Redundancy Support

The 3300 ICP can auto fail over (route) around failed IP links if provisioned redundantly.

Security

Toll Control

Any communications system that has a combination of Direct Inward System Access (DISA), integrated auto attendant, or RAD groups and peripheral interfaced auto attendant or voice mail can be susceptible to toll abuse. Therefore, it’s important to assign appropriate telephone privileges to users and devices. In addition, telephones in public places (such as a lobby telephone) should be denied toll access unless authorized through an attendant.

The 3300 ICP system has comprehensive toll control as an integral part of the call control. It lets you restrict user access to trunk routes and/or specific external directory numbers. It also provides Class of Restriction (COR) and Class of Service (COS) features that can substantially reduce the risk of toll abuse.

Features that have a risk of toll abuse are

•Public Network to Public Network Connection Allowed permits or restricts trunks being connected together

•Call Forwarding External Destination allows or restricts extension user to forward calls to external trunks

•Automatic Route Selection allows or restricts, on a per user or system basis, access to directory numbers based on a users job function (note: 1-800 calls are usually free calls, but some central offices can allow the reversal of 800 charges so that they are toll calls for your company).

As a deterrent to toll abuse by internal callers, Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) can be used to track calls from within your company giving detailed information including the originating extension number, time, duration, and number dialed. SMDR record access should be restricted as with any other function.

Authorized Maintenance Access

Authorized access to the system tools provides protection for various administration commands from unauthorized users. The web-based system tools are

•System Administration Tool

•Group Administration Tool

•Desktop Tool.

Each user is given a login name, password, extension number, and language preference. All systems should have all levels of passwords and login names altered from the default value and these passwords should be changed periodically.

Ensure that any voice mail systems connected directly to modems employ a surveillance device. Also, most voice mail systems require a password to gain access; therefore, make sure that this password is difficult to guess and is changed frequently. Any user no longer authorized to use the system should have password privileges revoked immediately.
