Specifying the settings for SwyxServer
A central component of SwyxWare is “SwyxServer“, which manages all system subscribers, terminals and functions.
To specify the SwyxServer settings
The “Licensing” tab appears. | The selected type of licensing, online or via license key, cannot be changed later. If you want to select a different type of licensing after a licensing process has been completed, you must uninstall and reinstall SwyxWare and the SwyxWare database. |
Licensing type | Select the desired type for the SwyxWare licensing process from the drop-down list (see SwyxWare documentation for administrators, chapter "Licensing"). Licensing via license key Requires an entry of the purchased license key Online licensing The license verification is carried out by the Swyx license server. For this purpose, a permanent Internet connection between the license server and your SwyxServer must persist |
Evaluation installation | Check the box if you want to install SwyxWare with a temporary (up to 30 days) license key. |
Authentication for SIP devices | Activate the check box if all users must authenticate themselves to log on via SIP device. |
Default realm for SIP devices | Define the standard realm (FQDN or IP address) for all users at this SwyxServer. |
Lowest Internal Number | Specify the internal numbers range. Enter the same number of digits in both fields, i. e. ‘000’ to ‘999’, not ‘0’ to ‘999’. |
Highest Internal Number |
 | Encryption mode is determined globally for SwyxServer in this area, which means the settings you select here will influence the encryption settings in user and trunk properties. |
Encryption mode | Select the encryption mode you want. No encryption The voice data is not encrypted. Encryption preferred When “Encryption preferred” is selected, the voice data is only encrypted if the call partner has configured either “Encryption preferred” or “Encryption mandatory”. If this is not the case, the voice data is not encrypted, but phoning is still possible. Encryption mandatory When "Encryption mandatory" is selected, voice data encryption is obligatory. This means that either encryption always occurs or the call is aborted with the reason "Incompatible encryption settings". This can be the case, for example, when the call partner has configured the mode "No encryption". |
Enforce strong user passwords (not available for SwyxON) | If this control field is activated, only those user passwords will be permitted that are at least eight characters long and meet at least three of the following four character classes:  upper-case letters such as: [A-Z]lower-case letters such as: [a-z]Numbers [0-9]Non-alphanumeric characters (special characters) such as periods, commas, brackets, blanks, hash tags (#), question marks (?), percent signs (%), ampersands (&). |
New users must change their password at first logon | Activate the check box, so that newly configured users will be required to reset their password themselves after the first login and noone else will know their password. |
Maximum number of failed login attempts (0 = no limit) | Enter the number of attempts a user may make to log in to the server. Only the values “0” (number of failed login attempts is not limited) and “3” to “20” are allowed. |
| | The number of failed log-in attempts will be reset for the corresponding user after one successful login. After resetting the services or after changing between master and standby server, this number is reset to zero for all users. |
| | The number of failed log-on attempts is irrelevant, when the administrator has established a forced password change, and the user attempts to log-on with his/her previous password. |
Enable Remote Access | If support for direct internet connections to the clients is required, activate the check box. |
Authentication Server | Enter the public server address (FQDN or IP address) and the port in the respective fields, so that the clients can access SwyxServer via the internet. The registered public address of the authentication service must be configured within the respective settings on the client computers. If you use a different standard port and not 9101, it has to be explicitly input in the client settings. |
Port for Authentication Server | |
Standby Authentication Server | In a standby scenario, the corresponding inputs must also be entered for the standby system. |
Port for Standby Authentication Server | |
RemoteConnector Server | Enter the public server address (FQDN or IP) and the server port in the respective fields. The standard ports for the RemoteConnector are 16203 or 57203. |
Port for RemoteConnector Server | |
Standby RemoteConnector Server | In a standby scenario, the corresponding inputs must also be entered for the standby system. |
Port for Standby RemoteConnector Server |
SMTP Server | The explicit address of the SMTP mail server you use is entered in this field. All recorded voice mails and welcome emails are delivered to the user via this SMTP server. You can use a symbolic name, a DNS name, or a direct IP address in order to identify the SMTP server. |
SMTP Port | Enter the SMTP port for connecting the mail server. |
Originating Address | Enter the email sender address for all voice mails and welcome emails which SwyxServer will use to make deliveries to SwyxWare users (e. g. server@company.com). This address must be chosen in correlation to the SMTP mail server used. Some SMTP mail servers support any choice of originating addresses, others require that the address is in the same form as the address which already exists for you. In any case, the domain label (e. g. “@company.com”) should be identical to one of the domains managed by the mail server. |
Use SSL | Activate the check box, if you want to use a secure connection to the mail server, i. e. encoding the transferred data. |
Enable SMTP authentication | Activate the check box to enable mail server authentication support in line with specification RFC 2554. The specific processes supported here are “LOGIN”, “PLAIN”, “CRAM-MD5”. |
User Name | Enter the user name with which SwyxServer can authenticate itself on the mail server configured above. |
Password | Enter the password with which SwyxServer can authenticate itself on the mail server configured above. |
