Using Class Of Service (Cos) Passwords; Changing Your Class Of Service - Nortel ICS 7.1 Coordinator Manual

Using Class of Service (COS) passwords / 235

Using Class of Service (COS) passwords
Class of Service passwords permit controlled access to system
resources both by internal and remote users. When you enter a
Class of Service password at a telephone, the restriction filters
associated with your Class of Service password apply, rather
than the normal restriction filters. Similarly, when a remote
user enters a Class of Service password on an incoming auto-
answer line, the restriction filters and remote package
associated with their Class of Service password apply, rather
than the normal restriction filters and remote package. COS
passwords are programmed by either your customer service
representative or installer.
Users should memorize their COS passwords instead of
writing them down. Typically, each user has a separate
password. Several users can share a password or one user can
have several passwords.
Individual COS passwords should be deleted when an
employee leaves the company. Group COS passwords should
be changed if one of the group members leaves the company.

Changing your Class of Service

You must enter a Class of Service password each time you
want to make a call that is normally restricted on a line or
telephone.
To change the restriction filters on a line or telephone:
1. Press .
2. Enter your six-digit COS password.
COS passwords allow you to define individual passwords and
determine the restriction filters, and remote package
associated with each.
