Neither the initial connection authenticationnor remote video data transfer is encrypted.− SSL authentication, NO data encryption: This mode secures user names andpasswords, but not KVM data. 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol provides aprivate communications channel between Dominion KSX and the Remote PC duringinitial connection authentication. No encryption security in place during remote KVMdata transfer.− SSL authentication, data encryption (default): This mode secures user names,passwords, and KVM data. 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol provides aprivate communications channel between Dominion KSX and the Remote PC duringinitial connection authentication. After authentication, KVM data is also transferred with128-bit encryption, but using a proprietary protocol more efficient than SSL.− SSL authentication, SSL data encryption: This mode secures user names andpasswords, and provides high-level security for KVM data. 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer(SSL) protocol provides a private communications channel between Dominion KSX andthe Remote PC during initial connection authentication. 128-bit SSL encryption is also inplace during remote KVM data transfer.Note: SSL data encryption increases the amount of data that must be sent over the remoteconnection, and is, therefore, not recommended for modem or very slow Internet connections.The default setting “SSL authentication, data encryption” offers exactly the same level of securitywith a higher level of efficiency.• Remote link blanks user port: Determines whether the Direct Analog User port will beblanked out locally when a remote user is accessing the corresponding KVM port. This keepsa local user from seeing what the remote user is doing.− NO (default): User port can be viewed locally during remote user access.− YES: User port cannot be viewed locally during remote user access.
