About the Default Zone

The Default Zone represents any incoming calls from endpoints or other devices that are unregistered or not
recognized as belonging to the Local Zone or any of the existing configured zones.
The VCS comes pre-configured with the Default Zone and
Subzone and the Traversal Subzone. Note that the Default Zone cannot be deleted.

Configuring the Default Zone

By configuring the Default Zone you can control how the VCS handles calls from unrecognized systems and
endpoints. To configure the Default Zone, go to
DefaultZone.
The configurable options are:
Field Description
Authentication The Authentication policy setting
policy controls how the VCS challenges
incoming messages to the Default Zone.
Media The Media encryption mode setting
encryption controls the media encryption
mode capabilities for SIP calls flowing through
the Default Zone.
Use Default The Use Default Zone access rules
Zone access setting controls which external systems
rules are allowed to connect over SIP TLS to
the VCS via the Default Zone.
Using links and pipes to manage access and bandwidth
You can also manage calls from unrecognized systems and endpoints by configuring the

delete the default links to prevent any incoming calls from unrecognized endpoints
n
apply pipes to the default links to control the bandwidth consumed by incoming calls from unrecognized
n
endpoints

If the access rules are enabled, then by default no
systems will be allowed to connect over SIP TLS via
the Default Zone; you must set up the
the systems you want to grant access.
Note that this setting does not affect other
connections to the Default Zone (H.323 and
SIP UDP/TCP).
