Station security codes (SSC) provide security to station users by preventing other users from accessing functions associated with a station. Security codes are used with remote activation of Extension to Cellular. With Remote activation, off-premises users can dial in to Communication Manager using a special DID number, that maps to a Remote Access Extension number. Users can then enter the security code, and can use any feature that can be accessed through Feature Access Codes. SAFE requires SSCs. Conditional Call Extending also requires SSC.
However, security codes are not always necessary for Extension to Cellular activation or deactivation.
If the user’s Class of Service provides console permissions, then a SSC is not needed.
Users do not need a security code if the enable/disable Extension to Cellular button is administered on the office telephone.
Enabling/disabling Extension to Cellular through an FNE used on a mapped cell phone does not require a Station Security Code.
As administrator, you can create a system-wide SSC change Feature Access Code (FAC) that users can invoke to change their desk phone’s SSC. You must also administer and provide specific SSCs to users. A user cannot change a blank SSC. An SSC can be administered for an AWOH station.
With the Extension to Cellular feature, users can enable or disable all mapped extensions at one time, using the Station Security Code for the office telephone.
