Administering PIN Codes

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

Procedure

  1. Enter change system-parameters features.
  2. In the Authorization Code Enabled field, type y.

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

  3. In the Authorization Code Length field, type the authorization code length.

    This defines the length of the Authorization Codes users need to enter. To maximize the security of user’s system, Avaya recommends making each authorization code the maximum length allowed by the system.

  4. 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 user can enter an authorization code.

  5. 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.

  6. In the Display Authorization Code field, type n.

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

  7. Select Enter to save changes.
