Choosing Passwords
Passwords should be as many digits as possible, and should not be obvious. Avoid those with
ascending digits (e.g., 1234), the same digits (e.g., 0000), digits corresponding to the
employee’s name (e.g., 5646 for John), the current year (e.g., 1993), the same number as
extension (e.g., extension 3455, password 3455), reverse extension (e.g., extension 3455,
password 5543), numbers that identify the user (e.g., social security, employee ID, room
number, etc.)
Establishing a Policy
As a safeguard against toll fraud, change passwords frequently. Set password expiration times
and tell users when the changes go into effect. Changing passwords routinely on a specific
date (such as the first of the month), helps users to remember to do so.
2. The AUDIX Voice Power administrator should remove unneeded voice mailboxes from the
system immediately.
3. Set up AUDIX Voice Power to limit transfers to subscribers only.
4. Program the System 25 to:
● Block direct access to outgoing lines and force the use of account codes.
● Disallow trunk-to-trunk transfer unless it is required.
● Assign toll restriction levels to AUDIX Voice Power ports.
● If you do not need to use the Outcalling feature of AUDIX Voice Power, completely
restrict the outward calling capability of the AUDIX Voice Power ports.
5. Monitor SMDR reports and/or Call Accounting System reports for outgoing calls that might be
originated by AUDIX Voice Power ports.
