RPSD System
The RPSD system provides security and control for virtually any type of dial-up
port on any host resource, regardless of the type of modem associated with the
host’s dial-up ports. This document specifically targets Lucent Technologies
Business Communications Systems customers and users of the communications
systems listed below and supporting peripheral products; therefore, most
references in this document are specific to Business Communications Systems.
However, other applications of the RPSD system are possible.
Lucent Technologies supports RPSD use on the following types of
communications systems:
■
System 75 (R1V2, R1V3)
■
System 85 (R1V1, R1V2, R2V1, R2V2, R2V3, R2V4)
■
DEFINITY® Enterprise Communications Server (ECS) (all models)
■
DIMENSION
■
Other communications systems with dial-up ports
■
All voice-mail systems
■
Any product that supports analog tip-and-ring capability.
With the RPSD Lock and Key system you can set the time of day that access to a
port is permitted, or you can block any or all access to the line by users of RPSD
Keys. In addition, a system activity log provides a real-time record of access
attempts and their outcomes. Session summaries track statistics on all
successful and failed attempts, providing convenient MIS data resources.
As shown in
Figure 1-1
, the RPSD Lock is approximately the size of a modem
and is connected between the communications system modem and the central
office line. The RPSD Key is of similar size and is connected between the caller’s
modem and central office line.
NOTE:
In Figure 1-1, the term “Lucent Technologies Remote Operations” refers to
Technical Services Center remote administration and maintenance
operations, Bell Labs Field Support, and other entities.
