• Encryption mode – click on the drop-down arrow to select one of the following:
 SSL authentication, NO data encryption: Usernames and passwords are secured, but KVM
transmissions are not. 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol provides a private
communications channel between the KX unit and the Remote PC during initial connection
authentication. No encryption security in place during remote KVM data transfer.
 SSL authentication, data encryption: Secures user names, passwords and KVM data,
including video transmissions. 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol provides a
private communications channel between the KX unit and the Remote PC during initial
connection authentication. After authentication, KVM data is also transferred with 128-bit
encryption, but using a protocol much more efficient than SSL (RC4 encryption, but without
SSL headers). Raritan recommends this option.
 SSL authentication, SSL data encryption: Secures user names and passwords, and
provides high-level security for KVM data. 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
provides a private communications channel between the KX unit and the Remote PC during
initial connection authentication. 128-bit SSL encryption is also in place during remote KVM
