Class Of Service
Description
Each station and each CO line is assigned a Class of Service (COS) which governs stations’ 
dialing privileges. Day COS and Night COS assignments to stations provide the system 
administrator additional control over station dialing, preventing misuse of phones after 
hours.
Seven uniquely defined COSs are available for assignment to stations and five uniquely 
defined COSs are available for assignment to CO lines. Station COS works in conjunction with 
CO line COS to provide the most flexible means for offering custom toll restriction.
The following table depicts how the station and CO line COSs interact. After setting the 
station COS, any change to the CO line COS will result in a change in dialing privilege. For 
example, a station COS of 2 with a CO line COS of 5 gives the user an unrestricted calling 
privilege.
