What's the best way to restrict a phone except for one user ? 1

[svhtech]

She is in a semi-public area and we want to restrict her phone to an NCOS of 0 when she's not there and give her an NCOS of 5 when she working. Is SARS the way to do this? How do Authcodes get set up ? Any other Ideas ?
I didn't want to have her put in a code for each call, but if that's what it takes, we will.

It should be setup in particlatr load, you can customize a certain number of auth codes. It's best to go through the vendor on this one>

u can use time of day ncos if the user has fixed hours.

 

[svhtech]

That's the problem, no fixed hrs. BTW, It's a 3904 on 25.40B.

You could set up Electronic Lock Controlled Class of Service, although it does involve a bit of programming and may require a switch init (you have to turn on the station password feature). What it does is to allow your user to "lock" and "unlock" her phone, so that it is 0 when locked and 5 when unlocked. You may want to get your vendor involved, or if you feel you want to set it up yourself, let me know and I will post the various steps for you.

auth codes are very simple, when i get back to the switchroom tomorrow i will paste the software and loads you need.. you will need to know that if you turn that on all users with a ncos of 0 will also need a fac code. the best way around that is to move all but that user up to a higher ncos..

johnpoole, simple is good; I agree.

 

[svhtech]

John, Phones with a NCOS of 0 are used by the public so I can't give them a fac code. I'm not sure what you mean by moving all to a higher ncos. That is not a good option anyway, I don't have OTM and there are too many phones involved.
Sandy, The Electronic Lock sounds like what I'm looking for. I'm not worried about the programming, I'll do some reading today, and anything you can add would be greatly appreciated. Do you use this on your switch?
Is it like Scheduled Access Restrictions? I was looking, reading about that with an Auth code to override it. That will take some programming but it should work.

Thanks for the quick responses. JB

if you use auth codes, in the cdb, you'll see a prompt that give auth codes for ncos higher then x, so if you require any ncos higher then 0 to require a auth for any reason, you'll need to change the nocs on some sets to 1 or higher. i just went through this and it's not eacy but it's da-able. i don't use otm but i do use script files so changing the ncos or 1300 phones took about 4 hours.. thank goodness most sets were correct

When my phone was in an open cubicle in a 24/7 area, I had to put this on my phone to discourage people from "camping out" at night at my desk, doodling on my desk blotter while they made personal calls. It was the doodling that did it, I think...

Anyway...

First, make sure you have the required feature package: 81 or 81 and 173.

Then, you need to enable Station Control Password Length in your customer datablock (LD 15). First, print FFC to see if it is already enabled:

LD 21
PRT FFC
CUST 0
--if SCPL prompt is set to 0, then it is disabled. You will need to change it to whatever length you need, then do a datadump and a sysload to activate.

LD 15 - enable SCPL and Controlled Class of Service CCRS:

REQ: CHG
TYPE: FFC
CUST 0
CCRS (pick TLD, SRE, FRE, FR1, FR2 etc -- you may need to play around with this to choose the appropriate one for you)
SCPL 4 (for a 4 digit password, for example)

LD 57
In your Flexible Feature Code datablock (LD 57), define the codes for "lock" (ELKA) and "unlock" (ELKD). Something like *5 and *8.

LD 11 or 10 - allow Controlled Class of Service on the phone:

REQ: CHG
TYPE: (phone type)
TN lscu
SCPW (enter password to lock/unlock that phone)
CLS CCSA

You'll find more details in the NTPs. If you are not familiar with these datablocks and how to do a sysload, you might decide to get your vendor to assist. Let us know how it works.

Ok, looks great! I don't have time today to get in to it. Hopfully tomorrow, I let you know either way.
Thanks JB.

Pardon me for getting in on this post, but I was going to post a very similar question and I wondered which of the 2 options would be better for me.
I just have one phone involved. I need in house/local access for all users but one. This guy is a manager and needs to be able to dial long distance. He wouldn't mind punching in a code each time he needs to dial long distance. John, can you post the steps for your method? (if you feel it will work for me)
Sorry for the intrusion.

 

[sandyml]

Tbarrnes, I think that auth codes would be the best for you. And don't worry that you're intruding, that's a very appropriate question.

 

[johnpoole]

yes when i get to work tomorrow i will post a few pages from my auth block, it is a lot eaisier then the book makes it seem, fromthe above post remember that if only one phone need auth codes it must be a phone with the lowest ncos, the cdb when set up will require an auth code from all phone with ncos x or lower, the auth block changes the ncos of any phone you use it on, i use 6 digit codes which is to small for 5000 codes..

I got it done ! I went with Sandy’s route setting up CCSA on the phone. The best part was I was able to change SCPL from 0 to 4 without an Init or Sysload ! Yeah ! I set it up backward from the norm. CCS is set as UNR and CNCS is 5. So her phone is normally NCOS 0, when she "locks" her phone she has a NCOS of 5, "unlocked is 0. This way I can add CCSA to other NCOS 0 phones and use them to make outgoing calls when I need to.
Thanks again for everyone’s help and a star for Sandy [red]GO SOX![/red]

you'll need a password to get past that, try 1111 or 0000,.i've seen it set to both

svhtech -- YEAH!!! Great to hear that a sysload isn't needed any more! Thanks for posting your customized solution (I will add to my stash of "good stuff"), and thanks for the

looks like your right, the sox have it in the bag.. they saw the yanks blow a 3 0 lead and you can bet they are going full bore... i'm a braves fan, big time, but the sox are my pick this series just because they are playing with all they have... no curse for them, (i have babes autograph) along with a few 100 others and make 20 or so games a year, i love to make road games for the braves, mostly because you can ebay front row tickets for half the price in Atlanta, almost can't buy them their for anything..congrats for the problem fixed
