Preventing Toll Fraud
“Toll fraud” is the unauthorized use of your
telecommunications system by an unauthorized
party (for example, a person who is not a
corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or is
not working on your company's behalf). Be
aware that there may be a risk of toll fraud
associated with your system and that, if toll
fraud occurs, it can result in substantial
additional charges for your telecommunications
services.
Avaya Fraud Intervention
If you suspect that you are being victimized by
toll fraud and you need technical assistance or
support, in the United States and Canada, call
the Technical Service Center's Toll Fraud
Intervention Hotline at
1-800-643-2353.

Responsibility for Your Company’s
Telecommunications Security
The final responsibility for securing both this
system and its networked equipment rests with
you - Avaya’s customer system administrator,
your telecommunications peers, and your
managers. Base the fulfillment of your
responsibility on acquired knowledge and
resources from a variety of sources including
but not limited to:
• Installation documents
• System administration documents
• Security documents
• Hardware-/software-based security tools
• Shared information between you and your
peers
• Telecommunications security experts
To prevent intrusions to your
telecommunications equipment, you and your
peers should carefully program and configure:
• Your Avaya-provided telecommunications
systems and their interfaces
• Your Avaya-provided software
applications, as well as their underlying
hardware/software platforms and interfaces
• Any other equipment networked to your
Avaya products.

When on a call you want to record, do the following to begin
recording:

When the system answers, if there is space in your mailbox,
the system confirms that it will begin recording. While the
system is recording, the RAC button flashes green and red.

by pressing the Record-a-Call button. When you resume
recording, the system saves the new recording as a separate
