Avaya Enhanced Security IP Phone J179 (TSG Certified)

Avaya J179-TSG

The Avaya Enhanced Security IP Phone J179 addresses the need for  everyday voice communications. It is an 8-line phone ideally suited for  medium/high volume power users such as professionals, knowledge  workers, salespeople, call center who consider the phone to be one  of many useful communication tools and who rely on the full range of  telephony, productivity, collaboration features like directory and speed  dial and so on. 

Government agencies and contractors often need to discuss classified  information in full confidence that telephones will not be overheard or  intercepted. Although required to support today's communications-oriented work environment, the presence of telephones in the office can  present a security risk, as they can be used for audio surveillance even  when they are on-hook due to: 

• Modification or reconfiguration of existing components 

• Installation of a clandestine technical surveillance device 

• Application of externally generated electrical voltages or control  signals onto the telephone line 

• Modification of the telephone equipment or control unit software

Provides enhanced on-hook telephone audio security

Certified by the US Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) as  TSG-6 approved to help defense, intelligence and civilian agencies protect  sensitive information (Both Class A and Class B certification).

It is tested for compliance and approved by the US National  Telecommunications Security Working Group. 

• The TSG Certified IP phone J179 is a modified version that connects to  your network like any other J179. The difference is the addition of Positive  Disconnect On-Hook Security. The phone also allows the on-hook  security features to be engaged while in a call providing “Hold” and “Mute” security.  

• Special positive-disconnect circuitry and ultra-low-emissions technology  ensure that no audio signals from the microphone are produced on any  wires leaving the phone when it is on-hook. 

• When Power over Ethernet is not available, the phone can be plugged  into a local supply that provides filtered operating power via the phone's  barrel connector. 

• Speakerphone functionality is enabled on the device and is protected with  the on-hook security of the positive disconnect electronics but can be  administratively disabled via the Avaya Aura® Communication Manager.
