Digital and analog phones do not support user authentication. Their physical slot defines the TN that is required to register the phone.

UNIStim phone registers by specifying the node ID and TN number. The node ID can be of maximum four digit length. You can configure the node ID in the Node ID attribute on System Manager. In the background, Device Adapter registers the phone as regular SIP endpoint by using the Communication Profile password. The Communication Profile Password is obtained from the System Manager database which has a replica on the Avaya Breeze® platform server. Other SIP stations cannot log in to the same extension until the end user knows the Communication Profile password.

You can protect the Node ID/TN login form with a node pin. You can set the node pin by using the nodePwdEnable/nodePwdSet CLI commands. The node pin can be of 6 to 14 digits length. You can run the command at any Avaya Breeze® platform server. Changes apply to all servers in a cluster immediately. The pin is stored in PPM.

You can use the Protection Mode feature to protect access to Personal Directory on UNIStim phone. The Protection Mode feature is accessible through the Phone menu. The entered password is verified against the Communication Manager Station Security Code. Device Adapter supports password guessing protection when access to Personal Directory is locked for one hour if a user enters a wrong password (Communication Manager Station Security Code) three times. The number of attempts and timestamp of the lock is stored in PPM. Administrators can reset the lock by using the Unlock the user’s SCPW option.

You can also protect Personal Directory for digital M39xx phones with a password. The password is stored in the phone EEPROM. This is a legacy behavior.
