1.6 CDR Files
Call Detail Records are intended for analysis of the VoIPBox’s
activity only. They are not designed to be used for billing pur-
poses, as it may occur that the times they record are not ex-
act.
1.7 Network Security
Every day, hackers develop new ways to break into systems
through the Internet. While TELES takes great care to ensure
the security of its systems, any system with access through
the Internet is only as secure as its user makes it. Therefore,
to avoid unwanted security breaches and resulting system
malfunctions, you must take the following steps to secure
your VoIPBox if you connect it to the Internet:
|
Use the installed firewall.
|
Access to the VoIPBox via GATE Manager must be
password protected. Do not use obvious passwords
(anything from
sesame
to your mother-in-laws maiden
name). Bear in mind: the password that is easiest to
remember is also likely to be easiest to crack.
Inaccuracies in the generation of CDRs may occur for ac-
tive connections if traffic is flowing on the system while
modifications in configuration or routing files are activat-
ed.
