1.2.7 Direct Inward System Access (DISA)

title2.gif Calling through DISA

title2.gif Calling through DISA

When outside callers access extensions in the PBX, a prerecorded message greets the caller and gives information about how to access an extension. You do not need the operator's assistance.
You may be able to access system features or call an outside party with your password depending on the security mode. Ask your manager for the mode assigned to your PBX.

WARNING
When you enable the Outside-to-Outside Call feature of DISA, and a third party discovers the password (verified code PIN/extension PIN) of the PBX, there will be a risk that they will make fraudulent phone calls using the telephone line, and the cost will be charged to your own account. In order to avoid this problem, we strongly recommend the following points:
a) Carefully maintain the secrecy of the PIN.
b) Specify a complicated PIN as long and random as you can make it.
c) Change the PIN frequently.
Time limit
Both parties will hear an alarm tone fifteen seconds before the specified time limit. To extend, press any dial button except asterisk.gif.
If Built-in Automated Attendant service is set, you can access the desired extension simply by pressing a single digit (0-9) from the options given the prerecorded message.

1.2.8 Remote Setting

You can set the following features on your telephone from another extension or through DISA.
