Hostname. You can set a hostname for Switchvox (e.g., pbx.example.com) if you have a DNS setting. This may alleviate problems with delivering emails through particularly strict SMTP servers.
IMPORTANT: This option also sets the web server’s SSL key. This may help prevent warnings from your browser when logging into Switchvox. In most cases it is best to leave this option unchanged.
Jabber Hostname. You can set a hostname for the Jabber server in Switchvox (e.g., jabber. http://example.com ) if you have a DNS setting. This is important if you are peering Switchvoxes and want to use functions such as Presence or the Chat Panel.
IP ToS Audio and IP ToS Video. These options let you set the ToS or DSCP field in VOIP packets sent by Switchvox. This field can be used by firewalls and switches to distinguish specific types of traffic to apply QoS rules, such as favoring all voice traffic for better quality. Setting the ToS field isn’t a requirement for prioritizing VOIP traffic on your router, it’s just one way to identify VOIP traffic. If you’re not explicitly prioritizing this field in your network equipment, changing this option will have no effect on your VOIP quality.

HTTPS and Proxy settings direct all outgoing HTTP and HTTPS traffic to a web proxy. In Release 6.6, these settings are expanded. Now you can enter an SSL Certificate from a 3rd-party Certificate Authority, or from your organization's own Certificate Authority. If you do not have an SSL Certificate, SSL is explicitly Managed by Switchvox. For details, see HTTPS and SSL Certificates.

NOTE: Saving these changes requires a restart; all active calls will be dropped. We do not recommend making these changes during business hours. If changes are made here related to SSL Certificates, you must save and verify the appropriate changes on each Peered Switchvox. Then on each peer, navigate to Setup > Peered Switchvoxes, open the peer, and click the icon Fetch Peer Certificates, then click Save Peered Switchvox. |

SSL Certificates
Switchvox Managed. Leave this set to YES, unless you have purchased an SSL Certificate from a trusted 3rd-party Certificate Authority, or your organization is acting as its own Certificate Authority. If you need to enter your own SSL Certificate information, set this to NO. For details about using SSL Certificates, see the knowledge base article HTTPS and SSL Certificates.
When you have completed entering/editing, click the Save HTTPS and Proxy button.

Obtain a certificate that can be verified.
Set Managed by Switchvox to Yes under the General Settings tab until you can obtain a verified certificate.
If your Switchvox is fully isolated from the public Internet, you may consider turning off the Digium Phones' requirement for a secured SSL environment with a valid SSL certificate. For details, see Managing the Switchvox SSL Certificate and Digium Phones.
Internal Certificate Authorities
If your organization is its own Certificate Authority for its internal web services, you can enter that certificate under CA Cert . Switchvox will use that to facilitate communications with services such as an LDAP server.
