The Authorization Code feature allows you to pick up someone else’s telephone,
enter your authorization code, and complete a call with the restrictions that apply
to your own telephone (
home extension
). This includes toll restrictions, outward
restriction, Facility Restriction Level (FRL), Allowed Lists, Disallowed Lists,
Forced Account Code Entry, Night Service Exclusion List, and dial access to
pools. All other functions on the telephone are those of the extension you are
using, not your home extension. For Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX
mode only), the Authorization code feature allows you to use your home extension
FRL when placing private network calls.
Each entry of an authorization code provides restriction privileges for a single
phone call. If you put the first call on hold and start to make an outside call, the
Authorization Code button’s green LED goes off. If you wish to make another call,
you must reactivate the Authorization Code feature in order to obtain the
restriction privileges of the home extension. Authorization codes can also be used
for call control and call accounting through the SMDR printout. SMDR may be
