D1335803_TMaestro_MXP_User_Manual Appendix 3 Environmental considerations This section explains how to carry out basic adjustments and simple tests to ensure that you send and receive the best possible image and audio quality when using your system. Iris control and lighting By default the system camera will use an automatic iris to compensate for changes in lighting. In addition to this feature, you may further assist the system to maintain the best possible image quality by paying special attention to environmental lighting and background colors as described below.

D1335803_TMaestro_MXP_User_Manual Appendix 5 Security The system has several features both to protect from unauthorized use and system access: Access Code: When Access Code is enabled, the user will be asked to enter an access code before he/she is able to make a call. The system will verify if the entered access code is valid by checking the code with the allowed codes listed in the access.txt file on the ftp-server in the system.
Page 245
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.
