Security
There are two areas where unauthorized use may occur with this feature: unauthorized local use and
remote access.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
Unauthorized local use involves unauthorized users who attempt to make calls from a PC.
The PC software has a security setting so users can place the PC in Security Mode when it
is unattended. You also can assign Automatic Security so that the administration program
on the PC is always active and runs in Security Mode. This mode is password-protected.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
Remote access involves remote access to the PC over a data extension. Remote users can
delete or copy PC files with this feature. You can password-protect this feature. See the
Avaya Toll Fraud and Security Handbook for additional steps to secure your system and to
find out about obtaining information regularly about security developments.

Considerations
•
Use the Function Key Module of the 7405D with PC Interface.
•
BRI terminals normally are initializing terminals and require you to assign an SPID. The
PC/ISDN Platform (Group 2), in a stand-alone configuration, is a non-initializing BRI terminal
and does not require you to assign a SPID.
— Set a locally-defined terminal type with General Terminal Administration
— Define the terminal type as a non-initializing terminal that does not support Management
Information Messages (MIM).
— Assign the PC/ISDN Platform with an associated (initializing) ISDN-BRI telephone (such
as an ISDN 7505) using a SPID.
— Assign the station (using a locally-defined terminal type) to take full advantage of the
capabilities of the PC Interface. This terminal type is also non-initializing with no support
of MIMs.
•
Do not use telephones with data modules with the PC Interface. (You can still use 3270 Data
Modules if you also use 3270 emulation). If you attach a DCP data module or ISDN data module
to a telephone that is connected to a PC Interface card, the data module is bypassed (not used). All
the interface functions are performed by the interface card even if a data module is present.
•
The 7404D telephone with messaging cartridge cannot be used with PC Interface. However, the
7404D with PC cartridge can be used, but only with Group 1 configurations.
