Authorization Code
To complete entry of the authorization code, either press a programmed
Authorization Code button again or dial a
#
to signify the end of the code. If the
entered authorization code matches an assigned code, you continue to hear
inside dial tone and can start dialing the telephone number.
The green LED associated with a programmed Authorization Code button
becomes steady to indicate that an authorization code has been successfully
entered. The LED remains steady as long as the Authorization Code feature
remains active.
If the authorization code is not valid, you hear an error tone (a high tone followed
by a low tone). The green LED associated with a programmed Authorization Code
button goes off to indicate that the Authorization Code feature is not active. An
MLX display telephone shows the message
Auth Code Not Valid
, and an
analog multiline display telephone shows the message
Error
.
Deactivating an Authorization Code
0
Each entry of an authorization code is good for only one phone call. After
completing a call, the current extension loses home extension privileges. It also
loses privileges for subsequent calls after putting a call on hold or after initiating
Recall, Headset Hang Up, or Park features. If a far-end disconnect is not received
from the central office, you must hang up or select another outside line to
deactivate the Authorization Code feature.
After the feature is deactivated, the green LED next to the Authorization Code
button (if present) turns off.
