TransTalk 9000 Digital Wireless
System
The TransTalk 9000 Digital Wireless System is a flexible wireless adjunct for use
with the Communication Manager, MultiVantage™ Software, DEFINITY ECS,
MERLIN LEGEND, PARTNER II, PARTNER Plus, System 25, System 75, and
System 85 communications systems, as well as the MERLIN MAIL Voice
Messaging System. It provides employees up to 500 feet of mobility from the radio
base station, allowing them to make and answer calls when they are away from
their desk.
From a security standpoint, the handset for the TransTalk 9000 Digital Wireless
System, the MDW 9000, has the same vulnerabilities as any desk set. If calling
restrictions are required for the user or location where the handset is placed, the
handset must be restricted at the switch.
In addition, since the MDW 9000 allows freedom of movement, the potential for
employee abuse may be increased with this product. For example, employees
could move to secluded areas, where they would not be seen or overheard, and
make personal calls. For this reason, if restrictions are required, you should
restrict the station ports in the same way as you would a desk set.
Security tips
■ Educate customers about the possibility of employee abuse. Make sure
they understand the potential risks.
■ If your business needs warrant a number of MDW 9000 sets, make sure
you understand each employee’s calling needs. For instance, if your
business does not require that employees make outgoing business calls,
restrict the MDW handset(s) to internal or local calls.
Refer to the applicable section of this guide for information on switch restrictions
to utilize with the TransTalk 9000 Digital Wireless System.
