Ok, a little more about FRLs. If the FRL on the route pattern is 0 then there is no restriction to the trunk groups, any station FRL (0-7) can make calls. Subject to other restrictions that you can set elsewhere, of course.

If the route pattern FRL is 2 then stations with an FRL of 2-7 can make calls, stations with an FRL of 0 or 1 cannot. If the route pattern has an FRL of 5 then stations with an FRL of 5-7 can make calls, stations with an FRL of 0-4 cannot. I think you get the idea now.

The FRL is set in the COR and every auth code has an associated COR. When you activate auth codes, if a caller does not have a native FRL high enough to make a call then they will be challenged for an auth code. After entering the auth code their native COR will be replaced by the one belonging to that auth code. If that COR has a high enough FRL then the call will be allowed.

Now we assume all your phones are using FRLs 2-4 and we implement peter65's time-of-day plan. During the day you will use a route pattern with an FRL of 0 so that all calls are allowed and your users will not be challenged for an auth code. At 5PM (or whenever) your plan will shift to another route pattern that has an FRL of 5. Since that is higher than any of your phones have, all calls will be challenged for an auth code.

Note: Before you go any farther in this direction, you need to verify that you have authorization codes available. Type "display sys cust" and find the entry "Authorization Codes". That must have a "y" there to use auth codes.
