Preventing calls to Avaya IX
™
CU360 from invalid numbers
About this task
Prevent calls from invalid numbers to enhance security, especially if users can gain access to
Avaya IX
™
CU360 from public networks. Preventing such calls blocks hackers from attacking your
SIP and H.323–based networks.
You can prevent calls from invalid numbers separately for each network interface. If Avaya IX
™
CU360 is not registered to:
• A SIP server, incoming SIP-based calls using IP addresses are rejected. Calls must be
established using:
- The user@host syntax.
- The host##user syntax where host is the Avaya IX
™
CU360 IP address and user is the SIP
user name.
• A gatekeeper, incoming H323–based calls using IP addresses are rejected. Calls must be
established using:
- The alias@host syntax.
- The host##alias syntax where host is the Avaya IX
™
CU360 IP address and alias is the
H.323 alias.
