Quick Installation Guide: beroNet VoIP Gateways
Use a Secure Password
beroNet VoIP Gateways come with default credentials which are “admin / admin”.
This information is well-known and written on our documentation which is available
online. It is therefore very important to change the password and to set a secure one.
Deactivate bfdetect
bfdetect enables you to find and manage the IP settings of beroNet VoIP Gateways
on your network. It should be used once and then deactivated in order to prevent
somebody from messing with it. To deactivate it, navigate to “network settings” under
“preferences+” and click on the option “Disable bfdetect”.
Use HTTPS
HTTPS is an important part of VoIP security. In order to have an encrypted
connection on your gateway, also from LAN, we advise you to use https. It is a self-
signed certificate so you need to add it to the exceptions of your browser.
If not behind a Firewall, Configure the ACL
If your beroNet VoIP Gateway is directly accessible from the Internet, set ACL to
limit the access on your device. As a general rule you should restrict outside access to
your device as much as possible.
Keep you Gateway behind a Firewall
A VoIP Gateway is more secure when it is configured behind a firewall and only
accessible from the LAN. NAT and firewall rules should then be set in order to make
sure it works properly.
