Encryption settings
The.AdderView.CATx.IP.offers.a.great.deal.of.flexibility.in.its.configuration.
and.this.extends.equally.to.its.encryption.settings.that.are.used.to.prevent.
unauthorised.interception.of.signals..Due.to.the.variety.of.situations.in.which.
the.AdderView.CATx.IP.might.be.used.and.the.range.of.viewer.applications.that.
need.to.view.it,.a.number.of.settings.are.available..The.encryption.settings.to.
use.depend.upon.how.the.potential.global.users.will.operate.
Important.factors.to.consider.when.setting.these.options.might.be:
•. Do.all.global.user.connections.and.operations.require.encryption?
•. Will.some.global.users.be.using.older.VNC.viewer.versions?
AdderView CATx IP encryption settings
The.AdderView.CATx.IP.configuration.menu.offers.three.encryption.settings:
•. Always on.-.This.setting.will.force.all.viewers.to.use.encryption..Note:
This setting will preclude any VNC viewer versions that do not support
encryption..
•. Prefer off.-.This.setting.does.not.enforce.encryption.unless.a.viewer.
specifically.requests.it..If.a.viewer.has.its.‘Let.server.choose’.setting,.then.an.
un-encrypted.link.will.be.set.up.
•. Prefer on.-.This.setting.generally.enforces.encryption.unless.an.earlier.
viewer.version.is.unable.to.support.it,.in.which.case.the.link.will.be.un-
encrypted..If.a.viewer.has.its.‘Let.server.choose’.setting,.then.the.link.will.be.
encrypted.
Viewer encryption settings
The.web.browser.viewers.and.VNC.viewers.(of.level.4.0b5S.or.higher).offer.four.
encryption.settings:
•. Always on.-.This.setting.will.ensure.that.the.link.is.encrypted,.regardless.of.
the.AdderView.CATx.IP.encryption.setting.
•. Let server choose.-.This.setting.will.follow.the.configuration.of.the.
AdderView.CATx.IP..If.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.has.‘Always.on’.or.‘Prefer.on’.
set,.then.the.link.will.be.encrypted..If.the.‘Prefer.off’.setting.is.selected.at.
the.AdderView.CATx.IP,.then.the.link.will.not.be.encrypted.
•. Prefer off.-.This.setting.will.configure.an.un-encrypted.link.if.the.
AdderView.CATx.IP.will.allow.it,.otherwise.it.will.be.encrypted.
•. Prefer on.-.If.the.AdderView.CATx.IP.allows.it,.this.setting.will.configure.an.
encrypted.link,.otherwise.it.will.be.un-encrypted..
