Your Responsibility for Your System’s Security
Toll fraud is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system 
by an unauthorized party, for example, persons other than your com-
pany’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or persons working on your 
company’s behalf. Note that there may be a risk of toll fraud associated 
with your telecommunications system and, if toll fraud occurs, it can 
result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications 
services.
You and your system manager are responsible for the security of your 
system, such as programming and configuring your equipment to pre-
vent unauthorized use. The system manager is also responsible for 
reading all installation, instruction, and system administration docu-
ments provided with this product in order to fully understand the fea-
tures that can introduce risk of toll fraud and the steps that can be taken 
to reduce that risk. Lucent Technologies does not warrant that this 
product is immune from or will prevent unauthorized use of com-
mon-carrier telecommunication services or facilities accessed through 
or connected to it. Lucent Technologies will not be responsible for any 
charges that result from such unauthorized use.
