Whitelist Proxy
To protect your IP phone network, you can configure a “
Whitelist Proxy
” feature that screens incoming call requests
received by the IP phones. When this feature is enabled, an IP phone accepts call requests from a trusted proxy server
only
.
The IP phone rejects any call requests from an untrusted proxy server.
The whitelist is dynamically updated (i.e. the phones are able to refresh and resync the whitelist [without a reboot] if the IP
addresses corresponding to the proxy FQDNs are changed on the DNS server).
The IP phone monitors the following events and an update is triggered if required:
•
200 OK responses to REGISTER requests if the peer’s IP address is not currently in the whitelist.
•
200 OK responses to INVITE requests if the peer’s IP address is not currently in the whitelist.
•
INVITE requests from untrusted proxy servers.
Configuring Whitelist Proxy Using the Configuration Files
You use the following parameter to configure the whitelist proxy feature using the configuration files:

Note:
An update will not be triggered for the following events:
