5. Select SIP encryption — stream encryption via SRTP:

   • No encryption - not used;
   • Encrypt when possible – using encryption is preferable but not mandatory; if the subscriber does not have it enabled, the connection will still be established;
   • Encrypt all – TrueConf MCU will not connect with subscribers who do not support SRTP.

6. Enter the IP address of the gateway in the Server address field.
