SECURITY
l
ALERT:
!
Networked systems require special attention to security issues. Follow the 
rules below when setting up and planning your system for network use.
Ensure that barrier codes are required for incoming remote access 
calls received on PSTN dial-plan routed facilities and tandem 
facilities that route to the local system by dialing the Remote Access 
code (889, for example). When you program the default COR, turn 
the barrier code requirement on. This setting is ignored for ARS 
calls and calls to non-local extensions across the network. However, 
it is still applied to DID and PRI dial-plan routed remote access calls 
as well as to calls received on a tandem trunk and routed to a 
Remote Access code. Because the COR Calling Restriction must be 
set to unrestricted for network calling, using barrier codes on these 
facilities is essential in order to apply security measures. When a 
Remote Access code is included in the non-local dial plan of the 
calling system, the caller must enter a barrier code and that barrier 
code FRL on the called system is compared to the UDP or ARS 
route FRL on the called system. See the Feature Reference and 
 for 
details.
Extension and ARS FRLs should be carefully and stringently 
assigned in order to prevent unauthorized trunk-to-trunk transfers to 
local PSTN facilities
 explains the operation of 
this feature in a networked system.
Facility Restriction Levels and 
Remote Access
4
Facility Restrictions Levels (FRLs) are number values from 0 to 6 that are used to 
allow or disallow calling. FRLs apply to the following four aspects of systems in a 
network:
Automatic Route Selection Routes. ARS routes are assigned to 
subpatterns that the system selects according to the time of day. Each 
route is assigned an FRL. An FRL of 6 is the most restrictive, and an FRL 
of 0 is the least restrictive. Factory-set ARS route FRLs are as follows:
— Routes assigned to Default Toll Tables: 3
— Routes assigned to the Default Local Table: 2
— Routes assigned to pools: 3
Uniform Dial Plan Routes. UDP routes are associated with patterns that 
also specify digit manipulation for directing calls to non-local extensions 
over tandem facilities, or directing calls to non-local PSTN facilities. Like 
ARS routes, UDP routes are assigned FRLs. The factory setting for UDP 
routes is 3.
