PARTNER Plus Communications System

■ Require the system administrator and all voice mailbox owners to change 
their password from the default.
■ The System Administrator can set the minimum password length to any 
value from 0-15 digits. The default value is six digits. Every subscriber’s 
mailbox password and the system administration password must be at 
least six digits.
NOTE:
A minimum password length of at least six digits is strongly 
recommended. The shorter the minimum password length, the more 
vulnerable your system is to abuse by unauthorized persons. Choose 
the largest acceptable minimum length in order to maximize the 
security of your system.
■ Instruct employees not to make a statement, in their recorded greeting, 
indicating that they will accept collect calls.
■ Have the voice messaging system administrator delete unneeded voice 
mailboxes from the system immediately.
■ The Security Violation Notification feature enables the system 
administrator to choose to be warned about possible mailbox break-in 
attempts. The system administrator can choose from the following options:
— Mailbox Lock — Locks the subscriber’s mailbox and sends a 
warning message to the mailbox owner’s mailbox and the system 
administrator’s mailbox.
— Warning Message — Sends a warning message to the mailbox 
owner’s mailbox and the system administrator’s mailbox (factory 
setting).
— No Security Notification (strongly discouraged).
■ Program the PARTNER Plus Communications System to:
— Block direct access to outgoing lines and force the use of account 
codes and/or authorization codes. 
— Assign toll restrictions to individual’s phones, especially in public 
areas.
— If you do not need to use the Outcalling feature of the PARTNER 
MAIL System, completely restrict the outward calling capability of its 
system ports by using inside calls only.
— If outcalling is required, assign outgoing call restriction local only 
with the appropriate toll call prefix to ports used for outcalling. 
Assign applicable allowed and disallowed number lists to the 
PARTNER MAIL System ports used for outcalling. Two-port 
PARTNER MAIL Systems use port 2 for outcalling. Four-port 
systems use port 4 for outcalling. Six-port systems use ports 5 and 6 
for outcalling. Outward restrict all other ports.
