8.1.2 Plug-and-Play Security
Allworx handset plug and play installation provides a convenient method for adding phones to the Allworx
server. However, this feature permits unauthorized users to add phones to the server without the knowledge
of the System Administrator. The Allworx System provides security by permitting the System Administrator to
disable plug and play installation of handsets.
The following options are available on the Servers / VoIP page:
Disable Handset Creates via LAN Plug and Play
This option prevents handsets on the Allworx server LAN from installing by plug and play. By default, this
option is unchecked, meaning plug and play is enabled. When checked, phones must be manually added on
the Phone System / Handsets page.
Disable Handset Creates via WAN (Remote Phone) Plug and Play
This option prevents handsets on the Allworx server WAN (i.e. remote handsets) from installing by plug and
play. Installation is prevented, even if the remote handset is programmed with the server’s plug and play
secret key. By default, this option is unchecked, meaning plug and play is enabled. When checked, phones
must be manually added on the Phone System / Handsets page.
