Is there a Grandstream device for that?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Answer:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will need a GSM gateway (non-Grandstream) and add it to your UCM as a VOIP trunk<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Question 3: Does Grandstream Affinity need to be installed on a PC that is directly connected to the UCM on the same network, if so how does that affect security if someone compromises the PC?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"post-thumbnail\" href=\"\/manufacturer\/grandstream\/ip-pbx\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'image2');\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-263393 alignright\" src=\"\/blog\/voip-insider\/files\/2018\/03\/ucm2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voipsupply.com\/blog\/voip-insider\/files\/2018\/03\/ucm2.jpg 419w, https:\/\/www.voipsupply.com\/blog\/voip-insider\/files\/2018\/03\/ucm2-150x131.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.voipsupply.com\/blog\/voip-insider\/files\/2018\/03\/ucm2-300x262.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/a>Answer: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, Affinity is a Windows-based software that needs to be connected to a PC on the same LAN as the GXP phone. Only models GXP16xx and 21xx supports it. You need to secure your PC as you normally do on normal operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Question 4: UCM as Open VPN server?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No, only as a client<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Question 5: Is there a way to have an extension that is outside the PBX on another Asterisk server via SIP URI?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Answer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SIP URI is not recommended for security reasons.
