For security purposes, network services not needed on the Avaya IR system should be disabled. If you purchased a complete system (that is, both hardware and software) from Avaya, the appropriate services are turned on or off by default. If you purchased the software-only solution, you can run the disableServices utility to set your network services to the preferred settings for Avaya IR.
For a more thorough discussion of network services, including which ones should be enabled or disabled and why, see the white paper, Avaya™ Interactive Response Security.
However, if you purchased only the Avaya IR software, or if you have other system requirements, you can enable and disable services to meet the requirements of your site. This section explains how to administer these network services.
Note:
Be cautious when enabling or disabling network services. Some are required for Avaya IR software to function properly, while others can adversely affect system performance/behavior and weaken security on your system. For more information, see the white paper, Avaya™ Interactive Response Security.
