🔍 Understanding VOS3000 Geofencing
Geofencing in VOS3000 refers to the ability to restrict or allow calls based on geographic indicators such as IP address ranges, phone number prefixes (area codes), and regional identifiers. This functionality is essential for fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, and cost optimization.
📊 Types of Geographic Restrictions in VOS3000
| 🔒 Restriction Type | 📋 Mechanism | 💼 Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| IP-Based Access Control | Allow/deny by source IP address | Restrict access to known partners |
| Caller ID Prefix Restriction | Block calls from specific area codes | Block high-fraud regions |
| Called Number Restriction | Block calls to specific destinations | Prevent calls to premium/satellite |
| Gateway IP Filtering | Accept signaling only from gateway IP | Prevent unauthorized gateway use |
| Account IP Binding | Bind account to specific IP | Ensure account used only from office |
🔒 IP-Based Access Control Configuration
Reference: VOS3000 2.1.9.07 Manual, Section 4.3.5 (System Parameters)
IP-based access control is the foundation of VOS3000 geofencing. By restricting which IP addresses can register, make calls, or access the management interface, operators can significantly reduce fraud risk and unauthorized access.
⚙️ IP Access Control Parameters (VOS3000 Geofencing)
| ⚙️ Parameter | 📊 Default | 📝 Description | 💡 Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS_ACCESS_IP_CHECK | 0 (disabled) | Enable IP access validation for accounts | Set to 1 for production |
| SS_REG_FAIL_BLACKLIST_COUNT | 5 | Failed registrations before blacklist | 3-5 recommended |
| SS_REG_FAIL_BLACKLIST_TIME | 3600 (1 hour) | Duration of IP blacklist | 86400 (24 hours) recommended |
| SS_SIP_DYNAMIC_BLACKLIST_EXPIRE | 3600 | Dynamic blacklist expiration | Adjust based on threat level |

📞 Number Prefix Geographic Restrictions
Reference: VOS3000 2.1.9.07 Manual, Section 4.3 (Gateway Configuration)
Number prefix restrictions allow operators to block or allow calls based on the geographic region indicated by phone number prefixes. This is particularly useful for blocking calls to/from high-fraud regions or destinations with regulatory restrictions.
📊 Caller Number Prefix Restrictions (VOS3000 Geofencing)
| ⚙️ Configuration | 📍 Location | 📝 Description | 💡 Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caller Prefix Allow | Gateway → Additional settings → Caller prefix | Only accept calls with these caller prefixes | 1,44,81 (US, UK, Japan) |
| Caller Prefix Deny | Gateway → Additional settings → Caller prefix | Reject calls with these caller prefixes | 234,91 (Known fraud sources) |
| Caller Length Restriction | System parameter → SS_CALLERALLOWLENGTH | Maximum caller ID length | 15 (typical international) |
📊 Called Number Prefix Restrictions
| ⚙️ Configuration | 📍 Location | 📝 Description | 💡 Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Called Prefix Allow | Gateway → Additional settings → Called prefix | Only route calls to these destinations | 1,44,81,86 |
| Called Prefix Deny | Gateway → Additional settings → Called prefix | Block calls to these destinations | 881,882 (Satellite – high cost) |
| Account Authorization | Account Management → Account auth | Per-account destination restrictions | Block international, premium |

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I block entire countries from calling my VOS3000?
Yes, you can block entire countries by configuring IP-based restrictions for IP ranges assigned to specific countries, and/or by blocking calls with caller ID prefixes associated with those countries. This requires maintaining up-to-date IP geolocation data and prefix lists.
How do I know if an IP is attempting fraud?
Monitor for patterns like: multiple failed registration attempts, calls to unusual destinations, sudden spike in call volume, calls at unusual hours, and calls to premium rate numbers. VOS3000’s dynamic blacklist feature automatically blocks IPs with repeated failed authentication.
What destinations should I block by default?
Consider blocking: satellite codes (881, 882, 883), premium rate numbers (900 series), known high-fraud regions, and destinations you don’t do business with. Always balance security with business needs – over-blocking can reject legitimate calls.
How do IP restrictions interact with NAT?
IP restrictions work with the source IP seen by VOS3000. If clients are behind NAT, the restriction applies to the NAT public IP. For accounts behind the same NAT, use account-level credentials rather than IP restrictions alone.
Can I whitelist specific IPs while blocking all others?
Yes. Enable SS_ACCESS_IP_CHECK and configure Access IP fields for each account with only the allowed IP addresses. Calls from any other IP will be rejected even with correct credentials.
