4. Click on the user group for the user who is to execute the “Switch authorisation”
feature. Activate the Switch authorisation option. Confirm with Apply.
5. Open the Telephony: Extended: Companies menu page. Click on the header of
the company desired (default: “Company 1”).
6. Under the Switch authorisation header, select the User group temporarily active
due to switching (e. g. “Guest external seizure”). Activate the Notify at end of call
option as desired. Confirm with Apply.
Devices to be switched (“guest telephones”) are generally configured in a user group
without external authorisation. If desired, you can decline to assign these terminals to
a user. In this case, the “Guests” user group is automatically assigned.
Implementation
A hotel guest would like to make an external call. You fulfil this wish with the following
steps:
1. Call the main menu on your system terminal. Select the 6 Connections: 6 Switch
auth. option. Enter the internal call number of the terminal where a temporary
authorisation switch is to take place. Confirm with the OK key. Select the On
option and confirm with the OK key.
If the terminal to be switched is currently in the call state, the authorisation switch
only takes place once the call is finished.
2. The next outgoing call on the switched terminal then is made with the changed
authorisations. If, e. g. the Immediate External line seizure option was activated
to do so, the external dialling tone is audible and an external call can be made
without entering a code.
If the next outgoing call is not made within 60 seconds, the authorisation switch
expires automatically.
At the end of the call – when configured in this way – you receive a brief message
regarding the call duration and the relevant charges incurred.
