programmed so that when no account code is entered, either the home extension
number or the authorization code is recorded in the ACCOUNT field. The factory
setting lists the home extension number in the ACCOUNT field.
An authorization code can range from 2 to 11 characters and must be unique
across the system. However, more than one user can use an authorization code
simultaneously. Authorization codes do not have a set, systemwide length.
Through system programming, the system manager can assign one authorization
code for each extension. One Authorization Code button can be programmed on
any MLX or analog multiline telephone (except QCCs). A button with an LED is
recommended.
If a user does not have a physical telephone, a phantom extension may be
programmed as a home extension to allow the user to use restricted telephones
and for call control and accounting purposes.
The Authorization Code feature can be activated by modems, fax machines, and
other devices that can dial or enter


and then the authorization code followed
by a
.
In Release 6.0 and later systems, forwarding features, including Centrex Transfer
via Remote Call Forwarding but excluding Follow Me, can be activated or
deactivated at a telephone on the system by entering the authorization code for
the extension in the same system from which calls are to be forwarded. This is
useful for changing forwarding operations at phantom extensions and at single-
line telephone extensions when a Pause is needed in the dialing sequence. (You
cannot enter a Pause at a single-line telephone.) The user enters the
authorization code, then activates or deactivates the forwarding feature in the
normal fashion. The activation or deactivation sequence must be completed within
15 seconds of entering the authorization code. Otherwise, it is necessary to start
over. No other feature can be used by entering an authorization code in this
fashion.
