6.10.2 Connecting to a nanoBTS
When the user performs an operation that requires BTS Installer to connect to a
nanoBTS,
BTS Installer will then make a secure connection if it can, and if it can’t make a secure
connection it will, if so allowed by the selected options, attempt to make an insecure
connection. The nanoBTS may refuse either type of connection depending on the
setting of its SSL Control attribute, which is initially set to Optional and may be viewed
and changed using Config Manager or some other management tool.
