TE20 Videoconferencing Endpoint
Administrator Guide
During startup, press and hold Power and RST buttons at the same time for 5s to restore to
factory defaults.
10.2.3 Configuring Encryption
You can enable encryption to improve video communication security.
Background
On an IP network that is neither quality-guaranteed nor secure, encryption can be used to
increase the video communication security, but may decrease communication efficiency. Both
parties involved in communication must support encryption; otherwise, encryption fails. To
improve communication security, you are advised to enable encryption.
Before initiating a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) encrypted conference, you are advised to
enable encryption and Transport Layer Security (TLS) registration to improve communication
security.
Procedure
To configure encryption on the web interface:
1.

10.2.4 Web Management Users
You can manage admin and api user names and passwords on the web interface.
Background
admin and api: administrators with the same rights
Logging In to the Web Interface
The endpoint supports logins in HTTP and HTTPS modes. HTTPS mode, which is more
secure, is used by default. If you use HTTP to log in to the web interface of the endpoint, the
system automatically switches to the HTTPS mode.
Step 1 Open a browser on the computer. In the address box, enter the IP address, such as
https://192.168.1.1.
Step 2 Press Enter.
The login page is displayed, as shown in Figure 10-1.

1. Log in to the web interface, choose System Settings > Security > Encryption and
configure the encryption mechanism.
−
Not encrypted: No stream is encrypted.
−
Force encryption: Streams are forced to be encrypted. If you select this option,
your endpoint can attend encrypted conferences only. To improve communication
security, select this option.
−
Automatic encryption: endpoint uses the appropriate encryption policy and
algorithm to encrypt streams. Streams are encrypted only when a call is set up. If
you select this option for the local site and encryption is disabled at a remote site,
the conference between the local and remote sites is not encrypted.
Click Save for the settings to take effect immediately.
