Authorization Codes

'Authorization Codes' can be added, edited and deleted by a User within PCR-360, and enable a User to be able to allow privileged individuals to use other stations for phone calls. The Authorization Code is able to override normal permissions of the station by it's associated to a 'COR (Class of Restriction)' to define the behavior expected of that station. All Authorization Codes are expected to be numeric values and the length is configured in the switch.

The Call Manager can be selected using the 'Select AES' button on the Authorization Code grid.

Class of Restriction (COR)

The COR grid contains a list of all CORs stored by the Call Manager. Only the description is stored within PCR-360, everything else is queried from the Call Manager which means  CORs can not be 'Added' or 'Deleted', only 'Updated'.  From the grid, the Call Manager can be selected using the 'Select AES'  button.

CORs act as blocks on a phone's capabilities to make calls.  Types of things that could be manipulated by a COR include 'Calling Restrictions', 'Automatic Callback' and 'Disallowed List Assignment'. CORs allow for a more personalized level of control of individual phone stations permissions.
