Last Updated : Jan 24, 2023 |

Procedure

  1. Enter change system-parameters features and press Enter.
  2. Click Next until you find the Authorization Code Enabled field.
  3. In the Authorization Code Enabled field, enter y.

    This enables the Authorization Codes feature on a system-wide basis.

  4. In the Authorization Code Length field, enter 7.

    This defines the length of the Authorization Codes your users need to enter. To maximize the security of your system, Avaya recommends you make each authorization code the maximum length allowed by the system.

  5. In the Authorization Code Cancellation Symbol field, leave the default of #.

    This is the symbol a caller must dial to cancel the 10-second wait period during which your user can enter an authorization code.

  6. In the Attendant Time Out Flag field, leave the default of n.

    This means a call is not to be routed to the attendant if a caller does not dial an authorization code within 10 seconds or dials an invalid authorization code.

  7. In the Display Authorization Code field, enter n.

    This prevents the authorization code from displaying on telephone sets thus maximizing your security.

  8. Select Enter to save your changes.
  9. Enter change authorization-code nnnn, where nnnn is the authorization code, and press Enter.
  10. In the AC field, enter the authorization code your users must dial.

    In this example, type 4285193. The number of digits entered must agree with the number assigned in the Feature-Related System Parameters screen, Authorization Code Length field.

    Note:

    Remember, all authorization codes used in the system must be the same length.

  11. In the COR field, enter the required Class of Restriction number from 0 through 95.

    In our example, type 1.

  12. Enter change trunk-group n, where n is the assigned trunk group number, and press Enter.
  13. In the Auth Code field, enter y to require callers to enter an authorization code to tandem a call through an AAR or ARS route pattern.

    The code will be required even if the facility restriction level of the incoming trunk group is normally sufficient to send the call out over the route pattern.

  14. Select Enter to save your changes.
