Feature Descriptions
When an authorization code is required on some, but not all, trunk groups, the system prompts for an authorization code when the originating FRL is not adequate to access the next available trunk group in the routing pattern.
When a remote access caller dials the assigned remote access number and establishes a connection to the system, the system may request the caller to dial an authorization code and/or a barrier code. The authorization code defines the caller’s calling privileges within the system.
If entry of an authorization code is required, it applies to all remote access trunk groups in the system. If a remote access user must dial an authorization code to gain access to the system facilities, an authorization code is not requested again even if the user places a call that routes through ARS.
For security reasons, Authorization codes must be assigned randomly. This also makes it difficult for one user to guess the authorization code assigned to another user.
User Operation
When an authorization code is required, users are prompted to enter the autho- rization code after they dial the called number. Users receive a second dial tone and that is when they enter the authorization code.
Administration
