Flexible, Secure and Safe Operation1.1
Critical Communication over IP (CCoIP
®
) is our solution for VoIP
with IP services and applications integrating security and reliability
functionalities required in critical situations. The critical communication
solution can no longer be regarded as a totally independent system
isolated from data networks and their associated challenges.
The AlphaCom system provides carrier class system availability and
protects resources in an IP environment by using embedded IP security
mechanisms. The main AlphaCom XE security mechanisms are:
Restricted management access ●
Separate management interface ●
Internal rewall ●
Restricted management access1.1.1
All users need to authenticate themselves before gaining access
to management services. The authentication process uses an MD5
authentication routine.
Separate management interface1.1.2
AlphaCom XE comes with a separate Ethernet interface which can
be dedicated to management. This allows the administrator to build a
separate administration VLAN that is dedicated only to administrators.
Internalrewall1.1.3
AlphaCom XE has an internal rewall allowing the network administrator
to open and close IP services that are allowed access to AlphaCom XE
from the different networks.
AlphaCom XE comes with the most restrictive rewall settings by
default.
To change these settings, log into AlphaWeb as described in section 3.1.
