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)
8 lists for each telephone
NOTE:
If you program
as the first digit of a list entry, any toll restriction assigned
to the extension is removed for calls that can be placed by a toll operator.
Also, special characters (such as Pause) are not permitted in Allowed List
entries.
