The default settings on the Unity card support a fast installation and start-up to get basic communication
services up and running quickly. Proper security of critical infrastructure equipment requires proper
configuration of ALL communication services. This section summarizes the settings to examine to reduce
the risk of unauthorized access to critical infrastructure equipment through a Unity card.
Table 2.1 on the facing page, provides a list of items to review. Each should be reviewed, configured
based on the operational needs for managing the equipment, and verified that the settings support the
desired operational functionality without adding unnecessary or unauthorized access to critical
infrastructure equipment. A reference to the proper section in this document is provided for configuring
each item.
