Preventing Toll Fraud
“Toll fraud” is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system by an unauthorized party (for example, a person who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or working on your company’s behalf). Be aw are th at th ere ma y b e a ris k of tol l f raud associated with your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunica­tions services.

Providing T elecommunications Security
Telecommunications security of voic e, da ta, and/or video commu­nications is the prevention of any type of i n trusion to, that is, either unauthoriz ed or malicious access to or use of, your com ­pany’s telecommunications equipment) by some party.
Your company’s “telec o mmunications equipment” include s bot h this Avaya product and any other voice/data/video equipment that could be accessed via thi s Avaya product (i.e., “networked equip­ment”).
An “outside party” is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontrac tor, or working on your company’s behalf. Whereas, a “malicious party” is anyone, including someone who may be otherwise authorized, who a ccesse s your telecom munica­tions equipm ent with either malici ous or mischievous intent .
Such intrusions may be either to/through synchronous (time-mul­tiplexed and/or circuit-based) or asynchronous (characte r-, m es­sage-, 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-facil ity access)
• Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)
• Mischief (troubling, but appare nt ly i nnocuous, tampering)
• Harm (such as harmful ta m pering, 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 networked equipme nt . Also realize that, if such an intrusion sho uld occur, it could result in a
variety of losses to your com pa ny including, but not limited to, human/data privacy, intellectual prope rty, material assets, finan­cial resources, labor costs, and/or l egal costs.
Y o ur Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security
The final responsibility for securing both this system and its net­worked equipment rest s wit h you – an Avaya customer ’s system administrator, your telecommunications peers, and your managers. Base the fulfillment of your responsibility on acquired knowledge and resources from a variety of sources including, but not li m it ed to:
• Installatio n doc uments
• System administration documents
• Security docume nt s
• Hardware-/software-ba sed se curity tools
• Shared information between you and your peers

Using the Display Screen

Introduction

The DEFINITY® 4606 IP Telephone has a 2-line by 16 character display (screen) area located at the top third of the phone. What you see on the display is controlled by the current status of the phone or by selections you make using Line/Feature buttons, Access Codes, or dedicated feature buttons like Redial or Transfer.
The 4606 IP Telephone's display:
3
■
Indicates the date and time of day on the top line when the phone is idle
■
Displays call information on both lines, such as the extension being dialed or the name and extension of someone calling you
■
Shows feature-related instructions or messages when using certain phone features

About the Display Screen

The two display lines provide (general) information (time of day), feature information/instructions, and/or call information.

Upper Display Line

The Time and Date appear on the upper display line when the phone is idle. Time and date are set at the switch, so if there is an error, contact your Telephone System Administrator.
When plugging in your 4606 IP Telephone for the first time, or after a power outage, it may take several minutes for the time and date to appear on the display screen.

Line/Feature Button Information
Line/Feature button information identifies the line being used. Each of the six Line/Feature buttons is given an alphabetic designation of a through c (left column) and d through f (right column). When the display shows a=, it represents call information for the first Line/Feature button; the next button down would show as b=, and so on. Line/Feature buttons are also called "call appearance" buttons.
Call Information
Call information, such as the extension being dialed or the name and extension of the person you are calling, displays. When someone on another extension calls you, the display shows the caller's name. Outside calls show either the telephone number, the words OUTSIDE CALL, or a trunk identifier.

We cover feature access methods in the next section. Following that section, a “Feature List” provides a reference to the procedures for activating and using features, which are then listed in alphabetical order.

Check with your System Administrator for the configuration of your phone system.

Accessing IP Telephone Features

Your 4606 IP Telephone provides two ways to access IP T elephone features:
1. Your System Administrator may have programmed some of your
telephone's Line/Feature buttons to automatically access a feature when pressed. "steady green" indicator light to signify active status. When the feature is deactivated (turned off), the indicator light goes off.
2. If you don't have a button administered on your phone for a specific feature,
you may be able to access a feature by entering a two or three digit Feature Access code using the number pad. Note that the procedures in this chapter often provide information about using access codes for applicable features. Your System Administrator assigns access codes.
In some cases, features activated via Line/Feature buttons have a
NOTE:
Note that because the DEFINITY 4606 IP Telephone has just six line/feature buttons, button-activated features may be limited.

Retrieving Voice Messages

Message Retrieval

Your message indicator lights when a caller has left you a message. Because voice mail systems are administered differently among customers, check your office procedures for message retrieval. For example, some telephone users may be authorized to retrieve messages for other telephones not equipped with a display.

To retrieve a message by dialing the voice mail system

Basic Troubleshooting

Problem/Symptom Suggested Solution

Unless your System Administrator has already initialized your telephone, you may experience a delay of several minutes before it becomes operational. Upon plug-in, your telephone immediately begins downloading its operational software, its IP address and any special features programmed by your System Administrator from the server to which it is connected. Report any delay of more than 8-10 minutes to your System Administrator.
Allow a few minutes for re-initialization after unplugging, powering down the phone, server problems or other power interruption causes .

Resetting and Power Cycling the IP Telephone

Power cycling the phone

Use the power cycle with your System Administrator’s approval only if the basic or programmed reset procedure cannot be performed or does not correct the problem:

The phone connection is re-established.
2. If power-cycling does not correct the problem, your System Administrator can perform a more severe power cycle routine by unplugging both the phone and the Ethernet cables.

WARNING:
Because the type of power cycle mentioned in Step 2 involves reprogramming certain values, it should only be performed by your Telephone System Administrator.
