Click on the buttons to sort the list in ascending/descending order based on a specific column. |
Custom Display Option | Users could customize the displaying options on the list by clicking on option on the right side of the list to select the displayed/hidden options. |
Filter and Search | Filter accounts by status, site, and search for specific accounts by entering their user IDs, account names, or display names. |
Add SIP Server
The SIP Server page shows all of the SIP servers added to GDMS.
Server Name |
Specifies an identity name for the SIP server. (Required) |
SIP Server | This is a necessary option. Specifies the URL or IP address, and port of the SIP server. This should be provided by the VoIP service provider (ITSP). |
Outbound Proxy | Configures the IP address or the domain name of the primary outbound proxy, media gateway, or session border controller. It is used by the phone for firewall or NAT penetration in different network environments. If a symmetric NAT is detected, STUN will not work and only an outbound proxy can provide a solution. |
Secondary Outbound Proxy | Sets the IP address or domain name of the secondary outbound proxy, media gateway, or session border controller. The phone system will try to connect the Secondary outbound proxy only if the primary outbound proxy fails. |
Voice Mail Access Number |
Sets if the phone system allows users to access the voice messages by pressing the MESSAGE key on the phone. This ID is usually the VM portal access number. For example, in UCM6xxx IPPBX, *97 could be used. |
DNS Mode | Defines which DNS service will be used to look up the IP address for the SIP server’s hostname. There are three modes:
To locate the server by DNS SRV set this option to “SRV” or “NATPTR/SRV”. |
NAT Traversal | Specifies which NAT traversal mechanism will be enabled on the phone system. It can be selected from the dropdown list:
If the outbound proxy is configured and used, it can be set to “NAT NO”. If set to “STUN” and the STUN server is configured, the phone system will periodically send a STUN message to the STUN server to get the public IP address of its NAT environment and keep the NAT port open. STUN will not work if the NAT is a symmetric type. If set to “Keep-alive”, the phone system will send the STUN packets to maintain the connection that is first established during the registration of the phone. The “Keep-alive” packets will fool the NAT device into keeping the connection open and this allows the host server to send SIP requests directly to the registered phone. If it needs to use OpenVPN to connect to the host server, it needs to set it to “VPN”. If the firewall and the SIP device behind the firewall are both able to use UPnP, it can be set to “UPnP”. Both parties will negotiate to use of which port to allow SIP through. |
Proxy-Require |
Adds the Proxy-Required header in the SIP message. It is used to indicate proxy-sensitive features that must be supported by the proxy. Do not configure this parameter unless this feature is supported on the SIP server. |
Additional Settings | Users could add the custom fields below. Some custom fields are only available for certain device models:
For detailed filling rules, please refer to the User Guide of the devices. |

MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
GDMS Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is the simple and best security practice method that adds extra protection to account username and password. When MFA is enabled, the user will be required to enter the login username and password (the first security method) and an authentication code (the second security method) from the MFA device when they log on to the GDMS platform. These multiple methods will improve the security of the settings and resources of your GDMS account.
Users can purchase supported physical devices or virtual MFA devices to enable MFA for GDMS accounts.
- Virtual MFA Device
Virtual MFA Device is an application that runs and simulates physical devices on mobile phones or other devices. Virtual MFA device will generate a six-digit code based on a one-time time-synchronized cryptographic algorithm.
When logging into the GDMS platform, the user must type in a valid code from the specific device. Each virtual MFA device assigned to the user must be unique. The user cannot type in the code with another user’s virtual MFA device code for authentication. Since the virtual MFA device may be executed on an unsafe mobile device, it may not provide the same level of security as a physical MFA device.
- Physical MFA Device
A physical MFA Device is a device that can generate a six-digit code based on a one-time time-synchronized cryptographic algorithm.
When logging into the GDMS platform, the user must type in a valid code from the specific device. Each physical MFA device assigned to the user must be unique. The user cannot type in the code with another user’s physical MFA device code for authentication.

The user needs to press the button on the front of the physical MFA device to display the secret code. Then, wait for 30 seconds and press the display button on the front of the physical MFA device again, so that the MFA device will generate the second six-digit one-time password. The user needs to enter the second one-time password in the MFA secret code box Code 2.
- Click on the “Start Verification” option to start to verify the password. When the verification is passed, the GDMS account and the physical MFA device have been bound successfully. When the user tries to log in to the GDMS platform, the user must input the MFA device code.
Enable FIDO Security Key
FIDO security keys are an authentication hardware which are provided by third-party companies, e.g., Yubico. These devices use complex encryption algorithms to ensure a safe authentication into your GDMS accout.
The user can select “FIDO Security Key” as a method of multi-factor authentication. When this method is selected, the user needs to connect the FIDO hardware to the computer and configure the hardware as prompted for authentication.
Remove MFA Device
If the user does not need to proceed with MFA verification, the user can remove the MFA device and restore the normal login authentication method.
- Log in to the GDMS platform with your account number, click on the name at the upper right corner, and access the personal information page.
- Click the “Remove” button to remove the MFA Authentication function for the current GDMS account.
Lost MFA Device/Invalid MFA Device
If your MFA device is lost or does not work properly, you can remove the MFA device first and then re-enable the new MFA device.
Method 1: If your GDMS account is a sub-account, you can contact the main GDMS account to remove your multi-factor authentication from the User management page. After removal, you can log in to the GDMS platform with the password, and then re-enable the new MFA device.
Method 2: If your GDMS account is the main GDMS account and you cannot log in to the GDMS platform, you can contact our Technical Support, provide your relevant information to our Technical Support, and they will help you remove the multi-factor authentication (Our Technical Support will send the removal email to the user and the user needs to input account password and check removal).
