User Features 1Security 1
The Remote Access feature allows people at remote locations to enter the syst em
by dialing the number of a line or trunk designated for remote access. The system
can be programmed to require the remote user to dial a barrier code (a type of
password) after reaching the system. In earlier versions, the systemwide barrier
code length is fixed at four digits. Release 3.0 allows a systemwide barrier code
length ranging from a minimum of four digits to a maximum of 11 digits, with a
factory setting of seven digits. SMDR records are enhanced to provide
information for remote access calls. If the remote access call is received on a
facility providing Caller ID information (see below), the SMDR report can help
trace the call.
