Securing the TelePresence MCU
The MCU has a default administrator password that is blank. Cisco recommends that a secure password is
added before the product is used.

It is only possible to use HTTPS when accessing the MCU if the Encryption key is installed. This key is free;
however, it is only available in territories that allow encrypted communications.

The Encryption key also enables video calls to be encrypted. This allows AES encryption of H.323 media,
SRTP encryption of SIP media and TLS encryption of SIP signaling.

Note: Currently, the MCU is unable to transmit BFCP content to a SIP endpoint when the call is encrypted.
In this circumstance the MCU composites the content into the main video channel so that the participant can
see the content. In order for the MCU to send BFCP content, SIP calls must be unencrypted.

SSL Certificates
The MCU has a self-signed local certificate and private key pre-installed and these are used by default when
accessing the unit over HTTPS or for TLS encryption. However, we recommend that a new certificate and
private key be uploaded (
