Result

• Only the allowed IP addresses can access PBX administrator portal. Users attempting to log in as administrator from disallowed IP addresses will receive different prompts depending on the address they visit:
  • If a user logs in as administrator using PBX IP address/admin/login, he or she will be prompted that the page is not found.

    

  • If a user logs in as administrator using PBX IP address/login, he or she will be prompted that "Your current IP address is restricted".

    

• The IP address(es) are added to the system's static defense rules. You can check it on Security > Security Rules > Static Defense.
  Note: Changes made to the static defense will not be synchronized to the allowed IP list here.
