Instruction manual

Remote Initialization and Maintenance Service (RIMS)
2. If you have a special telephone line connected to your System 25 for Remote Administration,
do one of the following:
● Unplug the line when it is not being used.
● Install a switch in the line to turn it off when it is not being used.
● Install a security device, such as AT&T’s Remote Port Security Device.
In addition, keep the Remote Administration telephone number secret. Only give it to people
who need to know it, and impress upon them the need to keep it secret. Do not write the
telephone number on the System 25, the connecting equipment, or anywhere else in the
system room.
3. If your Remote Administration feature requires that someone in your office transfer the caller
to the Remote Administration extension, impress upon your employees the importance of
transferring only authorized individuals to the extension.
Interactions
A call to the RIMS port is logged by SMDR.
Administration Requirements
For a RIMS call to be made during initialization, at least one voice station and one trunk must be
translated. A “full-default” cold start can provide these translations.
