10.42.18.1. Network-Wide PIN Usage 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 able to use the "network-wide PIN" feature (AMO FEASU) similarly to the previous system-wide PIN function, for manual PINs and chip cards. The following data and functions of a user's "home" station are available and usable at "foreign" stations in such a network:
  • Individual classes-of-service for voice(COS1 / LCRCOS1)
  • Internal traffic restrictions group no. (ITRGR)
  • Dial plan group no. (DPLNGR)
  • Mailbox LED display for voice/fax messages
The range of functions available for the network-wide PIN feature is somewhat restricted, compared to the standard, internal PIN feature. The following restrictions apply to PIN usage within the home node and in remote nodes of a network with network-wide PIN functionality:
  • Follow-me function not available for all authorizations of a user's home station
  • DPLN and ITR groups: the group numbers of the user's home station are used to access the appropriate lists in the remote node
  • No follow-me function for repertory keys and DSS keys of a user's home station
  • No follow-me function for SNR (redial) destination stored in user's home station
  • No follow-me function for callback in user's home station
  • No follow-me function for individual speed dialing list in user's home station
  • No follow-me function for central speed dialing list in user's home station
  • No follow-me function for programmed timed reminder calls
  • PIN/PCODE verification against PIN/PCODE tables not possible
In cases where the follow-me function is not possible for home station data and home station memory, the data of the remote station will be used.
The "network-wide PIN" feature is intended for use in local networks (i.e. confined to one company building/location). In corporate networks distributed over different sites/locations, some limitations must be expected. The PIN types (COPIN settings) must be identically defined in all nodes of the network. In networks with open numbering schemes, users must use the node number of their home node when identifying themselves in foreign nodes. The ITR, DPLN, SPD2 and SPDC groups must be set up analogously in all nodes of the network. If the LCRCOS groups are not set up identically in all nodes of a network, outgoing connections may cause blocking of incoming calls to other nodes.
The network-wide PIN feature is intended to save having to set up separate PINs for the same users in the different nodes of a corporate network.
