Events and alarms can be securely sent to syslog servers (including the IP Office Primary Server) using the TLS protocol. This can be enabled using the IP Office Manager setting System > System Events > Alarms > Syslog > Protocol.

Both System Status Application and SysMonitor access to IP Office can be secured. See Securing System Status Applicationand Securing SysMonitor.

SNMP should not be used as this is not secure.

• Enabling security on these interfaces will increase the software processing of the IP Office and will be unsuitable for instances where high traffic is expected. In this instance local monitoring via unsecured interfaces or external secure solution are required. See Limiting IP Network Exposure.

Unsecure modems should not be left connected to the serial or analog ports.
