The security settings are stored on the system and are separate from the system's configuration settings. To change a system's security settings, IP Office Manager must first be switched to security mode by selecting File > Advanced > Security Settings from the menu bar.

Security settings can only be loaded directly from a system. These settings cannot be saved as a file on the local PC, nor do they appear as a temporary file at any time. By default, IP Office Manager and the system will always attempt to use a secured link for configuration and security settings exchanges.
