When the Password option of the Night Service feature is programmed, outgoing
calls can be restricted by requiring the user to enter a password. The operator
who turns Night Service on and off must also enter a password.
A Night Service Exclusion List exempts certain extensions (a HotLine, for
example) from the password requirement. Normal calling restrictions, however,
are still in effect.
NOTE:

Pool Dial-Out Code Restriction 4
Apply to: Extensions and remote access barrier codes, in Hybrid/PBX mode only
Use with: Any other restrictions
This restriction prevents an extension from dialing specific pool dial-out codes.
This restricts outgoing calls from specific pools and can be used to reserve pools
for specific purposes, for example, data communications. Beginning with Release
3.1, the default setting for this restriction is on; no extension or remote access
user with a barrier code has access to pools until the restriction is removed.
Facility Restriction Levels (FRLs) 4
Apply to: Extensions in conjunction with lines/trunks, in Hybrid/PBX mode only
Use with: Any other restrictions. Use Disallowed Lists if an FRL is unrestricted,
and Allowed Lists if an FRL is highly restricted, especially for
emergency numbers. Not necessary for remote access trunks if barrier
codes are used. Can be used on all tie trunks.
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is a Hybrid/PBX mode feature where the
system is programmed with dialing plans (called
routes
) that specify certain
lines/trunks or network services for outgoing calls, and can choose the most
economical facility for a given call at a given time of day. Facility Restriction Levels
(FRLs) are assigned to specific routes in an ARS table. There are seven different
FRLs that can be assigned to routes, ranging from 0 to 6, where 0 is the least
restricted and 6 is the most restricted.
In conjunction with FRLs assigned to routes, FRLs from 0 to 6 are also assigned
to extensions and are used to determine whether callers have permission to use
the routes. For an extension, 0 is the most restricted and 6 is the least restricted.
To use a route, the extension must have an FRL equal to or greater than the
route’s FRL. In other words, an extension with an FRL of 0 has the fewest ARS
privileges (routes with levels 1 through 6 cannot be used), and an extension with
