Setting the Room and Remote Access Passwords

You can set the room password to restrict who can configure system Admin
Settings using the remote control. You can set the remote access password to
restrict who can upgrade the Polycom QDX 6000 system software or perform
other remote management from a computer.

Select and configure these settings:
Description
Specifies whether to allow remote access to the system by:

Web

Telnet

SNMP
You may select any of these or any combination of them.
Note: The system restarts if you change the remote access
settings. This setting does not deactivate the associated port,
only the application.
Specifies whether to encrypt calls with other sites that support
AES encryption. If the far site does not have AES encryption
enabled, the call connects without encryption.
Specifies whether the User Settings screen is accessible to
users via the System screen.
Select this option if you want to allow users to change limited
environmental settings.
Specifies whether to allow viewing of the room where the
system is located, or video of calls in which the system
participates, using the Polycom QDX 6000 web interface.
Note: This feature activates both near site and far site video
displays in Web Director.
Specifies the port to use when accessing the system using
the Polycom QDX 6000 web interface.
If you change this from the default (port 80), specify a port
number of 1025 or higher, and make sure the port is not
already in use. You will need to include the port number with
the IP address when you use the Polycom QDX 6000 web
interface to access the system. This makes unauthorized
access more difficult.
Note: The system restarts if you change the web access port.
Go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > Security.
Enter or change the password.
The default room password is the 16-digit system serial number.
Go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > Security.
Clear the Use Room Password for Remote Access option if it is selected.
By default, the remote access password is the same as the room
