What is the format of the PIN Code?

Must be 5 digits in length.  Length is not adjustable.

 

What is involved in the setup and use of Audit PIN Codes?

Create the PIN  Code on the Phone System   >   Audit PIN  Codes  page:

  • Force users to  use  PIN Codes when seizing outside lines by configuring their handset's Seizing Rule  via the Phone System   >   Handset s >   Modify page.
  • Define which outside line  Service Groups  are to be used when  calls are placed using PIN C od es.  This is done via the Phone System   >   Dial Plan page. 
  • Place a call from a handset by dialing 78 + P IN  Code +  Phone Number.  For  Example, when calling "555-1212" using PIN Code “77777 ", a user would  dial the sequence 78 + 77777 + 5551212.
