SIP/IAX PASSWORD

When creating a new SIP/IAX extension, the UCM6100 administrator is required to configure "SIP/IAX
Password" which will be used for account registration authentication.
If "Enable Random Password" (on web GUI->PBX->Internal Options->General) is enabled, "SIP/IAX
Password" is automatically filled with a randomly generated secure password when creating the extension
on the UCM6100.
If "Enable Strong Password" (on web GUI-> PBX->Internal Options->General) is enabled, the password
must be alphanumeric which should contain numeric digit and at least one lower case alphabet or upper
case alphabet, or special character.
It is recommended to use random password and strong password to reduce the chance that the password
being guessed or cracked out.

STRATEGY OF IP ACCESS CONTROL

by editing "strategy" option under extension configuration dialog->"Media" tag.

to the account.
The strategy options are:

"Local Subnet Only": allows register requests from local IPs only. By default the local subnet where the
UCM6100 is location is allowed. User could also add more local subnets where devices are allowed to
register to this extension.

"A Specific IP Address": allows register requests from one user specified IP only.

"Allow All": the registration address is the entire Internet which is least recommended.
