Encryption settings
The AdderLink IP offers a great deal of exibility in its conguration and this
extends equally to its encryption settings. Due to the variety and of situations in
which it might be used and the range of viewer applications that need to view
it, a number of settings are available that might not make perfect sense at rst
glance. However, these settings should allow you to congure the AdderLink IP
and the viewers to operate as required.
Factors to consider when setting these options might be:
• Do all of the connections and operations require encryption?
• Will some users be using older VNC viewer versions?
AdderLink IP encryption settings
The AdderLink IP conguration page offers three encryption settings:
• Always on - This setting will force all viewers to use encryption. Note:
This setting will preclude any VNC viewer versions that do not support
encryption.
• Prefer off - This setting does not enforce encryption unless a viewer
specically requests it. If a viewer has its ‘Let server choose’ setting, then an
un-encrypted link will be set up.
• Prefer on - This setting generally enforces encryption unless an earlier
viewer version is unable to support it, in which case the link will be un-
encrypted. If a viewer has its ‘Let server choose’ setting, then the link will be
encrypted.
Viewer encryption settings
The web browser viewers and VNC viewers (of level 4.0b5S or higher) offer four
encryption settings:
• Always on - This setting will ensure that the link is encrypted, regardless of
the AdderLink IP encryption setting.
• Let server choose - This setting will follow the conguration of the
AdderLink IP. If the AdderLink IP has ‘Always on’ or ‘Prefer on’ set, then the
link will be encrypted. If the ‘Prefer off’ setting is selected at the AdderLink
IP, then the link will not be encrypted.
• Prefer off - This setting will congure an un-encrypted link if the AdderLink
IP will allow it, otherwise it will be encrypted.
• Prefer on - If the AdderLink IP allows it, this setting will congure an
encrypted link, otherwise it will be un-encrypted.
