Lucent Technologies partner voice messaging card User Manual

The System Manager is responsible for the security of the system. As the
System Manager, it is important that you fully understand and appropriately

administer this product to reduce your risk of incurring charges that result from
unauthorized use of the system. Under the law, you, the customer is
responsible for paying for part or all of those unauthorized calls.

Be aware that criminals called hackers may attempt to gain unauthorized

access to your communications system and your voice messaging system.
Hackers often try to trick a company's employees into providing them with
access to an outside line or an outside operator. They may also concentrate
their activities in two areas related to the voice messaging system:

■

■

They try to dial into a mailbox, then execute a transfer to an outside line.
Then they dial an access code, followed by a digit string to either direct
dial or access a network operator to complete the call.

They try to locate unused or unprotected mailboxes and use them as
drop-off points for their own messages.

To reduce the risk of unauthorized use of your communications and voice
messaging systems, you should:

■

■

■

Change the System Manager's password from the factory setting. Use a
hard-to-guess value.

Advise subscribers to protect their mailboxes by changing their passwords
(a four-digit password is required) when they log into PARTNER Voice

Messaging for the first time and frequently thereafter. Subscribers can refer

to the instructions for changing their passwords in "Using PARTNER Voice
Messaging" in this guide, or refer to the PARTNER Voice Messaging Quick
Reference Card.

Monitor your call reporting system records of outgoing calls to identify
possible system abuse.
