Disabling a Device’s USB Port

Applies to all AudioCodes’ Teams phones.

This functionality complies with the physical security requirements of some customers, specifically, customers who are in the government space.

Customer admins can disable a phone’s USB port with the following parameter available in the phone’s .cfg configuration file:

admin/usb_enabled=1
admin/usb_enabled=0

The parameter can be configured via the AudioCodes One Voice Operations Center (OVOC) Device Manager module used to manage AudioCodes’ Teams phones, as well as via SSH command.

The parameter is also available in the template which can be applied to multiple phones via the Device Manager.

●

After setting the parameter to 0, the phone cannot under any circumstances detect a plugged-in USB device.

Additionally, all USB-related settings are removed from the phone’s user interface.
