Notes for Administrators

The iPCS app normally connects to your Public IP address on port 5000 that is forwarded to the SpliceCom phone system gateway. However when you are in your office, on your office Wi-Fi this forwarding may not work, you then need to use the Internal IP address of the SpliceCom phone system gateway.

So your users don't need to keep changing the IP address in their app, you need to make a couple of new DNS records:

In your public DNS record set splicecom.<YourDomainName> to point to your Public IP address

On your internal DNS server set splicecom.<YourDomainName> to point to the Internal IP address of the SpliceCom phone system gateway.

Your users then enter splicecom.<YourDomainName> into the "Address" setting in the iPCS app
