CA Server

Client and enables network connectivity with another PBX's CA Client users. Settings for CA Server can
also be managed on any computer on the server's network via a web browser, using the CA Web
Manager client. CA Client Pro and a network activation key is required to enable some features. For more
information about CA Server, contact your dealer.
Note
CA Server is required to use CA Client with KX-TDE Series PBXs. For more information, see 3 System
Requirements.
IMPORTANT
CA Client stores personal information. In order to prevent data theft and leakage, we recommend the
following:
•
Set a password-protected screensaver to activate after your computer has been idle for a set amount
of time.
•
Use Windows Update to keep your system up-to-date with the latest software patches.
•
When users change extensions, desks, etc., make sure that the access rights for their previous and
new extensions are correct.
•
Set a login password that is at least 5 characters long, and contains a combination of letters and
numbers.
•
Periodically change all login passwords to prevent unauthorised access by third parties.
•
When the computer used for CA Client is transferred, disposed of, or taken out of service, ensure all
sensitive data is securely erased.
