Configuring Security Mode

You can configure Polycom QDX 6000 systems to use Security Mode, which
provides secure access to the system. Security Mode utilizes TLS, HTTPS,
AES, digital signatures, and other security protocols, algorithms, and
mechanisms to put the system into a secure mode. These protocols encrypt
management communication over IP, preventing access by unauthorized
users.
Every time you enable Security Mode, you must configure a new password
for the system. The password cannot be blank and it cannot be the default
value (serial number).
