NOTE:
If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is programmed for an extension, that
extension is required to enter an account code before dialing an outside
—on all of
number—even those on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406)
the lines or pools assigned to that extension. If Forced Account Code List
(#409) contains entries, the system checks the account code against the list. If
the account code is on the list, line or pool access is allowed; if not, line or pool
access is denied.
Controlling Calls on Outside Lines or Pools
When an extension is allowed access to an outside line or pool, you can use the
following procedures to control calling:
■
■
■
■
■
■
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) defines the type of calls (inside only,
local only, or inside, local, and long-distance) that users can make from
all lines or pools at an extension. Outgoing Call Restriction Button
(#114) allows the receptionist at extension 10 to quickly change an
extension’s current Outgoing Call Restriction setting.
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) creates up to four lists of
numbers that cannot be dialed. After creating Disallowed Phone Number
Lists, use
Disallowed List Assignments (#405)
to assign one or more
lists to a specific extension.
Night Service
with
System Password (#403)
restricts users at
extensions in the Night Service Group from dialing outside phone
numbers (except Emergency numbers and Marked System Speed Dial
numbers) unless the password is entered first.
Table 2-2 provides examples of settings that can be used to restrict an
extension’s dialing once it gets an outside line or pool.
Overriding Dialing Restrictions
The following programming procedures provide ways to override all dialing
restrictions, provided the user has access to an outside line or pool:
Emergency Phone Number List (#406) defines a list of up to ten
numbers that can be dialed from any extension. A typical number is 911.
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers are specially identified System
Speed Dial numbers, which a user can dial by pressing [
Feature
] (or [
#
] on
a standard phone) followed by a three-digit code.
System Password (#403) creates a password that can be entered at any
system phone (except an MDC 9000 or MDW 9000) to override dialing
restrictions for the duration of a call.
To override all dialing restrictions except Line Access Restriction (#302), Pool
Access Restriction (#315),
and
Night Service
with
System Password (#403),
use Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407) to create lists of outside numbers that
otherwise-restricted extensions can dial. Then use Allowed List Assignments
(#408)
to assign one or more of the lists to an extension.
