Explanation

FIPS mode activation on a Cisco TelePresence C-Series codec cannot be reversed with a toggle command and instead requires a full factory reset, achievable either from the touch screen or via SSH.

Common mistakes.

• A. Cisco TelePresence C-Series codecs do not provide a simple FIPS mode toggle in the touch screen Administrator Settings; removing FIPS requires a full factory reset.
• C. There is no 'disable all security settings' option in the touch screen Administrator Settings menu on C-Series codecs.
• D. The command 'xCommand Security FIPSMode Deactivate' does not exist in the Cisco TelePresence C-Series API; FIPS mode has no direct deactivation command.
• E. When FIPS mode is active on a C-Series codec, Telnet access is disabled, making it impossible to connect via Telnet to issue any reset command.
