Authority code?

This command is used to state whether the extension has access to the facility “authorisation” (authority) code.

The authorisation code facility is used to reduce or increase the possibilities to call from a telephone.

It consists of the following functions:

- Activation (“Locking” the telephone)
- Deactivation (“Opening” the telephone)
- Temporary deactivation (Temporary opening)
- Temporary deactivation from another telephone (Use of own categories for itinerant call from another telephone.)
- Change of authorisation code

Extension procedures are used to call these functions. For all functions except activation it is necessary to state an authorisation code. See “Directions for Use” for extensions for more information.

When an extension is assigned this facility, i.e. when the value N is altered to Y, the extension will automatically receive authorisation code 0000. The extension user should, without delay, alter the code to a secret value.

On activation commands 2019-2022 Abbreviated number COS at authority code determine the extension's possibilities to initiate calls.

On temporary deactivation the external number category for the day (command 0103 TCD-day COS) is also used when the PABX is switched for night service.

This command is also used to control access to the DISA system.

The default password (#*72*) has to be changed prior to get access to the DISA system.
