5.22.1. Feature Description Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

Users in local OpenScape 4000/HiPath 4000 networks (i.e. confined to one company building/location) are to be able to use the "network-wide PIN" feature similarly to the previous system-wide PIN function, for manual PINs and chip cards. In corporate networks distributed over different sites/locations, some limitations must be expected.
IMPORTANT:
: Setup of network-wide PIN and network-wide follow-me is described in the Chapter 132, "PIN (Personal Identification Number)".
The following data and functions of a user's "home" station are available and usable at "foreign" stations in a network:
  1. Authorizations
    • Individual authorizations for external calls (COS1 / LCRCOS)
    • Internal traffic restrictions group no. (ITRGR)
    • Dial plan group no. (DPLNGR)
  2. Display data
    If a user sets up a call after activating his/her PIN at a foreign station, called users will see the calling user's own display name and number instead of that of the "foreign user's" station. If the calling user has a secret station number, this will be taken into account accordingly. Depending on the COPIN assigned to the user (class-of-PIN), called users may alternatively still see the "foreign" station data instead of the calling user's home station data.
  3. CDR data
    For call data recording purposes, either the station number of the home station or the number of the foreign station is entered in the CDR data record, depending on the COPIN.
  4. Mailbox LED (MB)
    When a user activates his/her PIN at a foreign station, the MB-LED of the foreign station will indicate new messages in the VMS or TCS mailbox of the user's home station.
  5. Follow-me
    Call forwarding to a foreign station can be activated at the foreign station as follows (follow-me feature):
    1. if PIN is activated: by pressing the FWD key for fixed call forwarding, or dialling the appropriate variable call forwarding code procedure.
    2. if PIN is not activated: via the Service Menu
  6. SMART
    If the user's home station is configured as a virtual station (a.k.a. "fictitious user"), the call forwarding mode can be switched over from variable FWD (follow-me) to fixed FWD (e.g. to the user's voice mailbox) at the "foreign" station. This function can also be configured for "real" stations/users.
  7. Project code (PCODE) verification
    The "PCODE" feature is intended to allow project-specific call charges and feature authorizations to be assigned to a project code. The PCODE number is not assigned to a specific user or home station. This means that it is not possible to determine ad hoc which node the PCODE is administered in. In order to be able to use PCODES throughout a network, it is necessary to install an administrable network-wide algorithm for PCODES, according to which the PCODE can be verified and identified ("modulo" verification). This means that the PCODES are no longer stored in individual nodes of the network.
  8. Restart protection
    The active PIN identifications and existing follow-me activations are not lost after soft or hard restarts, or after duplex switchover.
