System Requirements

The Avaya Communication Interface is not a part of general PCR-360 functionality and requires the purchase of a license. 

Please contact Professional Services to request a license, and confirm your system meets all requirements.

Authorization Codes

Avaya Authorization Code Grid example

'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 located on the Avaya Authorization Code Grid button on the Authorization Code grid.

  2. The item has been removed from the grid.

Class of Restriction (COR)

Avaya COR Grid example

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 located on the Avaya COR Grid 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 allows for a more personalized level of control of individual phone stations permissions.

Edit a COR

In order to update a COR, a User can follow these steps to use PCR-360 to perform the update. This will make the relevant changes for the COR in the switch.

Audit Grid

Avaya Audit Log Grid example

The Avaya 'Audit Log' is the primary reason to utilize the Avaya Switch Interface within PCR-360.  By use of the Audit Logs, a User is able to see what updates were performed when, and who made them.

When numerous records are created, PCR-360 begins an archiving process to store the older records into other tables to improve performance.  To access archived records use the Table Selector field on the grid header.
