Considerations
•
From remote locations users typically access authorization from touch-tone stations. However
they can also do so from rotary dialing stations at specified authorization-code-forced locations
that follow appropriate trunk administration practices. Rotary station users access attendants via
Listed Directory Numbers (LDN) or remote access numbers and can experience a 10-second
timeout.
•
The use of Authorization Codes does not limit other call-control methods such as Toll Restriction,
Miscellaneous Trunk Restriction, and Outward Restriction.
•
For security reasons, do not assign authorization codes in sequential order. Assign random
number barrier codes and authorization codes to users so if a hacker deciphers one code, it will
not lead to the next code.
•
If timeout to attendant does not occur or CACR digit codes are dialed instead of authorization
codes, the system assumes that invalid authorization codes were dialed and the caller is given
intercept tones.
•
Authorization codes impact calling privileges by:
— Changing an outgoing-call FRL when it is insufficient to access preferred routing patterns
assigned by AAR/ARS. An FRL is assigned to a COR associated with user authorization
codes. No additional COR data is assigned.
— Overriding COR for remote access calls assigned to barrier codes, when required. For
remote-access calls, if an authorization code is required, the user is assigned the COR of
the dialed authorization code, with all connected data, such as the FRL. This COR
overrides the COR assigned to any required barrier code.
•
Incoming trunk calls that require authorization codes do not change user privileges.
Interactions
•
AAR/ARS Partitioning
Partitioned group numbers are assigned by COR and Authorization Codes can change Classes of
Restriction. Therefore, Partitioned Group Numbers can be changed on incoming remote access
calls by authorization codes. For originating calls, user Classes of Restrictions determine
Partitioned Group Numbers.
