Remote port security device

The remote port security device (RPSD)

offers enhanced protection for dial-up

data access. Communications systems typically consist of a mix of digital PBXs,

voice mail systems, and adjunct applications computers. Dial-up ports on these

systems provide remote access for maintenance and administration support.

They also provide potential access to the hackers or thieves who use easily

obtainable computers and software to gain unauthorized access to your systems.

NOTE:

Since the RPSD contains a Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm, its

use outside the United States and Canada is prohibited by law.

Once a hacker gains access to your systems, he or she can explore sensitive

information, disrupt voice and data communications, and manipulate software

applications. This access can result in unauthorized use of network facilities and

the theft of long distance services.

While effective system security management can usually stop the hacker, the

Avaya Remote Port Security Device (RPSD) gives you a state-of-the-art single

channel protection system that enhances your ability to prevent unauthorized

users or hackers from accessing your system’s dial-up communications ports.

1. The RPSD is compatible with: DEFINITY ECS, DEFINITY communications systems,

System 75 (V2 or higher), System 85 and DIMENSION PBX Systems; the AUDIX,

DEFINITY AUDIX, and AUDIX Voice Power Systems; and all System Management

products.
