SIP Hacking Protection

Internet phone eavesdropping is a network attack that allows unauthorized parties to intercept and access the content of the communication sessions between intercom users. This can expose sensitive and confidential information to the attackers. SIP hacking protection is a technique that secures SIP calls from being compromised on the Internet.

Enable the feature on the web Account > Advanced > Call interface.

  • Prevent SIP Hacking: Enable to activate this feature during SIP calls. This feature is only available for SIP calls.

Multicast

The Multicast function allows one-to-many broadcasting for different purposes.

Quick Dial By Number Replacement

The dial number replacement feature simplifies long and complex dial numbers of the device, providing shorter and more user-friendly alternatives for making calls. It allows the substitution of multiple dial numbers, such as IP addresses or SIP numbers, with a single, simplified number.

Set it up on the Phone > Dial Plan interface. Click Add.

  • Account: Choose the account for dial number replacement. By default, it is set to Auto, which means calls will go out from the registered account. You can select either Account 1 or Account 2 to make the call. If both accounts are registered, it will use Account 1 by default.

  • Prefix: The short number that replaces the dial number.

  • Replace: Enter the dial number(s) to be replaced. For example, if you replace five original dial numbers with a common short number, such as 101, then the five intercom devices with the dial number will be called at the same time when users dial 101.

You can import or export the quick dial numbers on the same interface. The file supported is XML.

Quick dial can also be set up on the device > Dial Plan screen.

Area Code

Area codes are also known as NPAs (Numbering Plan Areas). They usually indicate different geographical areas within one country. If the entered numbers match the predefined area code rule, the phone will automatically prefix the outgoing number with the area code.
