2.8 Phone Security

There are a number of methods by which additional security can be implemented to ensure that an IP phone does not
adopt the identity of another.

·

Disable Auto-Create Extension
Following installation, disabling Auto-Create Extn Enabled in the IP Office Manager System | Gatekeeper tab
stops new IP devices from assigning themselves as new extensions.

·

Restrict the IP Address
Entering a value for this field in the extension's VoIP tab will restrict usage to devices configured with that address.

·

Set a User Login Code
If a user Login Code is set, then any other IP device trying to log on as that extension must also enter the correct
login code. If a login code is set, the user can use hot desk to log off and log on elsewhere.
