TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE
About Access Codes | Making Calls when Prompted for an Access Code |
|
Your TANDBERG system may, or may not, be set up to require Access Codes to be typed in before a call can be made.
Access Codes are used for two things; call restrictions and billing opportunities.
Call restrictions may be applied by install- ing a file of valid access codes that must be entered to permit calls to be made.
This installation is typically made from TMS (TANDBERG Management Suite
– available separately).
Billing opportunities. Assume that an ac- cess code is needed whenever you make a call. Your company may have different access codes for the different clients of your company.
Then, the access code used may be picked up by TMS to generate statistics on who is calling whom, when, and for how long time.
This information may later form the basis for billing clients or departments. Observe that in this case there will be no strict need for installing an Access Code file on your system – TMS will still have access to the codes you have as- signed to the calls. In this case any code entered will be considered valid.
Of course, the two may be combined to form a billing system with call restrictions. This will then become a system that acts as forced billing.
Access Codes can be up to 16 characters long.
The Access Codes feature is activated in the Security Settings menu of the Con- trol Panel. The activation/deactivation of the feature may be password protected by your System Administrator. If in doubt, consult your System Administrator.
