Mitel 3300 COR question - what does it mean?

[pakman]

This is probably a very basic question but I haven't dealt much with Class of restriction groups form. I am wondering how to read this for example in the "Number" slot I have 2 then on the COR for group I have 3,11-13,23,31-33. I am not sure what these numbers correlate to? Does it mean that 3,11-13,23,31-33 cannot call out Route 2 in my ARS Routes form?

Thanks for any help.

Almost.
It means that any route in the ARS Route form that uses COR 2, that any device with a COR of 3,11-13,23,31-33 will be blocked from that route.

Long answer:
Class of restriction controls where you can call. You assign a call of restriction to all devices. The same call of restriction numbers can be assigned to multiple sets. You then create call of restirction groups by entering the call of restriction numbers into the groups. In ARS you create routes composed of the trunks out of the system. In the route programming for the route you assign a class of restriction group number. This means that any phone with a COR number contained in the COR group can not access the route.

So if i read your example right any device with 3, 11 to 13, 23 or 31-33 can not use this route anything else can i.e 1,2,4-10 etc etc etc.

Note: best practices for security is that COR 1 is put in all groups as it is the default COR that is assigned when you program up a new phone. That way if you program a new phone and forget to assign a COR, then at least the new phone can't call out. In your example a brand new phone could access route 2. 

Short answer: ralph, what he said.
