If you set Port Priority to None, there is no capability to automatically terminate a user
session. Instead, the first user to connect to either port maintains access to that port until the
user is finished. Other users attempting to connect will be notified that the port is busy.
Security Configuration
Select [S] Security Configuration on the Configuration Menu to set the USTIP security
parameters.
•
Encryption mode: Toggle through the choices and select the desired level of encryption for
initial connection authentication and remote session video data transfer.
−
No encryption: No encryption or security. Neither the initial connection authentication
nor remote video data transfer is encrypted.
−
SSL authentication, NO data encryption: This mode secures user names and
passwords, but not KVM data. 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol provides a
private communications channel between USTIP and the Remote PC during initial
connection authentication. No encryption security in place during remote KVM data
transfer.
−
SSL authentication, data encryption (default): This mode secures user names,
passwords, and KVM data. 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol provides a
private communications channel between USTIP and the Remote PC during initial
connection authentication. After authentication, KVM data is also transferred with 128-
bit encryption, but using a proprietary protocol more efficient than SSL.
−
SSL authentication, SSL data encryption: This mode secures user names and
passwords, and provides high-level security for KVM data. 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) protocol provides a private communications channel between USTIP and the
Remote PC during initial connection authentication. 128-bit SSL encryption is also in
place during remote KVM data transfer.
Note: SSL data encryption increases the amount of data that must be sent over the remote
connection, and is, therefore, not recommended for modem or very slow Internet connections.
The default setting "SSL authentication, data encryption" offers exactly the same level of security
with a higher level of efficiency.

Allow remote administration:
−
NO: To keep access to all Administrative Functions available only from the USTIP
Admin Console, and not from a Remote PC.
