Authorization Codes
You can also administer authorization codes to manage access to your system.
You can then use CDR to track this code use. Use these guidelines to manage your
system’s authorization codes.
■ Assigning codes — Create random codes; do not allow them to follow a
predictable pattern. Use the maximum code length allowed and assign a
unique code to each person responsible for protecting the code.
■ Changing codes — Change codes often.
■ Deleting codes — Delete codes when they are no longer needed.
■ Monitoring codes — Use CDR reports to analyze code use.
Alternate Facility Restriction Levels
Consider changing facility restriction levels (FRL) with alternate facility
restriction levels (AFRL) after normal business hours to restrict where calls can be
made over your facilities. Take care not to restrict callers from summoning
emergency services after hours.
Class of Restriction
The COR of an authorization code supersedes that of a barrier code.
■ Time of Day Routing — Controlled by the time-of-day entries in COR or
by the partition.
■ Toll Restriction and Analysis — Controlled by COR.
■ Trunk Access Code — Interacts with toll restriction. You can translate your
switch so users can make toll calls via Alternate Route Selection (ARS)
without using a trunk access code.
■ Trunk Administration — Remote Access trunks can be restricted.
For additional steps to secure your system and to find out about obtaining security
information on a regular basis, refer to the BCS Products Security Handbook.
Logoff Notification
Use Logoff Notification when Remote Access is enabled, but not actively used.
Logoff Notification notifies you at logoff that Remote Access is enabled. It guards
against inadvertently leaving Remote Access active and can also alert you to
unauthorized feature activation. Logoff Notification is administered by login ID.
