Transfer of Base Units
Before transferring the base unit to another person—for example, if you give it to another small business owner or recycle
it—you may want to permanently delete all information using the Erase Data program ("ResponsePointEraseData.exe")
that comes on the installation CD.

Security Considerations

Security Considerations
Security and privacy are related topics. Privacy Considerations discusses the handling of users' personal information.
This topic focuses on the issues involved securing your phone system.
While Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) brings the power of the Internet to phone services, it also introduces some
security issues. Unless your LAN is secure, employees or callers could change phone settings, listen to others' voice
messages, and even access the public address system, if you have one.
Consider the following issues in creating a secure phone system:
Change Default Passwords
The first step toward securing Response Point is to change the default password of the base unit. The default base unit
password is admin, which you use from Administrator to connect to the base unit.
Also, encourage your employees to change their passwords using Assistant. An employee is typically assigned to
one extension number password, which is used to log on Assistant and to retrieve voicemail messages. The default
extension number password is 9999.
