Security Codes

￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

 

A subscriber security code prevents unauthorized callers from accessing

 

confidential messages.

 

For maximum security, the system never displays the security code on the

 

screen or reads it over the telephone, even to the subscriber. System

 

Managers cannot change or set a subscriber security code. Only the

 

subscriber can set the code, and only by telephone.

 

This chapter explains how security codes work, including how subscribers set

 

a security code by telephone, and what to do if subscribers forget their

SECTION 1

security code.

 

SECURITY CODES

 

AND PERSONAL ID

A security code is like a Personal ID because the subscriber enters it on the

 

touchtone pad as part of the subscriber identification process. A security code

 

is different from a Personal ID because a subscriber can change the security

 

code anytime.

 

Two subscribers with different Personal IDs can have the same security code

 

with no conflicts. The total possible security codes each subscriber may have

 

decreases the possibility of an unauthorized caller successfully cracking the

 

system. Unlike Personal IDs, the security code is never displayed anywhere.

SECTION 2

 

SET A SECURITY

 

CODE

A subscriber can set a security code during the enrollment conversation or by

 

accessing setup options.

 

If the subscriber enrolls in the system by telephone, the system asks the

 

subscriber to set a security code. The subscriber can set the security code

 

then, or skip setting a code and add one later using setup options. The

 

subscriber can also use setup options to change the code anytime.

 

A subscriber that does not set a security code may access the voice mail

 

system just by calling a Personal ID. However, privacy or unauthorized use is

 

not assured unless a security code is used.

 

To set a security code by telephone, refer to the EliteMail VMS/EliteMail

 

Limited Voice Mail User Guide #750178-0.
