Inbound Rule Example: Allowing Videoconferencing

You can create an inbound rule to allow incoming videoconferencing to be initiated from a restricted range of outside IP addresses, such as from a branch office. In this example, CU-SeeMe connections are allowed only from a specified range of external IP addresses. This example also specifies logging of any incoming CU-SeeMe requests that do not match the allowed parameters.
