 =====Specialized Firewalls=====
-For higher end firewalls, please observe manufacturers' best practices. These firewalls require you to set up a vlan. Your ring-u system WILL NOT work on these firewalls unless all guidelines are followed.\\
+For higher end firewalls you will need to VLAN your VOIP phones and appliances. This is due to the enhanced security they provide that also has a tendency to block or interfere with voice traffic. If you have an advanced/specialized firewall it is unlikely we will be able to help you solve phone system issues if you have not already put the entire phone system on its own private VLAN.
+**tl:dr -** if you don't follow your firewall manufacturer's VOIP guidelines, your ring-u system will not work and we will not be able to help you much.
+Please observe manufacturers' best practices from the links provided below.\\
