Toll Fraud Security
Although DNM and DPA are generally not at risk for toll fraud, customers are solely
responsible for the security of their entire telecommunications systems.
Toll Fraud is the unauthorized use of a company’s telecommunications system by
unauthorized parties. Unauthorized parties are persons other than the company’s
employees, agents, subcontractors, or persons working on behalf of the company.
Note: Toll fraud can result in substantial additional charges for the company’s
telecommunications services.
The company’s system manager is responsible for the security of the company’s system,
which includes programming and configuring the equipment to prevent unauthorized use.
Avaya Disclaimer Avaya does not warrant that this product is immune from or will prevent unauthorized use
of common-carrier telecommunications services or facilities accessed through or
connected to it. Avaya will not be responsible for any charges that result from such
unauthorized use.

Product Description
DEFINITY Proxy
Agent
DPA is a protocol conversion resource. It resides on a stand-alone personal computer and
operates on the UnixWare operating system.
DPA uses serial ports and TCP/IP ports to collect configuration and management data
from supported systems. It converst the data into the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). In addition, DPA generates SNMP traps when supported systems
generate alarms and system errors.
DPA then communicates the SNMP data to DNM, which resides on the Network
Management System (NMS) network server. The NMS network server can be
NT/Windows 2000.
