Setting Passwords

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) brings the power of the Internet to phone services. Unless your LAN is secure,
however, phone users or callers could change phone settings, listen to others' voicemail, and even access the public
address system if you have one. Setting passwords is an important action to take to secure your Microsoft Response

Point phone system.

Base Unit Password (Administrator)
To help protect your phone system, immediately change the base unit password when you set up Response Point. In
Administrator, a message will prompt you to change the default base unit password—"admin"—to a unique password.
Choose a strong password that you will remember.
Logon and Voicemail Passwords (Assistant)
Employees also have a password for logging on and accessing their voicemail messages left at their extension number.
If they have more than one extension number, because they are identified as another type of user, they will have a
different password for each extension number. For example, an employee might log on as "Diane Margheim" at extension
101, or as "Sales" at extension 201. In this case, Diane will have a unique password for "extension 101" and "extension
201."
The default password for extension numbers, set in Assistant, is 9999. As phone system administrator, you can reset
the password to this default when necessary. Otherwise, it's a good idea to encourage employees to change their
passwords regularly.
