Remote Administration
and Maintenance
The Remote Administration and Maintenance feature of your telecommunications
system, if you choose to use it, permits users to change the system features and
capabilities from a remote location.
The Remote Administration and Maintenance feature, through proper
administration, can help you reduce the risk of unauthorized persons gaining
access to the network. However, telephone numbers and access codes can be
compromised when overheard in a public location, are lost through theft of a
wallet or purse containing access information, or through carelessness (for
example, 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, evaluate and administer the various restriction levels, and
protect and carefully distribute access codes.
Under applicable tariffs, you will be responsible for payment of toll charges.
AT&T cannot be responsible for such charges and will not make any allowance
or give any credit resulting from unauthorized access.
