Modify Status
OverviewThe Modify Status option on the main menu allows Administrators to modify the 
disable status of a single group, authorization code, or extension. This option can 
only be accessed under the Administrator password.
Figure 3-3   Modify Status
Notes
The Modify Status option allows the Administrator to disable a group of 
extensions, an authorization code, or a single extension in the following ways:
Unconditionally – Disabled constantly and indefinitely, until enabled again by 
the Administrator.  
Routinely – Disabled during the time interval associated with the group, 
authorization code, or extension in the database, as illustrated in the following 
example:
In the Group database, Group 2 is assigned an Interval Index of 5. In the Time 
Interval database, Interval Index 5 is a period that starts Friday at 10:00 p.m. and 
ends Monday at 5:30 a.m. When the System Administrator uses the Modify 
Status option to indicate YES in the Routinely Disable: field for Group 2, all of 
the extensions in this group are turned off during the Friday to Monday time 
period until either this same field is again changed or the Interval Index is 
changed.

Notes (Continued)
The System Administrator can also override the System Disable of an extension 
using this option. When Guardian has temporarily turned off an extension that has 
been used in an excessive number of invalid call attempts, the administrator can use 
this option to turn on the extension without altering the System Disable parameters 
in the Extension database. The next time the number of invalid call attempts on that 
extension exceeds the tolerated frequency, Guardian disables the extension again.
The ID database can only be modified through the Database Administration option 
in the APM. The Guardian Modify Status option cannot access the ID database.
There are two kinds of errors that may occur in the Modify Status option:
Database Record Not Found: If the system cannot find the record for the 
number you enter (group ID, authorization code, or extension number), this 
error message appears. Press ESC and re-enter the number. If the error message 
appears again, check the record through the APM master database and use the 
Process/Install command to reinstate the working database. If the error persists, 
call the system distributor.
Error Processing Modification to Database: If the record has been retrieved 
and the status modification has been entered, this message appears. If this 
occurs, call the system distributor.

ExtensionAdministrators can use the Extension option on the Modify Status menu to change 
the disable status of an extension.
  When you select this option, the Modify 
Extension screen displays.
Figure 3-6   Modify Extension
Notes
If the extension is set to be unconditionally disabled (Yes), it is disabled 
indefinitely as soon as this procedure is completed.  If the extension is set to be 
routinely disabled (Yes), the extension is regularly disabled during the time 
interval that is designated by the Interval Index in the authorization code database 
record.  (You can review the database record using the Query Database option on 
the System Administration menu or by entering the APM Database Administration 
option.)
The Administrator can override the system disable setting of any extension.  If the 
Administrator needs to turn on an extension after it has been turned off by the 
system, the Administrator may set the override field to Yes.  This override affects 
only the current system disabling of the extension; it does not protect the extension 
from being disabled after another episode excessive invalid call attempts.  (‘No’ is 
the default setting in this field.)

database.  You can access this option with either the Administrator or the Operator 
password.  When you select this option, the Query Database Menu displays for one 
of the three databases.

Notes
Using this option, the System Administrator or Operator can review records in any 
of the five working databases.  These databases include the fields maintained 
through the APM Database Administration menu and the current disable status of 
each group, authorization code, or extension.  The Query option provides a view-

If the system cannot find the record for the number you entered (group ID, 
authorization code, or extension number), the error message Database Record Not 
Found appears.  Press ESC and re-enter the number.  If the message occurs again, 
check the record through the APM master database and use the Process/Install
