Providing Telecommunications Security

Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video communications) is the prevention of a ny type of intrusion to (that is, either unauthorized or malicious access to or use of) your company's telecommunications equipment by some party.

Y our company's “telecommunications equipment” includes both this Avaya product and any other voice/data/video equipment that could be accessed via this Avaya product (that is, “networked equipment”).

An “outside party” is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf. Whereas, a “malicious party” is anyone (including someone who may be otherwise authorized) who accesses your telecommunications equipment with either malicious or mischievous intent.

Such intrusions may be either to/throu gh synchronous (time-multiplexed and/or circuit-based), or asynchronous (character -, message-, or packet-based) equipment, or interfaces for reasons of:

• Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)

• Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets , or toll facility access)

• Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)

• Mischief (troubling, but apparently innocuous, tampering)

• Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration, regardless of motive or intent)

Be aware that there may be a risk of unauthorized intrusions associated with your system and/or its netw orked equipmen t. Also re alize th at, if su ch an intrusion should occur, it could result in a variety of losses to your company (including but not limited to, human/data privacy, intellectual property, material assets, financial resources, labor cos t s, and/or legal costs).

Call Appearance and Call Identification Displays

By default, the 2420 telephone has eight call appearance/feature buttons per screen page. When Call Center mode is enabled, 12 call appearance/feature buttons appear on the first two pages of the Home Screen.

Starting with the first button in the upper left corner of the 2420 telephone and going down, the display identifies the buttons in the left column. These buttons are considered call appearance/ feature buttons 1 through 4. On the display, these buttons have the default labels a, b, c, etc., where a represents call appeara nce/feature button 1. The buttons in the right column run from 5 through 8. If Call Center mode is enabled, call appearance/feature buttons 17 through 20 are identified by default labels q, r, s, and t. These call appearance/feature buttons appear along the bottom of the screen with abbreviated labels.

When you receive or make calls, the available call identification information is displayed where the date and time appear when the telephone is idle. For example, when you dial an extension, that number is shown and then replaced by the called party’s name and extension. The call processing system provides the call identification information that is associated with an extension. When you receive a call from another extension, the caller’s name appears. When you receive a call from outside the system, the calling number (if available), “OUTSIDE CALL,” or a trunk identifier appears.

The Home Screen

One call appearance is underlined at all times. When a call arrives at the 2420 telephone, the bell icon blinks on the corresponding call appearance. After you answer the call, the active call icon is displayed. See Status Icons

on page 16 for more information.
