Local User and Administrator Privilege Levels

Several local settings menus are protected with two privilege levels, user and

administrator, each with its own password. The phone will prompt for either

the user or administrator password before granting access to the various menu

options. When the user password is requested, the administrator password

will also work. The web server is protected by the administrator password

(refer to

Configuring SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Phones Locally

on page

4-50

).

Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

Custom Certificates

The phone trusts certificates issued by widely recognized certificate

authorities when trying to establish a connection to a boot server for

application provisioning. Refer to

Trusted Certificate Authority List

on page

C-1

.

In addition, custom certificates can be added to the phone. This is done by

using the SSL Security menu on the phone to provide the URL of the custom

certificate then select an option to use this custom certificate.

Configuration changes can performed locally:
