Lucent Technologies 518-458-100 manual Locking an Extension

System Programming Options

IMPORTANT:

While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones provide more protection than standard phones. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you install system phones where restricting phone use is important.

Locking an Extension

The system offers a Station Lock feature that lets users enter a four-digit code on their telephone dialpad to lock their extensions. This helps prevent other users from making outside calls at those extensions.

Restricting Access to Outside Lines or Pools

A user can access a line or pool either by lifting the handset, pressing the line or pool button on the phone, or dialing the Direct Line Pickup feature code or a pool access code. If you do not want a user to access a specific outside line or pool, you can use Line Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) to control an extension’s access to a certain line or pool (whether the line or pool is assigned to the extension or not). Table 2-1provides examples of settings that can be used to restrict an extension’s access to specific outside lines or pools.
