Because the AMIS Analog Networking
and/or Message Delivery features use the PBX's analog lines to transmit
messages, verify that the class of restriction (COR) assigned to the
local system's voice ports supports outcalling, or these features will
not work. For example, to protect against possible toll fraud, the local
system's voice ports might be restricted from accessing two-way or outgoing
trunk groups. The COR for the messaging system might need to be altered
to allow the AMIS Analog Networking, Message Delivery, and Outcalling
features to work.
If left completely unrestricted, however,
the AMIS Analog Networking and/or Message Delivery features could allow
local messaging users to send messages to any valid telephone number worldwide.
Consequently, the system administrator must use judgment when administering
the AMIS Analog Networking and/or Message Delivery features. For example:
- To minimize exposure to unauthorized long distance
calls, it is recommended that the AMIS Analog Networking and Message Delivery
features be restricted to sending messages to remote machines or telephone
numbers located in specific calling areas or at the specific destinations
needed to conduct business.
- Additionally, the system administrator can use
the Message Sending Restrictions feature to limit the use of the AMIS
Analog Networking and/or Message Delivery features to only those subscribers
who have a need to use them. The Message Sending Restrictions feature
can also be used to limit AMIS Analog Networking and/or Message Delivery
calls to specified remote machines (numbers) or user communities.
This feature can be overridden for specific subscribers if needed.

Customers are responsible for administering their INTUITY AUDIX system
to prevent subscribers from sending unauthorized long distance AMIS
Analog Networking or Message Delivery messages. Remote systems can be
administered so that subscribers can send messages to messaging systems
anywhere in the world, only to specific countries, only to domestic
systems, only to specific domestic area codes, only locally, or only
to specific destinations.
The customer is also responsible for administering
the messaging system and associated passwords to prevent unauthorized
users from accessing subscriber mailboxes and sending unauthorized AMIS
Analog Networking or Message Delivery messages.
