Mailbox Passcodes
NuPoint Messenger includes security devices to protect your installation at a server level and
mailbox level. A device for use at the mailbox level is mailbox passcodes, which you configure
through the NuPoint Voice application. The following paragraphs outline the configuration of
mailbox passcodes; for more complete information, see the Server Security chapter.
Minimum and Maximum Passcode Length
Minimum and maximum passcode length sets the range for the number of digits a passcode can
be.
Enter the minimum number of digits that constitute a valid passcode for users of this line group.
The minimum passcode length can be any number from 4 through 10. The default value is 4. This
means no user can enter a new passcode shorter than 4 digits. If you want users to have longer
passcodes (for security reasons) then you can specify a larger minimum length.
Enter the maximum number of digits that constitute a valid passcode for users of this line group.
The maximum passcode length can be any number from 4 through 10. The default value is 10.
If you leave the maximum passcode length at the default, 10, then all passcodes can be no
longer than 10 digits. You cannot enter a value greater than 10, and users cannot enter a
passcode longer than 10 digits.
Passcode Trip Count, Passcode Trip Period
These two entries set the parameters for the passcode break-in warning, which is a server
security feature. The default values for the passcode trip count and the passcode trip period are 5
and 24. This means that a warning is issued to a mailbox if someone attempts to enter an
incorrect passcode for that mailbox at least 5 times (the passcode trip count) within a 24 hour
period (the passcode trip period).
The passcode trip count can be set to any value from 0 to 255. The passcode trip period can
range from 0 to 240 hours. In both cases, zero means the passcode break-in warning function is
disabled.
The passcode break-in warning function is enabled when you configure both a trip count and trip
period.
Using the NuPoint Voice Application
This section covers the final steps toward using the NuPoint Voice application.
Activate Changes
After the necessary configuring has been completed, and you have returned to the Main Menu,
the NuPoint Messenger server makes all active configuration online changes effective
immediately.
