Hi!
There is two kinds of auth codes .
One is regional .
And one is cenral .
The difference in initiation is:
Reginal:
AUCOI

IR=1234,AUTH=9999,CILCOD=5678,CAT=15;
Central:
AUCOI:AUTH=5723,CILCOD=2333,CAT=1,CHECK=YES;
You will see that regional has binding to DIR.
Central has not .
Difference:
Common authorization code (Central).
This is a code that does not have to be connected to any directory number in the system, the codes are stored in a common data base. The authorization code can however be limited to one telephone. The authorization code cannot be changed by the user.
This type of authorization code is suitable when there is need for a code that can be used from any telephone in the system or for visitors that do not have their own extension in the system.
If an ADN-extension is using the common authorization code the categories will be updated from the ODNs common authorization code.
The common authorization code provides two different functions:
- Locking/unlocking of an extension.
When locked a lower class of service is used.
- Authorization code dialling.
This enables the calling party to use other class of services than those the extension is programmed with.
Individual authorization code (Regional).
This is a code that is always affiliated to a directory number in the system, the codes are stored in a local data base in the same LIM as the directory number.
This type of authorization code is suitable when there is need for a code that is used by only one user that mainly is using the code from the own telephone and wants to change the code now and then. However a individual authorization code can always be used from own or other extension.
Individual authorization code can be initiated on an ADN-extension.
The individual authorization code provides three different functions:
- Locking/unlocking of an extension.
When locked a lower class of service is used.
This procedure are not allowed from an ADN-extension.
- Authorization code dialling.
This enables the calling party to use other class of services than those the extension is programmed with.
- Changing the authorization code from the telephone.
This enables the authorization code user to change the code when suitable.
Hope this helps to clear up this issue .
Best regards
