Forced Authorization
With the Forced Authorization feature, the system will prompt you to enter a personal identification number (PIN) to temporarily authorize you to call an outside number from a telephone with limited calling capabilities. Forced Authorization remains in effect only until you hang up. When you make another external call, the system will prompt you for your PIN again.
Whether you are required (forced) to enter your PIN to make an external call depends on the class of service of the telephone you are using, the number you have dialed, and the route the CBX uses to con- nect you with a trunk (outside line).

Note
You can also dial your PIN before you dial 9 and the outside number. It will then stay in effect as you dial outside numbers, until you deactivate it.
The steps required to do this are the same as those described for activating and deactivating your PIN in “Remote Authorization” on page
