If dialing restrictions are programmed for an extension, the system may
prevent a user at that extension from placing certain calls. For example, a
user may not be allowed to dial 900 numbers from the extension. (Or an
extension may be programmed to take incoming calls only, so the user
cannot dial out at all.) The following features provide dialing restrictions:
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404), Line Access Restriction (#302),
Pool Access Restriction (#315), and Outgoing Call Restriction (#401).
The following features can be used to override dialing restrictions: Allowed
Phone Number Lists (#407), Emergency Phone Number List (#406),
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers, and System Password (#403).
Users with system phones can enter account codes to track incoming and
outgoing calls. For more information, see Account Code Entry. You also
can use Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to identify extensions that
must enter account codes prior to dialing outside phone numbers (including
those on the Emergency Phone Number List).
Users can signal, then speak to, system phone users who are already active
on a call to alert them of important business matters, provided Voice
Interrupt On Busy (#312) is Assigned for the recipient.

The following instructions assume that system phones are set (using
Automatic Line Selection) to automatically select outside lines or pools first,
and standard phones are set to select intercom first. This means that when
a user with a system phone lifts the handset, the user hears outside dial tone
(if an outside line is available); but when a user with a standard phone lifts
the handset, the user hears intercom dial tone.
If you are using an MDC 9000 or MDW 9000 phone, make sure the handset
is on before using the following instructions. Also, these phones have no
speaker, so use the handset to make a call.
How to Make an Outside Call
System Phone
1.
Lift the handset or press [
Spkr
].
The green light next to a line or pool button is on steady and you hear
outside dial tone.
2.
Dial the phone number.
On a system display phone, the dialed number appears on the display.
If you are using a PBX or Centrex line, you also may need to use a dial-out
code (usually 9) before you dial a number outside the system.
To make an outside call on a specific line:
1.
Press the idle line button (red and green lights are both off) or dial [
Intercom
] [
8
]
plus the two-digit line number.
2.
If desired, lift the handset.
3.
Dial the phone number.
