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).

Allow Video
Display on Web

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.

Web Access Port
(http)

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.

Allow Access to
User Settings

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.
