Overview

ASTPP facilitates authenticated access to its call-related services through a dual authentication approach. Firstly, the device-based method requires user agent clients to register with a provider username and password, ensuring authentication for each request sender. Secondly, ASTPP employs an IP-based authentication mechanism for more static endpoints, where authentication is established solely based on the source IP. Administrators have the flexibility to bind known source IPs provided by customers directly to their accounts. Additionally, IP ranges, including subnets, can be associated with customer accounts for a broader and more granular approach to IP authentication.

Purpose

The purpose of incorporating IP settings in ASTPP serves specific objectives to enhance authentication and control over call-related services and offers a more static and network-centric authentication method, authenticating requests based on the source IP.

  1. Flexible Source IP Binding:

    • Customer Account Association: Admins can bind known source IPs provided by customers directly to their accounts, allowing seamless and authenticated traffic from these sources.

    • IP Range Binding: Enables admins to associate IP ranges, including subnets, with customer accounts, offering a flexible and customizable approach to IP authentication.

  2. Enhanced Security and Control:

    • Granular Authentication: The IP settings feature provides a granular level of control over authentication, allowing admins to authenticate requests based on specific IPs or IP ranges.

    • Tailored Security Measures: Administrators can tailor security measures by selectively binding source IPs or IP ranges to customer accounts, bolstering the overall security of ASTPP.


IP settings in ASTPP serve the purpose of implementing dual authentication methods, providing flexibility in source IP binding, and enhancing security measures for authenticated access to call-related services within the platform.

Prefix 

The use of prefix is on the other PBX switch, calls are routed to ASTPP, and the account owner of ASTPP wants to authenticate traffic coming from PBX through a different account. Therefore, with the same IP account, the owner can configure different prefixes and create IP settings with multiple accounts. If the PBX is sending a call to ASTPP, the prefix assignment to the destination number must be managed from the dialplan of the PBX. As soon as the account is authenticated, the extra prefix will be removed

Status

Active / Inactive 

Global SIP Profile for IP setting

When a customer adds their own IP settings, we provide the option to assign a SIP profile to these IP settings. This can be done when the customer creates the settings themselves.

To do this, go to Configuration > Settings > Calls > General > SIP Profile. Here, the admin can select the default SIP profiles to assign to their customer.
