system using the
http://IPaddress

Using the HTTPS protocol ensures that the configuration of all login information
(such as user names and passwords) are transmitted using an encrypted channel,
including those user names and passwords used to communicate with third-party
systems on your network. Using the HTTPS protocol severely limits the ability of
anyone on the network to discover these credentials.
The Chair Control option is only available when the system is in a multipoint call. It
is not available in cascaded multipoint calls.
