## Authorisation Code

## Definition

Authorisation code denotes a personal code that can be used to raise or reduce an extension user's categorisation level.

## Use

Every extension user can be assigned an authorisation code.

An authorisation code can be used in several different cases.

#### Initiating calls from a blocked extension

For using own categories from another extension telephone.

For example if one is at an extension that is blocked for outgoing traffic.

By first keying one's authorisation code one can utilise this extension as if it were one's own extension.

#### Blocking own extension

For blocking one's own extension telephone so that it cannot be used without authorisation for long distance calls.

When, for example, an extension user leaves the office for the day, he/she can prevent other persons from using the telephone by keying in the authorisation code.

#### Cancelling temporary blocking

Used for cancelling temporary blocking, for example when the PBX is switched for night service.

If, for example, someone works overtime and all the extensions in the PBX are automatically blocked during night service, it is possible to make the same types of outgoing calls as during day service by using one's authorisation code.

## Operation

#### All telephones

It is always possible for an extension user to use the authorisation code.

#### To block one's own extension

When extension users leave their telephones they may wish to block it against unauthorized use.

Adopt the following procedure:

* 72 #

A verification tone is heard for confirmation.

#### To cancel blocking of one’s own extension telephone

To cancel an ongoing blocking, proceed as follows:

# 72 * Code #

A verification tone is heard for confirmation and the display goes blank.

#### Temporary cancellation of night blocking

An extension user can temporarily raise the category by keying in the authorisation code, when the system has lowered the category for outgoing calls during night service.

Procedure:

* 72 * Code #

Dial tone is heard for confirmation and the display goes blank.

The user can now make the external call.

#### To make outgoing external calls from a blocked extension

If one wishes to initiate one external call from an extension that is blocked, it is possible to bypass this blocking temporarily by keying in one's authorisation code.

Procedure:

* 72 * Code * Own No. #

The dial tone is heard for confirmation and the display goes blank.

The user can now dial the external number and can make ONE external call regarding the "Own No." extension authorisation.

#### To alter one's authorisation code

When an extension user is assigned an authorisation code, it is set automatically to 0000.

This code can be altered by the owner to another 4-digit code at any time.

Concerning Disa With Password Control (164/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen), it is necessary to change the default authorisation code to a user defined code. DISA neither works with the default nor with the user defined authorisation code with the value 0000.

Procedure:

# * 72 * Present code * New code #

A telephone with display shows the new code as a verification.

Verification tone is heard for confirmation.

## Limitations

When the category level has been raised, it will remain at the higher level until all calls via this extension have been completed.

The facility can also be utilised for inquiry calls.

The function cannot be utilised from analogue rotary dial telephones.
