The PIN Checking for Private Calls feature restricts users from making private calls (internal or external) by forcing them to enter a Personal Identification Number (PIN) code after dialing PIN Feature Access Code. When the PIN is valid, user can dial the destination digits to make a call. The PIN code used for the call is reported in Call Detail Record (CDR) output with a special character P.
The PIN code access feature works in the following way:
  1. User dials new Feature Access Code (FAC) administered for this feature.
  2. Confirmation tone is played if the FAC dialed by user is valid. On telephone sets supporting displays, user is prompted by message ENTER PIN.
  3. After user dials an Assigned PIN Code and, if the code is accepted, then user gets recall dial tone on the telephone to enter destination digits. ENTER NUMBER message is displayed on telephones that support display.
  4. When the feature is invoked by a display equipped DCP or H.323 IP telephone, a character * is displayed for each digit of the PIN code dialed.
  5. After entering a destination number the private call can be routed.
Note:
This feature is available with Communication Manager Release 5.2 and later only. This feature does not support IP (SIP) telephones at present.
