2.7 Phone Security

There are a number of methods by which additional security can be implemented to ensure that an IP phone does not adopt the identity of another.

∙Disable Auto-Create Extension

Following installation, disabling Auto-Create Extn Enabled in the IP Office Manager System Gatekeeper tab stops new IP devices from assigning themselves as new extensions.

∙Restrict the IP Address or MAC Address

Entering either of these values in the Extension's VoIP tab will restrict usage to that address or device. The MAC address of an IP phone is printed on a label on the base of the phone.

∙Set a User Login Code

If a user Login Code is set, then any other IP device trying to log on as that extension must also enter the correct login code. If a login code is set, the user can use hot desk to log off and log on elsewhere.
