SECURITYlALERT:
!
Your Voice Messaging System permits callers to leave verbal messages for
system users or gain access to the backup position in an emergency as well
as to create and distribute voice messages among system users.
The Voice Messaging System, through proper programming, can help you
reduce the risk of unauthorized persons gaining access to the network.
However, phone numbers and passwords can be compromised when they
are overheard in a public location, lost through theft of a wallet or purse
containing access information or through carelessness (writing codes on a
piece of paper and improperly discarding them). Additionally, hackers may
use a computer to dial a password 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 program the various restriction levels, protect and carefully
distribute access codes.
* If the caller does not have a touch-tone phone, the system transfers the call to the system
operator.
† Interacts with Night Service feature to provide special after-hours service, for example,
directing calls to a specific extension. Also, a night announcement can greet callers after
hours. Supports multiple languages.
