The Confidea wireless conference system can be
personalized by defining and selecting a unique
encryption key.
By using a customized key, only the units that have
this key, i.e. on which the specific key has been
uploaded, can connect with the WCAP. All other
units will be rejected.
It is impossible to receive the transmitted audio
signal with a unit that does not have the customized
key.
Up to 15 customized encryption keys can be defined.
14.5. Setting a customized
encryption
To set up your system with a custom encryption key,
carefully follow these steps:
Step 1 - Check your configuration
Before uploading the custom key check if all units in
your system are switched on and connected to the
WCAP. Verify if the correct number of units is logged-
on by checking the “Units Initialized” number which
can be found under the “Unit monitoring” or “Init
Units” sub tabs in the “Conference management”
menu. Please refer to the initialization chapter (ref.)
for more information.
Step 2 – Go to the Key assignment web page
Select the “Key assignment” sub tab in the
“Encryption” menu from the web server (refer to
Figure 14.1.)
The key assignment page will appear (refer to Figure
14.2)
Step 3 – Enter a new encryption key
In this example we will modify custom key 1.
To manually enter a new custom key, choose a 32-
character long encryption key and manually enter it
in the text box next to the “custom key 1” mark
(refer to Figure 14.4).
Note:
The basis of the encryption mechanism
cannot be altered, so adding a custom
key does not affect the encryption
strength.
Default- and custom encryption yield an
encryption strength that is equally high.
Note:
Once uploaded to the delegate units,
custom keys cannot be retrieved from
the system.
Note:
If delegate units have received custom
keys in the past, it may be necessary to
select the default encryption
mechanism first, (refer to chapter 14.3
Setting the default encryption) to allow
each unit in the system to access the
WCAP.
