Revising Allowed Lists may affect other features, including Auto Dial, Automatic
Route Selection (ARS), calling restrictions, Conference, Directories, Forward and
Follow Me, Night Service, personal lines, Remote Access, Speed Dial, and Toll
Type. For more information, see the
Feature Reference
.
NOTE:
When Allowed Lists are used in conjunction with Remote Access to restrict
calls made through the system from remote locations, the Allowed Lists
can be assigned to either a specific barrier code (password) or to specific
types of remote access trunks (for example, all tie/DID trunks).
In Release 3.1 and later systems, star codes may be included in Allowed and
Disallowed Lists. In these releases, dialed star codes are ignored by ARS for
routing calls. Star codes are provided by the central office (CO) to allow the use of
special features (for example, in many areas
*70
turns off a call-waiting feature
provided by the central office). In Release 3.0 and earlier systems, the star code
digits were processed as dialed digits by ARS, Allowed Lists, Disallowed Lists,
and calling restrictions. Therefore, the actual called party number was not
properly processed when a star code was entered.
Release 3.1 and later systems permit system managers to include star codes in
Allowed and Disallowed Lists. If a star code is allowed, the digits following the star
code are checked normally by Allowed/Disallowed Lists, calling restrictions, and
ARS.
The MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 3.1 and later observes
these Bellcore standards for star codes:
■ Only 2- or 3-digit star codes are recognized. Two-digit star codes must
begin with 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9. Three-digit star codes must begin with a 2 or
a 3.
■ The star code or codes must come at the beginning of the string of digits
dialed, not at the end or in the middle.
■ Multiple leading star codes are allowed. For example,
*67*705551212
is
recognized correctly, but in
5551212*67*705553131
the stars are ignored.
Valid Entries
6 digits for each number (an area code plus an exchange, or 6 digits with a
leading 1, where required)
Asterisk (*, Release 3.1 and later systems only) preceding a maximum of one
leading star code per entry
10 numbers for each list (numbered 0 through 9)
8 lists for each system (numbered 0 through 7)
