IP Line Description, Installation and Maintenance
If a zero length (null) password is entered, then the Node ID, TN, and
Password screens are not displayed on the IP Phone during the registration
process. This provides the most security as it prevents any entry of passwords
or TNs from the IP Phone.
Temporary IP Phone Installer Password
A Temporary IP Phone Installer Password can be configured, which provides
temporary user access to the TN for configuration.
A temporary password removes the need to distribute the Node password and
then change the password afterwards. The temporary password is
automatically deleted after it has been used the defined number of times or
when the duration expires, whichever comes first.
The following are examples of situations where the Temporary IP Phone
Installer Password can be used:
• A department is installing an IP Softphone 2050. The technician creates
a temporary password, sets an appropriate number of uses (such as
allowing two logins for each IP Softphone 2050 in case a problem occurs
the first time) and sets the duration to expire by the end of the weekend.
The password access automatically ends before Monday morning (or
sooner if the number of uses expires).
• A telecommuter needs to install an IP Phone. The technician provides the
temporary password that expires the next day or after two uses. When the
IP Phone Installer Password protection is enabled, the Set TN is not
displayed as part of the Set Info sub-menu of the Telephone Option
menu. The IP Phone’s TN can be retrieved on the core CPU through the
LD 20 PRT DNB and LD 32 IDU, or LD 80 TRAC, or PDT> rlmShow.
It can also be found on the Voice Gateway Media Card through IPL>
isetShowByIP.
