Security Certificates
In the first instance of logging on to Administrator and connecting to a DOS-
A50, a security relationship between the DOS-A50 and the computer running
Administrator must be established.
After establishing that security relationship, the DOS-A50 copies a certificate (a
digital document) to the computer running Administrator. Once the two have the
same certificate information, the computer automatically trusts that the DOS-
A50 is legitimate.
Security certificates are put on the DOS-A50 when manufactured and have a
15-year expiration date. Contact the manufacturer’s customer support service if
the expiration date is imminent.
Occasionally, at log on, a security error may display, denying connection to a
DOS-A50. This can occur if the certificate exchange has been corrupted, for
example. In this case, try connecting again, or restart the DOS-A50 so that the
certificate can be reinitialized. If the error reoccurs, a program or other device
on the LAN might be trying to fool or intercept DOS-A50 data. An explanatory
message is displayed when these conditions occur.
Security of Backups
Phone system data is not encrypted when a backup is created. Therefore, it is
recommended that the Syspine Phone System administrator store backups on
a removable hard drive, which can be disconnected from the LAN.
