Security
There are two areas where unauthorized use may occur with this feature:
unauthorized local use and remote access.
!SECURITY ALERT:
Unauthorized local use involves unauthorized users who attempt to make
calls from a PC. The PC software has a security setting so users can place
the PC in Security Mode when it is unattended. You also can assign
Automatic Security so that the administration program on the PC is always
active and runs in Security Mode. This mode is password-protected.
!SECURITY ALERT:
Remote access involves remote access to the PC over a data extension.
Remote users can delete or copy PC files with this feature. You can
password-protect this feature. Ref er to the BCS Pr odu cts Secu rity Handbook
for additional steps to secure your system and to find out about obtaining
information regularly about security developments.

Considerations
■Use the Function Key Module of the 7405D with PC Interface.
■BRI terminals normally are initializing termin a ls and require you to assign
an SPID. The PC/ISDN Platform (Group 2), in a stand-alone configuration,
is a non-initializing BRI terminal and does not require you to assign a
SPID.
— Set a locally-defined terminal type with General Terminal
Administration
— Define the terminal ty pe as a non-initializing terminal that does no t
support Management Information Messages (MIM).
— Assign the PC/ISDN Platform with an associated (initializing)
ISDN-BRI telephone (such as an ISDN 7505) using a SPID.
— Assign the station (using a locally-defined terminal type) to take full
advantage of the capabilities of the PC Interface . T h is terminal type
is also non-initializing with no support of MIMs.
