Viewer encryption settings
The web browser viewers and VNC viewers (of level 4.0b5S or higher) offer four
encryption options. The resulting actions of certain options depend upon how
the MC5-IP to which you are connecting is congured:
• Always on - This setting will ensure that the link is encrypted, regardless of
the MC5-IP encryption setting.
• Let server choose - This setting will follow the conguration of the MC5-
IP. If the MC5-IP has a preference to encrypt the link, then it will be so,
otherwise the link will not be encrypted.
• Prefer off - This setting will congure an un-encrypted link if the MC5-IP
will allow it, otherwise it will be encrypted.
• Prefer on - If the MC5-IP allows it, this setting will congure an encrypted
link, otherwise it will be un-encrypted.
Whenever encryption does take place, the viewer will rst need to create the
necessary secure key before the connection process can continue.
