Preventing Toll Fraud
Although recent court decisions and Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) regulations stipulate that toll fraud is the customer’s responsibility
and not the responsibility of the equipment vendors, MeetingPlace provides
you with several methods for preventing unauthorized use. Because
MeetingPlace is a powerful telecommunications system allowing calls in and
out, it is important to take steps to prevent unauthorized access to your
system.

Restricting Outdialing Privileges
The first level of protection against toll fraud is the user profile, which
determines a user’s outdial privileges and whether they can schedule
meetings that allow guests to attend over the web.

You can restrict outdialing privileges to specific user groups, such as sales
and marketing, or to specific user profiles, such as Jones and Smith. In the
most extreme case, you can choose to disable ad hoc outdialing for all users,
virtually eliminating the potential for toll fraud.

virtually eliminating the potential for toll fraud.
From the User Profiles and User Groups topic in the Configure tab, you can
ensure that only registered users can outdial from within meetings by
keeping the Can Call Out From Mtgs? parameter set to No in the guest
profile. If you want to simply restrict the number of outdials a user or guest
can make from within a meeting, set the Max Outdials per Mtg parameter to
a small number.

In addition, if you don’t want MeetingPlace to outdial to guests when they
click the Join Voice Conference button from the web, make sure the Can
Allow Guest Outdial in Mtgs parameter is set to No in all user profiles. For
more information on this parameter, see the Creating User Profiles section
earlier in this chapter.

Limiting Near-Term Meetings
You can limit the number of near-term meetings (meetings scheduled to
occur within six hours of the scheduling time) by setting the near-term limit
for User Groups and User Profiles.

Setting Up System-Wide Restrictions
The next level of security consists of the system outdialing translation tables.
The translation tables contain the rules on what phone numbers can be called
by the MeetingPlace system. The system can be configured with up to 16
different tables to provide unique capabilities for different user communities
on the system. Tables can also be set up through a PBX.

In setting up system-wide restrictions:

Be specific about who can and cannot outdial. In the Port Groups and
Ports topics in the Configure tab, you can set which ports can handle
outgoing calls. You can also set users’ outdial privileges in their individual
