keys when communicating with different
parties. All parties set the same encryption key, which
makes this method appropriate within a company or
organization.
Set an encryption key for each local site
With this method, an encryption key is set for each local
site, and the encryption key is switched when you select
a local site. For example, if you make video conference
calls with several different clients, you can change the
encryption key for each client and avoid sharing
encryption keys between the various clients.
Note
•
If an encryption key is not set, you cannot
enable encryption.
•
You can configure both the shared encryption
key method and the local site encryption key
method at the same time, and use the two
methods separately. When you select a local
site, the local site encryption key method is
used, and when you cancel the local site
selection, the shared encryption key method is
used.
•
If you configure the encryption settings
following the procedure in "Setting a Shared
Encryption Key", the same settings will
automatically be applied in IP Mode. Note that
after configuring the settings, you may not be
able to establish a video conference call with
parties you had been communicating with in IP
Mode.
If you do not want to apply the settings to IP
Mode, configure the encryption settings
following the procedure in "Setting an
Encryption Key for Each Local Site".
•
When establishing a video conference call,
even if one party is using the shared encryption
key method and the other party is using the local
site encryption key method, a video conference
