Access Control rules can be found in the Switchvox Administration portal under Server -> Networking -> Access Control.

...

Here you will find two default rules: All Networks and Local Network.

...

It is recommended that you start with all of the services on All Networks set to 'Off', only enabling services that are required from devices outside of your network. If you have a trusted network that needs access, it is better to create a new rule and only enable services for that IP address and netmask.

By default, all services for the Local Network are enabled. It is still good practice to disable any services that are not required.

  • Rule Name- a unique name that will describe the rule.

Then, enable services you want this network to have access to by setting the option to 'Yes'. The services are:

  • Web Admin Portal- the Switchvox Admin tools suite.

  • Web User Portal- the Switchvox User tools suite.

  • Admin API- API calls to Admin tools. 

  • User API- API calls to User tools.

  • Printing- printing to Switchvox, including printing files to be faxed.

  • IMAP- the Switchvox IMAP server for voicemail and faxes. 

  • XMPP Server (Jabber)- XMPP chat server traffic.

  • SIP- SIP traffic.

  • NTP- Network Time Protocol traffic. 

  • SNMP- SNMP traffic. If you want to monitor Switchvox using SNMP, make sure this service is checked.
