Description
Discussion Text
Requirement: The IAO will ensure that attendant console ports will not be available to unauthorized users by not allowing any instrument other than the attendant console to connect to the attendant console port.
Additionally the attendant console shall not be able to connect to a regular instrument port. Attendant console ports provide privileged access to switch features not normally provided to the normal subscriber community. This type of access to unauthorized users or subscribers can result in disruption of calls processing, calls monitoring, or unauthorized class of service. Positive control of attendant consoles and ports must be enforced to mitigate these types of vulnerabilities.
