SECTION 3

 

USE A SECURITY

 

CODE

When a subscriber who has set a security code calls the system and

 

enters a Personal ID, the system asks:

 

“Please enter your personal security code.”

 

The subscriber then enters the security code on the keypad. If the

 

subscriber enters the code correctly, the system begins the subscriber

 

conversation.

 

If the subscriber enters the wrong security code, the system informs the

 

subscriber, then restarts the call.

 

The subscriber must enter the Personal ID before the system asks for the

 

security code again. This makes it more difficult for an unauthorized caller

 

to break into the system and prevents the subscriber from entering the

 

wrong Personal ID.

 

You may program the maximum number of retries a subscriber can make

 

to enter a valid Personal ID and security code in the Max ID attempts field

 

on Application screen Page 6.

 

The system does not play the subscriber recorded name until after the

 

correct security code is entered.

 

A subscriber who realizes the security code entered is wrong can press

 

the pound key and enter a correct personal ID and security code.

 

Security Codes and Other Security Issues

 

Each system subscriber must use a security code to protect the subscriber

 

from unauthorized or fraudulent use of the voice mail system. Subscribers

 

should also be cautioned to:

 

Keep their security code secret.

Change their security code frequently. Use a code that is easy to

￿remember, but hard for others to guess.

Notify the System Manager if their EliteMail VMS/EliteMail Limited Voice Mail User Guide #750178-0 or Quick Option Menus card is stolen. Someone may try to crack the system by guessing Personal IDs or try to find a mailbox without a security code.
