Security of Your System: Preventing Toll Fraud

As a customer of a new telephone system, you should be aware that there is an increasing problem of telephone toll fraud. Telephone toll fraud can occur in many forms, despite the numerous efforts of telephone companies and telephone equipment manufacturers to control it. Some individuals use electronic devices to prevent or falsify records of these calls. Others charge calls to someone else’s number by illegally using lost or stolen calling cards, billing innocent parties, clipping on to someone else’s line, or breaking into someone else’s telephone equipment physically or electronically. In certain instances, unauthorized individuals make connections to the telephone network through the use of remote access features.
Common carriers are required by law to collect their tariffed charges. While these charges are fraudulent charges made by persons with criminal intent, applicable tariffs state that the customer of record is responsible for payment of all long-distance or other network charges. Lucent Technologies cannot be responsible for such charges and will not make any allowance or give any credit for charges that result from unauthorized access.
To minimize the risk of unauthorized access to your DEFINITY ECS:
When possible, restrict the off-network capability of off­premises callers, using calling restrictions, Facility Restriction Levels, and Disallowed List capabilities.
When possible, block out-of-hours calling.
Frequently monitor system call detail reports for quicker detection of any unauthorized or abnormal calling patterns.
x
Issue 2 July 1997
Customer Support Information
Limit Outcalling to persons on a need-to-have basis.
The DEFINITY ECS, through proper administration, can help you reduce the risk of unauthorized persons gaining access to the network. However, phone numbers and authorization codes can be compromised when overheard in a public location, lost through theft of a wallet or purse containing access information, or when treated carelessly (writing codes on a piece of paper and improperly discarding them).
Additionally, hackers may use a computer to dial an access code and then publish the information to other hackers. Substantial charges can accumulate quickly. It is your responsibility to take appropriate steps to implement the features properly, to evaluate and administer the various restriction levels, and to protect and carefully distribute access codes.
Under applicable tariffs, you will be responsible for payment of toll charges. Lucent Technologies cannot be responsible for such charges and will not make any allowance or give any credit resulting from unauthorized access.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN is used to determine the number of devices that can be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the line can result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that can be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
Disconnection. You must also notify your local telephone company if and when this equipment is permanently disconnected from the line(s).

Installation and Operational Procedures

This manual contains information about installation and operational procedures.
Repair Instructions. If you experience trouble because your equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that the equipment not be used and that it be disconnected from the network until the problem has been corrected.
