User Features
Security
The Remote Access feature allows people at remote locations to
enter the system by dialing the number of a line or trunk designated
for remote access. The system can be programmed to require the
remote user to dial a barrier code (a type of password) after
reaching the system. In earlier versions, the systemwide barrier
code length is fixed at 4 digits. Release 3.0 allows a systemwide
barrier code length ranging from a minimum of 4 digits to a
maximum of 11 digits, with a factory setting of 7 digits. SMDR
records are enhanced to provide information for remote access
calls. If the remote access call is received on a facility providing
Caller ID information (see below), the SMDR report can help trace
the call.
Caller ID
Caller information (telephone number) is furnished to MLX display
telephones by an 800 GS/LS-ID module using the LS (loop-start)
option. This allows customers to screen calls prior to answering the
phone, as well as providing calling party information for use with
various applications. This function is available only when the
customer subscribes to caller identification service from the local
telephone company, if the telephone company supports that
service.
Shared System Access (SSA)
A telephone may have up to 27 Shared SA buttons to expand
extension coverage.
Authorization Codes
The Authorization Code feature allows you to make calls using your
calling privileges when you are dialing from an extension other than
your own. When you enter your authorization code (ranging from 2
to 11 characters and unique across the system), the privileges and
restrictions assigned to your home extension override the current
restrictions at the host extension. This includes toll restriction,
outward restriction, Facility Restriction Level (FRL), Allowed Lists,
Disallowed Lists, Night Service Exclusion List, and Dial Access to
Pools. All other functions on the telephone are those of the local
telephone, not the home extension.
Authorization codes can also be used for the purposes of call
accounting through the SMDR printout. The SMDR account code
field can hold the authorization code extension number or the
authorization code itself.
Direct Voice Mail
If your company has voice mail, this feature allows you to dial a co-
worker's voice mailbox directly without ringing that person's
extension. Direct Voice Mail is especially useful for transferring
calls when a co-worker is not available.
