How to setup and use account and authorisation codes in Gamma Horizon
If you want to know how to set up and use account and authorisation codes in Gamma Horizon, we explain it in this short guide.
Account and Authorisation Codes
Account codes are enabled to track calls made by defined users outside the Horizon VoIP phone system by prompting the users for an account code. You have the option of setting up a list of optional and mandatory groups. To enter a code in either group then you will need to dial *71, then the account code, and then the number to be dialled.
Authorisation codes are used to perform the authorisation of calls made outside of a calling group by prompting the user for an authorisation code. This could be, for example, where a phone is located in a public area and calls are to be restricted.
You can only use an Account Code if you have Authorisation Codes disabled. You cannot have both running concurrently.
Note: Account and Authorisation Codes can only be set up by a Company Administrator.
