TRUNK SECURITY

A potential risk for trunks is that unwanted users may gain the authority to make international or long

be extremely cautious when configuring those trunks that will be charged by placing certain calls, for

example, PSTN trunks or SIP trunks with international call capability.

OUTBOUND RULE PERMISSIONS

Two methods are supported on UCM6100 to control outbound rule permissions and users can apply one of

them to the outbound rule.

1. Privilege Level

2. Enable Filter on Source Caller ID

Please make sure to configure it to allow only the desired group of users to call from this route.
