High This setting allows only secure communication. Devices that are not capable of secure
communication will be discovered, but communication between the server and the device
will not be possible. Devices that are not capable of secure communication can be
identified by a red circle and slash over the device icon.
Medium This setting allows both secure and insecure communication, but prefers secure
communication. Communication is secure if the device is capable of secure
communication whether it is locked down or not. Devices that are not locked down and/or
are incapable of secure communication will continue to communicate over insecure
channels.
Low (Default) This setting allows both secure and insecure communication, but prefers insecure
communication. Communication is secure only if the device is capable and locked down.
All other communication is insecure.
Off This setting allows only insecure communication. Devices that are locked down will not be
able to communicate with the server.
