Start by configuring dial plans. It is also a good idea to make user
profiles to ensure that everything works in a seamless way. You can take
control of voice network by using device certificate to grant access to
your employees. You may also consider setting up username and
password for each profile.
Use specific features to determine what types of calls could be received
on the network. You can restrict different calls based on user, device, time
of day and other criteria.
Take advantage of the firewall feature. You can significantly lower the
risk of security breach by using a firewall –it is even better to set up
some type of intrusion prevention system. Such security features help
filter out unauthorized VoIP traffic. It will also enable you to monitor
authorized traffic and keep track of unusual voice activities.
