To prevent users from changing another user's telephone administration, you can enable the system-wide option that requires users to enter a station security code before they can administer their telephone.
To enable this option:
  1. Set the Station Security Code for Terminal Self-Administration Required on the Security-Related System Parameters screen to y.
  2. If you enable this option, the user is prompted for the station security code when they press the Admin button. The user must enter the security code, followed by the pound (#) button or the Done softkey.
Users use Terminal self-administration (TSA) to administer some of their own feature buttons from their telephones. TSA is available for 6400-series, and 4612 and 4624 telephones. Users are prompted, via the telephone’s display, to choose features to assign to buttons on their telephones.
You need to assign a security code to the user’s Station screen for each user you want to enable access to TSA. You also need to assign the user an Admin feature button. For example, to assign a security code of 12345678 to extension 4234, complete the following steps:
  1. Type change station 4234,.
  2. Press Enter.
    STEP RESULT:
    The system displays the Station screen for extension 4234.
  3. In the Security Code field, type 12345678
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    You should assign unique security codes for each user. Once you enter the code and move off the field, the system changes the field to ‘*’ for extra security.
  4. In one of feature button fields, type admin.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    You can assign this button to a feature button or a softkey.
  5. Press Enter to save your changes.
