SARK500 network defaults SARK500 runs as a discrete network server as part of an existing IP network setup. SARK500 has its own on-board firewall but it will normally sit behind an existing upstream “nat” firewall or router.

FIREWALL SARK500 uses the Shorewall firewall to manage access to the PBX. Shorewall is a very comprehensive and powerful Linux firewall which, like all firewalls, can be complex to set up. However, SARK completely automates the initial firewall creation. It also makes management relatively straightforward by exposing a set of simple rules for the user to configure.
