Passwords
COS pswds
Class of Service (COS) passwords permit controlled access to
system resources by both internal and remote users.
When you enter a COS password at a telephone, the restriction
filters associated with your password apply instead of the
normal restriction filters. Similarly, when a remote user enters
a COS password on an incoming auto-answer line, the
restriction filters and remote package associated with their
COS password apply instead of the normal restriction filters
and remote package.
COS pswds
allows you to define individual passwords and
determine the restriction filters and remote package associated
with each.
Tips -
The Class of Service passwords for a system should
be determined randomly and should be changed on a regular
basis.
Users should memorize their COS passwords. COS passwords
should be deleted when an employee leaves the company.
Tips -
Typically, each user has a separate password.
Alternately, several users can share a password or one user
can have several passwords.
A system can have a maximum of 100 six-digit COS passwords
(00 to 99).
You can use
COPY
and the dialpad to copy the restriction
filters and remote package from one COS password to
another. COS passwords must be unique.
