Facility Restriction Level
Facility Restriction Levels are used to limit user calling privileges for incoming and outgoing calls. The Facility Restriction Level determines if a call attempt is permitted and which routes can be used or denied in the routing process. Eight levels of Facility Restriction Levels can be assigned to telephones, computers, and system management tools. Avaya IP600 does not require the Facility Restriction Level to be in an ascending order when administered in the patterns or preferences through system management.
When a call is attempted, the system compares the Facility Restriction Level of the telephone with the Facility Restriction Level of the trunk routes available to complete the call. If the Facility Restriction Level of the telephone is equal to or higher than the Facility Restriction Level of trunks, the call is completed; if it is lower, the call is blocked on that preference and compared to the Facility Restriction Level of the next route available. If the call fails to match the Facility Restriction Level on the available preferences, the call may queue for the first available and compatible trunk group (equal to or higher).
Avaya IP600 also provides a feature called Alternate Facility Restriction Levels that allows the attendant to temporarily change the Facility Restriction Levels on originating facilities to a different set of Facility Restriction Levels. It is used to grant users greater access to trunking facilities than is normally provided, such as when charges are lower during evening hours.
Authorization codes
Authorization codes are used on particular calls to temporarily raise a telephone’s Facility Restriction Level. This feature is useful for those who make calls from telephones other than their own or from outside the network. If a call you dial is blocked because the telephone’s Facility Restriction Level is too low, you can enter your authorization code. If the Facility Restriction Level associated with the authorization code is equal to or higher than the Facility Restriction Level of the trunk facilities required to place the call, the call is then completed. Up to 5000 different authorization codes will be in effect for your system at any one time. Using Avaya IP600’s system management tools, you can assign authorization codes and change their associated Facility Restriction Level and network access permissions.
