TLS 

 

The UCM6100 administrators may consider securing SIP packets sent across an untrusted network. Using 

TLS could be a solution. It will authenticate servers and clients, and then encrypt SIP messages between 

the authenticated parties. 

 

TLS can be configured under UCM6100 web GUI->PBX->SIP Settings->TCP/TLS page. 

 

 

Figure 8: PBX->SIP Settings->TCP/TLS 

 

1. 

Set “TLS Enable” as “Yes” to enable TLS on UCM6100. 

2. 

Configure “TLS Do Not Verify”, “TLS Self-Signed CA” and “TLS Cert” properly to achieve basic TLS 

authentication and encryption. 

 

 

TLS Self-Signed CA 

This  is  used  when  UCM6100  acts  as  a  client,  to  authenticate  the  server.  If  the  server  the 

UCM6100 connecting to uses a self-signed certificate,  you should  have their certificate  installed
