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 is not working on your company's
behalf). Be aware that there may be a risk of toll fraud associated with
your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in substantial
additional charges for your telecommunications services.
Avaya Fraud Intervention
If you suspect that you are being victimized by toll fraud and you need
technical assistance or support, in the United States and Canada, call the
Technical Service Center's Toll Fraud Intervention Hotline at
1-800-643-2353.

Providing Telecommunications Security
Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video
communications) is the prevention of any type of intrusion to (that is,
either unauthorized or malicious access to or use of) your company's
telecommunications equipment by some party.
Your 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/through 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 networked equipment. Also realize that, if
such 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 costs,
and/or legal costs).
Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security
The final responsibility for securing both this system and its networked
equipment rests with you - Avaya’s customer 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 limited to:
• Installation documents
• System administration documents
• Security documents
• Hardware-/software-based security tools
• Shared information between you and your peers
• Telecommunications security experts
To prevent intrusions to your telecommunications equipment, you and
your peers should carefully program and configure:
• Your Avaya-provided telecommunications systems and their
interfaces
• Your Avaya-provided software applications, as well as their
underlying hardware/software platforms and interfaces
• Any other equipment networked to your Avaya products
TCP/IP Facilities
Customers may experience differences in product performance,

Avaya Network Mana g em e nt Console User Guide 15
Chapter 1
What is Avay a Network Management Server
Avaya Network Management Server communicates with the devices in
the network via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) V1 or
V3. It receives user input via Avaya Network Management Console and
updates Avaya Network Management Console with information from
the network devices. Avaya Network Management Server runs in the
background as a Windows 2000/XP service. The server provides a central
address for event reporting. It passes traps to Avaya Network
Management Console for display in the Event Log Browser. For more
information about event handling and traps, refer to “What is Event
Handling” on page 18.
In addition, Avaya Network Management Server allows you to operate
Avaya Network Management Console from a remote location. This
feature provides a method for managing your network from any
computer connected to the Internet. By pointing your web browser to
Avaya Network Management Server’s IP address, you can access
Avaya Network Management Console and manage your network. For
more information on running Avaya Network Management Console
from a remote location, refer to “What is Remote Access” on page 21
.
What is Avay a Ne two r k Management Console
Avaya Network Management Console is the user interface to Avaya
Network Management Server. It receives information from Avaya
Network Management Server and sends the server information input by
the user. Avaya Network Management Console displays the devices in
the current Network Map using a hierarchical tree. The tree can be
organized by subnet or device type, or logically by systems. Additionally,
you can create custom views of the network.
16 Avaya Network Mana gement Console User Guide
Network Management in Standa lone Mode
Figure 1-2. Avaya Network Management Console
When a device in the Network Tree is selected, information about the
selected device appears in the Network Table. You can then modify the
device’s parameters. Avaya Network Management Console also provides
the ability to launch applications that communicate directly with the
device. These applications allow you to manage the device via its
Command Line Interface (CLI) or Device Manager, and monitor the
traffic on the device. For example, if you select an Avaya P330 Device in
the Network Table, you can launch Telnet to configure the device via its
CLI or launch Avaya P330 Device Manager to configure and monitor the
device via its management application and monitor the device using
Avaya P330 SMON Manager.
In addition, Avaya Network Management Console allows you to launch
network-wide applications such as, Avaya Software Update Manager for
updating embedded software, Avaya VLAN Manager for managing
VLANs across the entire network, and Avaya SMON Manager for
monitoring network traffic.
What is a Network Map
A Network Map consists of all of the devices known to Avaya Network
Management Server. The list of devices is stored in the Network File,
along with basic information about each device. When Avaya Network
Management Console opens, Avaya Network Management Server
extracts information about the devices in the Network Map from the
Network File. These devices are displayed in the Network Tree.
Avaya Network Mana g em e nt Console User Guide 17
Chapter 1
Devices can be added to the current Network Map using Discovery or the
Add Device dialog box. Devices in the Network Map can also be
modified. All changes to the Network Map are stored in the Network
File.
You can maintain multiple Network Maps by saving individual maps
with unique names. The Network Map whose devices are visible in
Avaya Network Management Console is the current Network Map.
You can also create a text file that contains the necessary information
about each device you want to add to the current Network Map and
import the devices listed in the file into the Network Map. For more
information on importing devices into the Network Map, refer to
“Importing Devices into the Network Map” on page 74
Avaya Network Management Server can also export the information in
the current Network Map to a CSV file. For more information on
exporting the device information from the current Network Map, refer
to “Exporting the Network Map” on page 75
.
.
What is Discovery
Network Management in Standalone Mode can ‘discover’ the subnets
and nodes on your network. The Discovery tool uses SNMP MIB-II on
network nodes to search your network. In addition, you can instruct
Discovery to use ICMP Echo (ping) to search the network. You can
instruct Discovery to search your entire network for subnets and nodes,
limit the search to selected subnets, or update information about the
objects in the Network View.
The Discovery window shows a list of the subnets discovered with the
number of nodes found in each subnet. You can apply the results of a
Discovery to the current Network Map.
What is Event Handling
Events are unexpected or extraordinary occurrences in your network.
Examples of events include the loss of a port’s connection, the insertion
or removal of a module from a device, and the failure of a fan or power
supply. Network Management provides a method of reporting network
events.
* Note: For the purposes of this document, the terms ‘event’ and
‘trap’ are used interchangeably.
18 Avaya Network Mana gement Console User Guide
Network Management in Standa lone Mode
Network Management communicates with device agents using SNMP.
Device agents can send traps to Avaya Network Management Server
reporting on the status of their ports, modules, etc. The server then
passes traps to the relevant managers of the device involved and updates
the Event Manager.
To receive traps using Network Management in Standalone Mode,
network devices must be configured to send traps to the Avaya Network
Management Server. For information on configuring Avaya LAN and
backbone devices to send traps to Avaya Network Management Server,
refer to the User Guide or Device Manager User Guide for the devices in
your network. The Event Manager maintains a log of all traps received
from the devices in the network. These traps can be viewed in the Event
Log Browser.
Figure 1-3. Event Handling Flow
Traps are categorized by their severity. Some traps report events that are
not problems. An example of this type of trap is the insertion of a
module into a device. These traps have a severity level of Info. Other
traps require more attention, such as the loss of a regular port’s
connection. Traps of this type have a severity level of Warning. Finally,
there are traps, such as the failure of a backbone link, which require
immediate attention. These traps have a severity level of Minor, Major,
or Critical.
Avaya Network Mana g em e nt Console User Guide 19
Chapter 1
Figure 1-4. Event Log Browser
The Event Manager displays all of the traps sent by Avaya Network
Management Server. In the Event Manager you can:
• Sort the Event Log Browser by any of its fields.
• Filter the traps displayed and change the severity of selected
traps.
• Acknowledge traps to help you remember which traps you have
already seen.
• Define the format of the description field.
• Delete traps, signifying that the problem causing the trap was
resolved.
In addition, the Event Manager allows you to define event actions.
Event actions can include notification via a pop-up, audible, or e-mail
message or the running of a script. Actions can be assigned to any
network events. You can also limit the action to events from specified
sources. This feature enables you to receive immediate notification of
important network events.
The Event Manager can also act as a trap surrogate, forwarding all, or
selected, traps to other devices.
20 Avaya Network Mana gement Console User Guide
What is Remote Access
Avaya Network Management Console can be accessed remotely using a
web browser. This allows you to manage your network from a computer
where Network Management is not installed. When you point your
browser to the Avaya Network Management Server’s IP address, a Java
applet prepares your browser to communicate with Avaya Network
Management Server. A welcome screen appears, followed by a password
screen. Once you enter a valid user name and password, Avaya Network
Management Console opens in a special browser window.
