Forced Authorization
With the Forced Authorization feature, the system will prompt you to
enter a personal identification number (PIN) to 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 communications
server uses to connect you with a trunk (outside line).
To call an
outside number
when a PIN is
required
➩Get a dial tone.
➩Dial 9 and the outside number.
Listen for the confirmation tone, followed
by the external dial tone.
➩Dial your PIN.
You will hear the confirmation tone.
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 7-16.
