FRL questions 2

[Ding07]

Need clarifications on FRL definitions:

According to Admin. Guide of Avaya ACM4, "The FRL determines the calling privileges of the user. Facility Restriction Levels are ranked from 0 to 7, where 7 has the highest level of privileges" as defined on page 302 on "Managing Calling Privileges".

But on "Route Pattern" on page 302, it says
"Enter the Facility Restriction Level (FRL) ... 0 is the least restrictive and 7 is the most restrictive"

If I understand the above definitions correctly, a COR with FRL=0 has the lowest level of privileges (or the most restrictive). But a Route Pattern with FRL=0 is the least restrictive (or with the highest level of privileges).

Does this make any sense? May be this is how FRL set diffretnly for COR and a Route Pattern, or else?

Ding07,

It possible the route pattern is for 911 calls so an FRL of 0 will allow a restricted phone to dial 911.

Dignoffo,

This is not a route pattern specific question. It seems to me that the definitions of FRL in "Calling Privileges" of COR and "Route Pattern" are contradictory to each other in term of how 0-7 values map to the restriction levels (or privileges levels).

The document is "Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager, 03-300509 Issue 3 Februray 2007".

Thanks

FRL 0 is the most restricted. For the Route Pattern used for 911 always set the FRL to 0.

In general(not to discuss a specific COR or Route Pattern), is it true that FRL 0 is the most restricted for setting up any COR and any Route Pattern? This does not seem to agree with what I referenced from the definitions of FRL described in "COR" and "Route Pattern" in the Avaya document.
I included the both FRL definitions in my initial post.

Also is it true that the most restrictive is the same as the least privileged (or with the lowest level of privileges)?

Thanks

In the COR you are assigning an FRL to that COR. In the Route Pattern you specify the minimum FRL required to use that trunk group.

What it means by "zero is the least restrictive for a route pattern FRL" is that any FRL from zero to seven can go out over a route pattern with a zero FRL. Only an FRL of seven can go out over a route pattern with an FRL of seven. So therefore a route pattern with an FRL of zero is less restrictive because eight FRL designations can go out over it while a 7 FRL route pattern will only allow one FRL to go out over it.

Thank you all for the clarifications!
