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
(timemultiplexed 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)
http://www.avaya.com/support. If you are:
• 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,
reliability and security depending upon network
configurations/design and topologies, even when the product
performs as warranted.

Introduction
This document discusses how to set Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Multipurpose Internet
Mail Extensions (MIME) types for Microsoft IIS and for Apache so that a customer's server has
the capability to handle Wireless Markup Language (WML) pages. MIME specifies data content
type. Servers insert the MIME header at the beginning of a Web transmission. Although this
document only provides information on IIS and Apache web servers, WML pages can be served
on almost every web server. Contact you server provider for additional information on how to
configure your server for WML.
Server Setup
Sections below provide step-by-step instructions for WML set up on IIS and Apache web servers,
respectively.
Configuring Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is a free Web server that can be acquired with the
following operating systems to serve WML pages:
• Microsoft Windows NT 4 – IIS version 4.0 comes in the NT 4.0 option pack.
• Microsoft Windows 2000/server – IIS 5.0 is built in to Windows 2000.
• Microsoft Windows XP – IIS 5.1 is built in to Windows XP.
• Microsoft Windows 2003 – IIS 6.0 is built in to Windows 2003.
IIS has a graphical user interface, the Internet Service Manager, for configuring all aspects of the
Web server.
The following step-by-step guide can be used to set up MIME types:
1. Start the Microsoft Management Console (Start => Run =>MMC) and load the IIS snap-
in from the c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\iis directory.
The Internet Services Manager can also be opened from Start => Control Panel =>
Administrative Tools => ‘Internet Information Services Manager’ or ‘Internet
Information Services’ depending on the version and Windows Operating System.
2. Right click on the node that matches the name of your web server (by default: ‘Default
Web Site’) and choose the Properties option.

3. Click on the edit button next to the master properties drop down box.
4. Select the HTTP Headers tab, and click on the file type button. This will load the
registered file types dialog.
5. Click on the new type button and create a new file type using the below parameters (Refer
to figure 1 below). Repeat the procedure for each associated extension:
1. File Type 1:
• Associated extension: wml
• Content type: text/vnd.wap.wml
2. File Type 2:
• Associated extension: wbmp
• Content type: image/vnd.wap.wbmp
6. Click OK to close all of the open dialogs, and then close MMC or Internet Services
Manager itself.
7. Restart ‘IIS Admin Service’ from the ‘Services’. (Click Start program, Administrative Tools,
and click on the Services application) so that the newly added MIME types are picked up.

Configuring Apache Web-server
Apache is an open-source Web server that’s available on many platforms, including Linux and
Windows. Basic familiarity with UNIX is necessary to configure it.

published.Pleasedownloadthisrelease.OlderreleasesofApachewouldalsowork
astheWML
The following is a step-by-step guide for configuring Apache Web-server:
1. To set MIME types in Apache, a plain text file called httpd.conf is used. The location for
server.
this file varies depending on the individual setup, but the most usual path is
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf – this is the default location if Linux is installed via the RPM
method. If the operating system is Windows, then look for a folder called conf under where
Apache is installed.
2. Open httpd.conf in a text editor such as Notepad.
3. Scroll down to the AddType section (usually at the bottom of the file) and add the
following lines:
• AddType text/vnd.wap.wml wml
• AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp
4. Save the file.
5. Restart Apache so that it recognizes the newly added MIME types.
