Preventing Toll Fraud

Toll Fraud is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system by an unauthorized party (for example, a person who is not a
corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or working on your company’s behalf). Be aware that there is a risk of toll fraud associated
with your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications services.
Avaya Fraud Intervention

If you suspect that you are being victimized by toll fraud and you need technical assistance or support, call the Technical Service
Center’s Toll Fraud Intervention Hotline at 1-800-643-2353.
Providing Telecommunications Security

Telecommunications security of voice, data, and/or video communications is the prevention of any type of intrusion to, that is, either
unauthorized or malicious access to or use of, your company’s telecommunications equipment by some party.
Your company’s “telecommunications equipment” includes both this Avaya product and any other voice/data/video equipment that
could be accessed via this Avaya product (that is, “networked equipment”).
An “outside party” is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or working on your company’s behalf. Whereas,
a “malicious party” is anyone, including someone who may be otherwise authorized, who accesses your telecommunications equipment
with either malicious or mischievous intent.
Such intrusions may be either to/through synchronous (time multiplexed and/or circuit-based) or asynchronous (character-, message-,
or packet-based) equipment or interfaces for reasons of:
Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)
Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets, or toll-facility access)
Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)
Mischief (troubling, but apparently innocuous, tampering)
Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration, regardless of motive or intent).
Be aware that there may be a risk of unauthorized or malicious intrusions associated with your system and/or its networked equipment.
Also realize that, if such an intrusion should occur, it could result in a variety of losses to your company, including but not limited to,
human/data privacy, intellectual property, material assets, financial resources, labor costs, and/or legal costs.
Your Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security

The final responsibility for securing both this system and its networked equipment rests with you - an Avaya customer’s system
administrator, your telecommunications peers, and your managers. Base the fulfillment of your responsibility on acquired knowledge
and resources from a variety of sources including but not limited to:
Installation documents
System administration documents
Security documents
Hardware-/software-based security tools
Shared information between you and your peers
Telecommunications security experts
To prevent intrusions to your telecommunications equipment, you and your peers should carefully program and configure your:
Avaya provided telecommunications system and their interfaces
Avaya provided software applications, as well as their underlying hardware/software platforms and interfaces
Any other equipment networked to your Avaya products

power strip.
CAUTION: There are 2 power feeds to the Digital Switch; one for the DS Controller (DSC) which
comes from a power strip in the rear of the cabinet, and the second power feed from one of the UPSs
to the Power Supply located in the top of the cabinet which supplies power to the card cage itself. If
you power down using the power switch on the DSC, the card cage is still powered up. If you are
doing any hardware maintenance on the DSC or card cage which requires powering down the card
cage, use the power switch on the UPS which services the power supply to power the system down. If
you are shutting down via the UPS, make sure the Avaya PDS CPU's file system is shut down correctly
prior to powering off the Digital Switch.

Address on the DSC.”

Loading a Switch Database
This section explains how to load a switch database from floppy onto the DSC once the switch generic
software has been loaded.
The switch database disk you are loading may have been created when a different version of switch
generic was on the DSC. To ensure that the database version matches the switch generic version,
perform the following steps:
1) If not already at the Installation Utilities Menu below, insert Disk 1 of the basic switch
generic software disks into the DSC floppy drive. Reboot the switch through the menu
system. This will cause the switch to boot off of Disk 1 and bring up the following menu:

3) Disk Utilities
7) Set System Clock
Enter Selection:
2) Select 3, “Disk Utilities”, and press Enter.
DISK UTILITIES MENU
1) Show Directory
2) Copy Files
3) Delete Files
4) Rename Files
5) Show Freespace on Disk
6) Format Disk
7) Create Directory
8) Delete Directory
9) Store (Back-Up) Database
10) Retrieve Database
11) Exit Disk Utilities
Enter Selection:
3) Type 10, then insert the Switch Database disk into the floppy drive.

Enter Source Directory:
4) Type a: and press Enter.
Restoring database to C:/DBASE from a:/*.TBL
5) When the database is finished loading, you will be returned to the Disk Utilities Menu.
Select 11 to Exit Disk Utilities and return to the Installation Utilities Menu.

3) Disk Utilities
7) Set System Clock
Enter Selection:
6) Select 6, Database Conversion. This utility will match the Switch Database file structure
with the version of switch generic now loaded on the Switch Hard Drive.
NOTE: This step is NECESSARY for avoiding corruption of the Switch Database file
structure, and causing data fields to be mismatched and incorrect.
Converting the Database to run with Digital Switch release 4.5.x.

The database will not be compatible with older releases.
Continue with database conversion (Y/N) = [Y]? Press Enter.
Enter database directory path [C:/dbase/]: Press Enter.

7) The “Database Conversion” utility will automatically update the database version now
stored on the Hard Drive to match the switch generic version. Note: The database
version ON THE BACKUP DISK stays the older database version. You will need to
make a NEW switch backup to have a compatible backup disk. See Step 9.
8) Press Enter. This step will exit back to the main Installation Utilities menu. Select 9 to
terminate installation and allow the switch to reboot.
9) Make a new Switch Database backup once the system has rebooted. This will ensure that
you have a Database backup disk compatible with the switch version currently on the
Switch Hard Drive.

Editing the Internet Address Information
Edit the Internet Address information using the Switch Menu system.
1) From the Main Menu, select B, System Configuration Menu. Then select I, Network
Configuration.

2) Move the cursor to the “Internet Address Configured:” field. Enter the new Ethernet
address for the Digital Switch. You may also change the Ethernet address configured for
cpu1 from this screen. Once all changes have been made, press Enter.
3) You will need to reboot the switch for the address changes to take effect.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The IP address information contained on this screen is NOT included in the switch backup.
This information is stored in NVRAM on the MVME147 card or ENBC processor. Any time
the MVME147 card is replaced, this information will need to be reconfigured through the
switch menu screen above.
(The addresses used above are for example only. You will need to obtain the actual addresses for your

20) If required, Press [CTRL-F] (SCREEN FORWARD) to locate the starting

position for the card you wish to add. In this example, we want to add the first 6
ports of the new card in 1-1-6 to the new resource group 11. We would identify
position 1 as the starting position for that card in the Resource Group.
21) The cursor is in the position after A/D/C. Type the following sequence to add a
port to the resource group:
A [CTRL-N] (Position #) [CTRL-N] (Rack #) [CTRL-N] (Level #) [CTRL-N] (Slot #)

T1 Line Equalization - Dip Switch Settings
The T1 Interface Card provides equalization circuitry to balance its transmit stream according to the length of
cable being driven in the span. The length of the span is the cable distance between the Digital Switch and
the nearest CSU, or between the Digital Switch and the PBX where the T1 is terminated. Determine the
distance of the cable in the span. Determine the gauge of wire being used in the span (usually on the
sheath of the cable itself).
On the T1 Interface Card, locate the S1 Dip Switches, a set of 10 switches and the only dip switches on the
T1 Interface Card. The S1 dip switches come from the factory preset for 0 to 150 ft. of 22 GA cable. Using
the distance and cable gauge information for your site, determine if the dip switch settings must be
changed and set the S1 dip switches as follows:
Span Length: S1-1 S1-2 S1-3 S1-4 S1-5 S1-6 S1-7 S1-8 S1-9 S1-10

Note: To determine gauge of the T1 cable, examine the cable sheath. The gauge of cable (usually 24 or 26
GA) should be stamped on the cable.

T1 Timing Link
The master timing link for the digital switch should always be set to “Incoming” for systems using QT1 or T1
cards. The system will synchronize its internal PCM clock to that of the incoming T1 stream. Failure to set
the Master Timing Link may cause SLIP errors to occur on T1 lines.
Both a primary and a secondary source should be identified for incoming timing. Generally, these should be
the first two outbound T1 span locations. If the primary T1 span goes out of service, the secondary will take
over as the clocking source. If both T1 spans fail, the system will switch over to it's internal PCM clock.
The timing link can changed by using the select key (CTRL-A). Changes will not take effect until ENTER or
<CR> is pressed. Use CTRL-X to exit without change.
The choices for clocking source are:
Incoming - An incoming T1 stream

Internal - The internal clock on the NBC card
External - An external PCM clocking device (NOT USED!)
EXAMPLE:
This is an example of the master timing selection screen found in the maintenance menu of the digital
switch. This system will derive it's clocking source from the QT1 card in slot 13 for both primary and
secondary timing sources.

GUARD AND AUTO-DROP TIMING ARE IN UNITS OF 100 MILLISECONDS.

ALL OTHER TIMING PARAMETERS ARE IN UNITS OF 10 MILLISECONDS.
Used to adjust default timing parameters for: wink detection, wink send, flash detection, flash
send,
minimum time offhook, minimum time onhook, guard time (200 msec is the default for the Quad
T1 set by Summa Four), and auto-drop timing. The default settings should generally NOT be
changed.
FIELD DEFINITIONS
• Wink Detect - Standard is 130 to 350 msec.
• Wink Send - Standard duration of a wink generated by the Digital Switch is 240 msec.
• Hookflash Detect - Not used by current DSI applications.
• Hookflash Send - Standard duration of hookflash generated by the Digital Switch is 500 msec.
Adjust this
field if necessary for your particular site.
• Offhook Minimum - Minimum time port must be offhook for switch to regard the offhook.
• Onhook Minimum - Minimum time port must be onhook for switch to regard the onhook.
• Guard Time - Time allotted between onhook/offhook state to allow port to go idle, default is 200
msec.
• Auto-drop Time - Not used. (When a line is taken offhook and receives no response, the line will be
automatically hung up after the interval specified. A value of zero disables “auto-drop” . )

• Display the trace file created by the system trace utility.
• Useful for tracing errors on the NBC Packet Bus and the Ethernet link
to the HP CPU.
• WARNING!! Never leave the trace on for extended periods of time (i.e.
more than a day or so). The Trace File can quickly grow and use up all remaining disk space
on the switch's hard drive, causing eventual system failure.

• Used to set the switch's Internal PCM timing. (Pulse Code Modulation)
Internal - PCM timing is based on the switch's Internal PCM clock located on the NBC card.
This setting should be used only for systems without T1, E1, or PRI spans.
Incoming - PCM timing is based on the incoming T1, E1 or PRI bit stream. This setting
shouldalways be used for systems using T1 cards. Failure to do so can cause SLIP errors on the
T1 cards.
External - PCM timing is based on an external Clocking device (NOT USED).
• Configure a Primary and Secondary clocking span. If the Primary clocking span should go into
alarm, the timing will automatically shift to the Secondary timing link. If both Primary and
Secondary timing links are in alarm , timing will shift to “Internal.”

Module 7
CPU Information
Avaya
Avaya PDS Digital Switch Module 7: CPU Information
dgswitch.cfg
This file is found in /usr/vl/config and provides the necessary information for the system to place calls and
connect headsets and trunks to each other. If this file is not configured correctly, the system cannot
connect calls to operators. The example entries below are ONLY EXAMPLES. Each digital switch will have
addresses and card locations that differ from these examples. This file must always be configured in
conjunction with each customer's digital switch.
Headset Connections
Headset connections are the first addresses defined in dgswitch.cfg. A headset entry always begins with an
"H", followed by the headset number, then the equipment number , and finally the Rack-level-slot-port
location of the card in the Card Cage.
H:1:296:0::#1-1-13-1-1
H:2:297:0::#1-1-13-1-2
H:3:298:0::#1-1-13-1-3
H:4:299:0::#1-1-13-1-4
H:5:300:0::#1-1-13-1-5
Explanation of first headset entry
H = Identifies this port as a HEADSET

1 = Headset #1. This is the number that is referenced when an operator logs into a job.
296 = Decimal representation of this headset port address on the digital switch. Hex addresses
can
be found using the port/card displays in the Digital Switch Diagnostic menu, and then
must be
converted to decimal.
0 = ISDN Protocol Type, 0= Non-ISDN
#1-1-13-1-1 = Location of headset card and port in digital switch card cage. This is only a comment line
and
is used for reference only.
Normal Outbound/Inbound Trunks
Outbound and inbound trunks are both designated by an "N" in dgswitch.cfg. This is followed by the
equipment number of the trunk port in the next two columns, then the comment line showing the RLSP
location.
N:1:200:0:#1-1-16-1
N:2:201:0:#1-1-16-2
N:3:202:0:#1-1-16-3
N:4:203:0:#1-1-16-4
N:5:204:0:#1-1-16-5
Explanation of first trunk entry
N = Identifies this port as a NORMAL inbound/outbound trunk

1 = Trunk #1

Module 7: CPU Information Avaya PDS Digital Switch
200 = Decimal representation of this Trunk port address on the digital switch. Hex addresses
can be
found using the port/card displays in the Digital Switch Diagnostics menu, and then
converted
to decimal.
#1-1-16-1 = Location of trunk card and port in digital switch card cage. This is only a comment line
and is
used for reference only.

Transfer Trunks
When a customer is not interfaced with a PBX or Centrex lines, they usually do not have the capability to
transfer calls internally or externally. This function can be provided with the use of transfer trunks. These
trunks are in a resource group used only for transfers and are idle when not in use - they cannot be used for
inbound/outbound dialing. Transfer trunks do not require a “porter”.
T:1:12:0::#1-1-17-1
Explanation of Transfer Trunk Entries
T = Identifies this port as a TRANSFER trunk

1 = Transfer Trunk #1
12 = This field should contain the Resource Group number containing the transfer trunks on
the
Digital Switch.
#1-1-17-1 = Location of trunk card and port in digital switch card cage. This is only a comment line
and is
used for reference only.
Re-allocation of ports
Due to the versatility of the digital switch, ports on an individual trunk or line card are often split up to
perform different functions. For example, a T1 card with 24 ports could have 10 inbound lines, 10 outbound
lines, and 4 transfer trunks all on the same card. These various functions must be addressed in
dgswitch.cfg. There are rules governing where these splits can be implemented, as the various functions
may be communicating across different telephone protocols. These decisions should be made well in
advance of the system configuration.

Dial-back Headsets
Dial-back Headsets 2. The file opmon.cfg in /usr/vl/config is referenced for the
resource group info. The switch picks an available port from the
resource group.

prompted with "Enter Keycode". Biff enters the
extension number of his phone.

Avaya PDS Digital Switch Module 8: Testing Tools
INTERNAL TECHNICAL BULLETIN
NUMBER: 0083
REVISED
DATE: August 4,
1998
TOPIC AVAYA PDS
SUBJECT: MONITORING TELEPHONE LINES USING "SWIT" TOOL
-------- SETUP: --------
STEP 1: Dial into AVAYA PDS.

STEP 2: Type cd /tmp
STEP 3: Type swit (return)
Type init switch1:2050
The "swit" tool accesses the communication link between the AVAYA PDS cpu and the Digital Switch.
Once you have initiated the “swit” tool, you will see hexadecimal messages on your screen for each call
being placed and each report from the switch to AVAYA PDS. If your system is actively calling, these
commands can happen very rapidly. When entering your commands, the screen will probably scroll
past your command line. To suppress these reports, type: show tx ok err
This mode will only show your input to the “swit” utility. Use this mode when you
are not interested in reports from the switch to the “swit” utility.
If after Step 3 above you see a message "Connection Refused", then type quit to get the AVAYA PDS
command line again. Check the following:
A. Retype the commands to correct any typing errors.
B. Go to /etc/hosts and verify that the name of the switch is "switch1". If it is something different, then
redo steps 2 and 3 above with the actual switch name you found in the hosts file.
C. If you still cannot get into swit after step B above, you will need to verify that port 2050 has been
configured on the Digital Switch. Log into the Digital Switch. Go to "System Configuration" (B), then
to "Host Configuration" (C). Type Control+F. This moves the cursor to the next page. Is port 2050
configured? If not, the configuration should be:
Interface Ethernet Connect Password _________________ Loc. Port 2050

Module 8: Testing Tools Avaya PDS Digital Switch
Host Name ENET3 Rem.Inst. Addr INADDR_ANY Rem. Port 0

Trace (1/0) 0 Alarm State On
Protocol TCP
Reset Time 2
STEP 4: Once you have successfully entered the swit utility, type ? A help screen which defines all the
available commands on the current version of swit will follow. Verify that the monitor command is
listed The monitor command allows you to hear both sides of the line, i.e. the customer and the agent.
The listen command only allows you to hear the customer side of the line. If you are troubleshooting
problems associated with dialing or wait queue messages, you will not be able to hear what the switch is
outputting if you use the listen command.
STEP 5: Type quit to exit the swit utility and return to the AVAYA PDS command line.
STEP 6: Determine the telephone line to be used to monitor calls. This line should not be on an active
job. Check LINEASSIGN in master.cfg. Are there any line groups which are not currently on a
job? You may need to set up a “test” line group to use for monitoring. If a job attempts to place a call
on the line you are using to monitor, your connection will be lost. This can be frustrating because you
will have to redo the "Monitoring" steps listed below.
STEP 7: Type go config
STEP 8: Type more dgswitch.cfg
Find the entries which show the decimal port addresses for the line you will be using to monitor and the
line you wish to hear. Make a note of both these decimal addresses.
STEP 9: Type more phonefmt.cfg
Determine the dialing pattern which will be used to place a long distance call to yourself from this site,
i.e. 9#, 9-1-#, 425#, etc.
-------- MONITORING: --------
The next step is to call yourself using driver. If you have access to a DID telephone number, simply
call that number. Otherwise, call 425-558-8008, then insert pauses and your extension. Use the call
command as shown below.
STEP 10: Program the call command on a button on your PC as shown in the example below:

call 1 9-14255588008-----1--2766
Program your function key to use the correct dialing pattern as determined in step 9 above. Enter your
own extension following the pauses.
STEP 11: Type driver n (n=the number of the vacant line used to monitor)
Type offhook and wait for a response of [0].
Enter the call command using the button on your PC that you programmed in Step 10 above. Press
the Enter key. If the command functions correctly, your telephone should ring. Answer the phone in
your customary manner.
STEP 12: After you have established an audio connection to your telephone, type end to exit driver.
DO NOT HANG UP YOUR PHONE!!
STEP 13: Type cd /tmp (if you are not already in this directory)

Type switch1:2050 (or equivalent) to enter the swit utility.
STEP 15: Verify that you have a good connection on your telephone by typing:
listen %xxx 4c4 (return)
where "xxx" is the decimal address of the line you are using to perform the monitoring, i.e. the line you
have used to call yourself. "4c4" is the hexadecimal address for a tone on the digital switch. Once you
hit the return key and you see that swit has processed your command, you should hear a tone on your
telephone if you have a good audio connection to the digital switch. If you do not hear the tone, you will
need to hang up your telephone and repeat steps 11-15. You can use this test to verify your audio
connection at any time during the monitoring proess.
STEP 16: Type listen %xxx 4c0 (return)
"4c0" is the hexadecimal address of "quiet" on the digital switch. Once this command is processed by
the swit utility, you should hear silence. Before you can begin monitoring you will need to use this
command so that you are listening to silence before you connect your monitoring line to the line you wish
to hear.
STEP 17: If you are using the monitor command, type:
monitor %xxx %yyy (return)

where "xxx" is the decimal address of the line used to do the monitoring, i.e. the line which you have
used to call yourself, and "yyy" is the decimal address of the line you are monitoring.
If you are using the listen command, type:
listen %xxx %yyy (return)
where "xxx" and "yyy" are defined the same as under the monitor command.
At this point you have established a bridge between the line you are using to call yourself and the line
you wish to listen to. The agent and the customer cannot hear you-- but you can hear them.
STEP 18: Type quit to exit swit and return to the AVAYA PDS command line. The monitoring
connection you have established will stay intact until you remove it.
(See the section of this Tech. Bulletin, "Ending Your Monitor Session.")
STEP 19: Go to your jobmon screen and monitor what the AVAYA PDS says the line you are
monitoring is doing.
-------- ENDING YOUR MONITOR SESSION: --------
STEP 20: When you wish to stop monitoring a particular line, type:
cd /tmp

Type switch1:2050 (or equivalent)
STEP 22: If you have been using the monitor command, type:
disc %xxx (return)
This breaks the monitor connection and reconnects the line you are monitoring with to 4c0 (silence).
If you have been using the listen command, type:
listen %xxx 4c0 (return)
NOTE: When you have been using the listen command, YOU MUST RECONNECT THE LINE
YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING WITH (i.e. the line you used to call yourself) BACK TO SILENCE
(4C0) TO BREAKDOWN THE MONITORING CONNECTION. IF YOU DON'T, THE

MONITORING CONNECTION REMAINS INTACT AND YOUR AGENTS MAY HEAR

CROSS-CONNECTED CONVERSATIONS.
STEP 23: If you want to change the port you are monitoring, then determine the decimal address of the
new line you wish to hear and return to Step 17 above.
STEP 24: If you are done monitoring the system, after you are sure that you have torn down your
monitoring connection, type quit to return to the AVAYA PDS command line.
STEP 25: Hang up your telephone.
