568 Matrix PRASAR UCS System Manual
Authority Codes
What's this?
Authority Code is a unique password-protected code with an associated Class of Service, Toll Control and Call
Budget, which can be assigned to extension users. With Authority Codes, extension users of the system can make
calls or access features from any other extension of the system as per the Class of Service, Toll Control and other
features / facilities assigned to their code.
This feature is useful when you want a group to extension users to use a single extension, but at the same time you
want to keep an account of the calls made by each user. If required, you can assign a call budget to each Authority
code to control call cost.
To make outgoing calls or access features, extension users must 'Walk-In' from any SIP extension and then dial
their Authority Code and Password.
How it works
An 'Authority Code' is a unique three-digit number, protected by a password. The password can be a minimum of 4
digits and a maximum of upto 10 digits. Valid digits are 0 to 9, * and #.The default Authority Password is 1111. To
be able to use an Authority Code, the password must be changed to another value. To avoid unauthorized access,
we recommend you to change the password regularly. Make sure it is strong and is kept confidential.
The PRASAR UCS supports as many as 999 Authority Codes.
Each Authority Code has an associated Class of Service and Toll Control, which is configured in the Station Basic
Feature Template assigned to the Code.
To make calls using an Authority Code,
User A is assigned 222 as Authority Code and is provided a unique 4-digit Authority Password.
To access features or make calls as per the assigned Authority Code 222, User A must do the following:
• Dial the feature code for Walk-In Class of Service (default 111) from any extension of the system.
• Dial the code for Walk-In by Authority followed by the Authority Code and then the Authority Password.
To make calls or access features according to the Authority Code dial 111, the feature code for 'Walk-In
Class of Service' from any extension of the system.
• Select the option ‘Walk in by Authority Code’ or dial ‘2’.
• A dials the Authority Code assigned to him/her followed by the Password.
If the user enters a wrong password, to prevent any attempt to misuse the Authority Code, by default, the
system allows the user only three attempts to re-enter the password. If the user fails to enter the correct
password at the third attempt, the system will set the password to default, 1111. With the default password
the user will not be able to use the Authority Code.
