WiFi 2.4 GHz: can be affected by various household appliances due to interference, signal blocking, and electromagnetic disruptions. Ex.: microwaves, cordless phones, baby monitors, Bluetooth Devices, smart Home Devices, fluorescent lights.

Antivirus: Antivirus must be running at the time of the certification

 

Recommended Firewall Configuration for Enhanced Security:

For optimal security, it is highly recommended to use a modern firewall that supports DNS-based rules, rather than relying solely on traditional IP-based rules.

Why DNS-Based Rules?

  • Improved Flexibility: Dynamically resolves domain-based traffic.

  • Better Security: Reduces reliance on static IPs that may change.

  • Simplified Management: Avoids frequent IP updates.

🔹 Legacy Firewall Considerations:

  • IP addresses are provided only for legacy firewalls that do not support DNS rules.

  • STUN Servers Exception: IPs for STUN servers are not provided, as these are managed by Google and subject to change.

Recommendation: Upgrade to a DNS-aware firewall to ensure seamless security and compliance with modern networking best practices.

 

Network Stability & QoS Configuration:

In any shared network environment, it is essential to implement Quality of Service (QoS) policies and bandwidth limiters to maintain a stable and reliable connection.

Key Considerations:

  • QoS Settings: Prioritize critical traffic to prevent congestion.

  • Bandwidth Limiters: Prevent excessive usage from affecting other network users.

  • Applies to:

    • Local network equipment (e.g., routers, switches).

    • Firewalls with traffic management capabilities.

 

Secure API Communication Requirements:

All API calls must use TLS 1.2 or higher to ensure encrypted and secure communication.

Encryption Standards:

  • Only modern ciphers are supported.

  • For a full list of supported ciphers, refer to [this list] (use the modern profile).

📌 Ensure compliance with these security standards to maintain a secure integration.

 

IPv6 Configuration for Optimal Audio Quality:

For the best audio quality, it is highly recommended to disable IPv6.

Why?

  • Reduces potential latency and packet loss.

  • Prevents network inconsistencies with IPv6-to-IPv4 transitions.

  • Ensures better compatibility with VoIP services.

  • For a better understanding of this issue, please refer to the following article:https://singlecomm.atlassian.net/wiki/x/FQDF3w

 

Bandwidth Usage per Station:

Sip communications:

  • 128kbit/s bosth way

  • Latency not greater than 100ms

Script:

5 Mbps is generally considered sufficient, allowing for downloading necessary files and occasional uploads without significant lag, although heavier scripting projects or frequent large file transfers might require significantly higher speeds depending on the complexity and volume of data involved. 

HD video call:

1.5 -3 Mbps download speed, Upload speed is also important: While not as high as download speed, you need sufficient upload bandwidth to send your video stream clearly.

 Screen Capture 1080p @30 fps:

1.5 - 2.8 Mbps Generally speaking, playing a video at the Streamer computer will consume much more data than ordinary office work, given the same resolution and frame rate.

Considering all these factors, we estimate that the ideal bandwidth for the ACD, using only screen capture, is 8 Mbps for both download and upload. If you plan to use the client website or engage in external browsing, we recommend a minimum of 10 Mbps in both directions
