Correct Firewall Setup Verification
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2008 12:55 pm
Dear Plum Support Representative,
When customers setup their firewall to work with IVR its usually set to allow traffic only coming in from Plum Voice. This means that we have limited options to test whether or not their firewall is setup correctly.
Previously, we have asked assistance to conduct a very helpful test whereby Plum Voice technicians would attempt to telnet into the customer’s IVR server from one of their machines. This is a very useful test as it verified that our customers have the firewall setup correctly; there are no IVR components involved. We would like to know if there is a very expedient (quick and with as little impact on Plum Voice resources) way to accomplish this. In actuality, we the test is part of a debug process we conduct during our installations. Is there a way that WE could run the telnet test from the Plum Voice admin page? That would help us out a lot. We are wondering if that capability is already available and we are just not aware of it.
Thank You.
Best,
Jess
