Description
Specifies whether the system uses Security Mode, which
prevents unsecured access to the system. Every time you
enable Security Mode, you must configure a new password
for the system.
Specifies whether the room password and remote access
password are the same.
Enter or change the room password.
When the room password is set, you must enter it to
configure the system Admin Settings using the remote
control. The room password must not contain spaces.
Specifies the password users must supply to join multipoint
calls on this system if the call uses the internal multipoint
option, rather than an external MCU.
This field can also be used to store a password required by
another system that this system calls. If a password is
stored in this field, you do not need to enter it at the time of
the call; the VSX system supplies it to the system that
requires it. The meeting password must not contain spaces.
Enter or change the remote access password.
When the remote access password is set, you must enter it
to upgrade the software or manage the system from a
computer. The remote access password must not contain
spaces.
