Editing the Whitelist on Other anynode Instances

Since anynode with the Request Router handles the initial SIP invites to the anynode systems, incoming requests from the VoIP provider are first processed by the anynode with the Request Router and then potentially forwarded to secondary or other anynode systems. To ensure that other anynode systems accept SIP invites from the Request Router anynode, the IP address of the anynode with the Request Router must be added to the provider node's whitelist for all other anynode systems.

Navigate to the provider node.

Click on the Media Negotiation object.

Click the pencil to edit the whitelist.
