Security
Polycom, Inc. 8–9
After the Polycom HDX system is up and running, you can change the Security
Profile setting only by returning to the setup wizard. The setup wizard is
available during initial setup, after a software update or system reset with
system settings deleted, or after using the restore button.
To view the configuration settings for your Security Profile:
>> Do one of the following:
— In the local interface, go to System > Admin Settings > General
Settings > Security > Security Settings (select if necessary).
— In the web interface, go to Admin Settings > General Settings >
Security > Security Settings.
Configuring Security Mode
You can configure Polycom HDX 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 new passwords for
the Admin, User, and Meeting passwords that are currently configured. The
passwords cannot be blank and they cannot be the default value (the HDX
system’s serial number).
Medium Restricts some settings and allows for more user access to the
system. Most settings are configurable. This profile might be useful
for system administrators who have a moderate concern for
security.
Low Restricts very few settings. This profile might be useful for system
administrators who want to require a password for remote access.
Minimum Limitations are minimal. All settings are configurable. This profile
might be useful for system administrators who need few restrictions
within in their environment.
