Features and technical reference
555-233-5061832 Issue 5 October 2002
Analog and XMOBILE stations must dial a FAC to activate the feature. The user
hears a special dial tone on subsequent origination attempts from the telephone to
indicate that the lock feature is active.
Digital stations (including DCP, BRI, IP hardphones and softphones) access
Station Lock with a feature button or via a FAC. If a digital station has a Station
Lock button but activates the feature with the FAC, the LED for the button lights
and no special dial tone is provided. However, if a digital station does not have a
Station Lock button and activates the feature with the FAC, a special dial tone is
provided.
A station can be locked or unlocked from any other station if the FAC is used and
the Station Security Code is known. The attendant console can never be locked
but can be used to lock or unlock other stations. A station also can be locked or
unlocked via a remote access trunk.
Interactions
■ Attendant Console
Station Lock cannot be used for attendant consoles but it can be assigned to
regular digital stations that might also have console permissions. The FAC
cannot be used to activate Station Lock for the attendant console, but the
FAC can be dialed from the attendant console in an attempt to remotely
activate or deactivate Station Lock for another station.
■ Personal Station Access (PSA)
Station Lock can be used for PSA stations as long as they are associated
with an extension. When stations are disassociated, Station Lock cannot be
activated.
■ Remote Access
After a remote user dials a valid barrier code, the user receives system dial
tone. To activate/deactivate Station Lock, the user must dial the FAC, then
the extension number, then the security code number.
Station security codes
Station security codes (SSC) provide security to you by preventing other users
from accessing functions associated with your station. Each station user can
change their own SSC if they know the station’s current settings.
You must create a system-wide SSC change FAC before users can change their
SSC. You must also provide users with their individual SSC. A user cannot
change a blank SSC.
