Security devices
Avaya provides the following security devices:
• Access Security Gateway (ASG)
The Access Security Gateway (ASG) is a built-in authentication feature that
offers a more secure alternative to static login passwords for remote access to
Avaya IP600. Using an encryption algorithm, the Access Security Gateway uses
session-based challenge and response technology to limit access to the Avaya
IP600 system’s remote maintenance and administration port, system
administration terminal, and NET CON channels. See
Installation and Upgrades
for DEFINITY ONE Communications System Release 9 and Avaya IP600 Internet
Protocol Communications Server
(555-233-109) for information on how to
administer this feature.
• Remote Port Security Device
The Remote Port Security Device (RPSD) is a single-line dial-up port protection
system that prevents unauthorized access to a host resource. Host resource dial-up
ports are protected by the installation of the RPSD lock on the analog telephone
line leading to the port. Access is provided only when the calling party uses the
RPSD key, a unit that is installed on the analog telephone line at the calling
party’s end.
The RPSD works with all data communications protocols and can be used in the
following applications:
~ Protecting organizations with remote and home offices that communicate over
the public telephone network via dial-up lines
~ Safeguarding companies that administer their communication and voice
processing systems remotely from a centralized site, helping to ensure that
critical network routing information, traffic data, and PBX feature translations
are not compromised
~ Controlling dial-up access by a supplier that provides remote maintenance
services ensuring that only the service provider has access to the maintenance
ports.
