Establishing a Policy

As a safeguard against toll fraud, follow these guidelines for your MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System and voice messaging system:
■
Change passwords frequently (at least quarterly). Changing passwords
routinely on a specific date (such as the first of the month) helps users to
remember to do so.
■
Always use the longest-length password allowed.
■
Establish well-controlled procedures for resetting passwords.
■
Limit the number of invalid attempts to access a voice mailbox to five or
less.
■
Monitor access to the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System dial-up
maintenance port. Change the access password regularly and issue it only
to authorized personnel. Disconnect the maintenance port when not in use.
(This however, eliminates Lucent Technologies’ 24-hour maintenance
surveillance capability and may result in additional maintenance costs.)
■
Create a communications system management policy concerning
employee turnover and include these suggestions:
— Delete all unused voice mailboxes in the voice mail system.
— If a terminated employee had Remote Access calling privileges and
a personal authorization code, remove the authorization code
immediately.
— If barrier codes and/or authorization codes were shared by the
terminated employee, these should be changed immediately.
■
Regularly back up your MERLIN LEGEND Communications System files to
ensure a timely recovery should it be required. Schedule regular, off-site
backups.
■
Keep the Remote Maintenance Device turned off when not in use by
Lucent Technologies or your authorized dealer.
■
Limit transfers to registered subscribers only.
■
Use the Security Violations Notification options (Mailbox Lock or Warning
Message) to alert you of any mailbox break-in attempts. Investigate all
incidents.
■
Review security policies and procedures and keep them up to date.
