Lucent Technologies DEFINITY Extender Switch Module System Administrators Guide

							Introduction
Issue 3   July 1997   1-13
! Security Alert:
Using the Remote Module gains access to the  features of
the DEFINITY ECS, including access to WATS lines, FX
lines, etc., which are subject to toll fraud. Passwords should
be as long as allowed. Passwords should be hard to guess
and therefore should not contain:
nall the same numbers (for example, 88888888)
nsequential characters (for example, 987654321)
ncharacter strings associated with you or with the remote
user or with your business. These include:
— Names
— Birthdays
— Business name
— Telephone number
— Social  security number
nWords and commonly used names
Passwords should use as wide a variety of characters as
possible. Passwords should be changed regularly, at least
on a quarterly basis. Do not recycle old passwords.

How the system administrator programs the passwords into the
DEFINITY Extender Switch Module
Before a Remote Module user can communicate with the Switch
Module, the system administrator must program a password for
each remote user.

Considerations
Consider the following when programming the Switch Module:
nUp to 100 passwords can be programmed into each Switch
Module.
nOnly one Remote Module at a time can be “on-line” with an
individual Switch Module.
nPasswords are retained in non-volatile memory and are not
affected by power outages.
nAll passwords must contain 8 to 10 digits.
nEach password begins with two digits (00–99). The 00
password is reserved for the system administrator and can be
used to change any of the remaining passwords.

Programming the Standalone
Switch Module
The system administrator must program a password for each
Remote Module connected to the Standalone Switch Module. To
do this, you should directly connect a Remote Module to the Switch
Module and program the passwords for all the Remote Modules
that will be connected to this Switch Module.
Connecting the Standalone Switch
Module to the Remote Module
Ideally you should initialize and test the Standalone Switch Module
by dialing out to the Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN) and
back into the DEFINITY ECS to establish a connection. Use
specific, customer-supplied call-in numbers and passwords. If this
is not possible, you must use a direct connection.
Follow these steps to directly connect a Remote Module and
telephone to the Standalone Switch Module you want to program:
1. Turn DIP switch 2 on the back of the Remote and Switch
Modules to the ON position. (This allows the connection of the
modules without a telephone line.)
2. Turn DIP switch 3 on the Remote Module to ON. This enables
the password menus.
3. Connect the Switch Module PORT jack to the 2-wire, 16-port
TN2181 circuit pack on the DEFINITY ECS (see the
DEFINITY® Communications System Generic 3, Installation for
Single-Carrier Cabinets 
manual, document #555-230-894,
comcode #107595423, for complete instructions).

on one of the following telephones:
n8410D
n8410DR
n8434D
NOTE:
The power supply that comes with the DEFINITY Extender
Remote Module cannot produce the power required by the
8434D telephone. An MSP-1 power supply must be used.
n603E Call Master III
n8411D when it becomes available (the analog port will not
function).
5. Connect one end of the line cord supplied with the Remote
Module to the LINE jack on the back of the Standalone Switch
Module and the other end to the LINE jack on the back of the
Remote Module.
6. Connect the AC adapters provided with each module to the
Standalone Switch Module and the Remote Module. Plug each
adapter into a standard 120-vac electrical outlet.

! CAUTION:
Do not plug the A/C adapters into a 240-vac outlet because
you will damage the adapter and the module. You must first
obtain an adapter to convert 240 vac to 120 vac.
7. The display on the telephone initializes and reads:
Logging Into the Standalone Switch
Module
Setting and changing passwords stored in the Switch Module must
be done through the Remote Module. Follow these steps to start
the operation of the Remote Module:
1. At the “Go Online?” screen, press 
2 on the display telephone to
start the operation of the DEFINITY Extender system.
2. At this point, the Remote Module establishes the connection
with the Switch Module. Figure 2-1 shows the sequence of
messages that appear on the telephone display during
connection of the Extender system.

3. At the “Enter Password” screen, enter your system
administrator password, and press the Drop button on the
telephone. A valid password must be entered to allow the
telephone to be connected to the PBX.
NOTE:
If this is the first time you are entering your system
administrator password, the default is “00000000.” All Remote
Module user passwords are disabled as a default.
! Security Alert:
Change your password as soon possible and store the new
password in a secure place.
4. If a valid password has been entered, the Remote Module
completes the connect sequence and the telephone
isoperational. If an invalid password has been entered, you are
prompted to re-enter the password. If after three attempts a
valid password has not been entered, the Remote Module
disconnects and the “Go Online?” prompt is displayed.
Programming Remote User Passwords
Up to 100 passwords can be programmed into the Switch Module.
This allows a number of different users to access the Switch
Module at different times. However, only one Remote Module user
can be connected to an individual Switch Module at any one time. 
						

							Password Programming
2-8   Issue 3   July 1997 The first two digits of each password identify each one of the 100
passwords (00–99). When you assign each remote user a two-digit
user number, this user number becomes the first two digits of the
users password. A user is permitted to change only his or her own
password. If the first two digits of the new password do not
correspond to the user number, the new password is not accepted.
An exception to the above is password “00” which is used by the
system administrator.
NOTE:
If more than one Standalone Switch Module is connected to the
DEFINITY ECS in a hunt group configuration, you should disable
the remote users capability of changing passwords by setting DIP
switch 3 on the back of each Remote Module in the hunt group to
the OFF position. The reason for this action is that if the user
changes a password, the change is stored only in the Standalone
Switch Module to which the user is connected and not in all the
Standalone Switch Modules in the hunt group.
! Security Alert:
All information about changing passwords and DIP switches
should be considered proprietary and should not be given to
Remote Module users.
Passwords are changed by first entering the old password and then
the new password. As the system administrator, you can disable
any password (except password “00”) by changing the password to
a two-digit code (the number of the user whose password is to be
disabled).

! Security Alert:
A correct password permits the remote user access to the
full DEFINITY ECS, including those areas, such as WATS
lines, most liable to toll fraud. Passwords should be as long
as allowed. Passwords should be hard to guess and
therefore should not contain:
nall the same numbers (for example, 88888888)
nsequential characters (for example, 987654321)
ncharacter strings associated with you or with the remote
user or with your business. These include:
— Names
— Birthdays
— Business name
— Telephone number
— Social  security number
nWords and commonly used names
Passwords should use as wide a variety of characters as
possible. Passwords should be changed regularly, at least
on a quarterly basis. Do not recycle old passwords.
