Configurable Security - Nortel RLC Installation And Administration Manual

June 2005
Changing the online/offline mode
You can put the remote site into online or offline mode at any time. Simply dial
one of two special prefix (SPRE) codes at any remote site telephone set.
Configure the online SPRE and offline SPRE codes through Configuration
Manager. These codes must not conflict with the dialing plans used at the host
PBX. Refer to "9150 System Configuration" in the Remote Gateway 9150
Installation and Administration Guide (NTP 555-8421-215), for information on
configuring SPRE codes.

Configurable security

Security settings apply to the RLC on a remote unit basis. Enter this information
through Configuration Manager. Refer to "Remote connection configuration" on
page 197.
The RLC offers three levels of security. For a detailed description of the RLC's
variable the security levels, refer to "Multiple security levels" on page 21.
Data network security
The RLC does not provide for data network security. To provide security on the
data network, implement security on the data network devices.
System security
Two layers of security protect the RLC and its remote sites:
Local password
You must enter the local password when starting Configuration Manager
software. If the person attempting to use Configuration Manager does not
have the password, the Remote Gateway 9100 Series system blocks that
person from accessing any Remote Gateway 9100 Series nodes.
Node password
Users must enter the node password before Configuration Manager
displays the configuration of the logged-on node and allows modification
of that configuration.
ATTENTION!
RLC Installation and Administration Guide
Nortel recommends that users retain the factory-set
password until the system is up and running smoothly.
