We are delighted that you've chosen JeraSoft VoIP Carrier Suite for Billing for your business. Since the installation of your JeraSoft VCS is complete, there are a few important steps that we strongly recommend you to perform before using the system. The safety of your business is very important for us. Please follow these recommendations carefully.

Security Guidelines

Firewall Configuration

The first step is configuring the firewall (iptables). Configure it according to your network policy and include the following requirements:
