Note:
In order for ASA to work properly with the ASG Guard II, the Write (ms) field on
Note:
the Advanced tab of the Connection Properties screen must be set to a value
of 5 (i.e., delay of 5 ms). ASG Guard II is an outboard appliance providing access
security for Avaya products that do not have Access Security Gateway (ASG)
software as a native application. For more information on ASG Guard II, contact
your Avaya technical support representative.
Adding a new voice system
When you initially run ASA, you are prompted to create a new entry for the switch
connection if you have not already done so. To set up the desired system, click the New
VOICE SYSTEM icon (on the left of the toolbar row). Complete the Add Voice System
wizard to build the system record. When completed, the record will be available in the
Target System pull-down list.

Logging in with Access Security Gateway

Access Security Gateway (ASG) is an authentication interface used to protect the system
administration and maintenance ports and logins associated with Avaya Communication
Manager. ASG uses a challenge and response protocol to validate the user and reduce
unauthorized access.
You can administer ASG authentication on either a port type or login ID. If you set ASG
authentication for a specific port, it restricts access to that port for all logins. If you set ASG
authentication for a specific login ID, it restricts access to that login, even when the port is not
administered to support ASG.
Authentication is successful only when Avaya Communication Manager and the ASG
communicate with a compatible key. You must maintain consistency between the Access
Security Gateway Key and the secret key assigned to the Communication Manager login. For
more information about ASG, see
Before you can log into the system with ASG authentication, you need an Access Security
Gateway Key, and you need to know your personal identification number (ASG). The Access
Security Gateway Key must be pre-programmed with the same secret key (such as, ASG Key,
ASG Passkey, or ASG Mobile) assigned to the Avaya Communication Manager login.
Verify that the Access Security Gateway (ASG) field on the System-Parameters Customer
Options screen is set to y. If not, contact your Avaya representative.
