White List Access
In compliance with UC APL requirements for enhanced security of web access to the RMX, a
White List containing the addresses of IP Networking Entities permitted to connect to the
RMX’s Management Network is implemented - Networking Entities such as Network Hosts,
Control Workstations, Gatekeepers SIP/ DNS Servers, etc.
Guidelines
Only administrators can access and modify the White List.
•During First Time Installation and Configuration, when enabling the White List, the IP
address of the workstation used to run the RMX Web Client is automatically added to
the White List.
•The last White List entry cannot be deleted to prevent lock out. Any attempt to enable an
empty White List results in the display of an error message: WhiteList is empty please add
IP’s to the list if you want to enable WhiteList.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
Web access to the RMX for http and https is through ports 80 and 443 respectively.
•The White List can hold up to 100 entries. An error message is displayed when
exceeding this limit.
Access is blocked at the firewall for devices with IP addresses not listed in the White
List.
•The White List is saved during Backup, Restore and Upgrade processes.
Changes to the White List are written to the Auditor Event File.
Alterations to the White List do not require a system reset.
