Pool Dial-Out Code (Hybrid/PBX Mode Only) 5
Use these instructions only if the system is operating in Hybrid/PBX mode.
The factory setting is for all extensions, including data stations, to be restricted
from using
all
dial-out access codes. You can unrestrict data stations to allow the
user access to one or more trunk pools by dialing the pool dial-out code.
The dial-out code restriction places data calls only on specific trunk pools. For
example, you may want to restrict users to trunk pools that are made up of special
data lines such as PRI channels used for data services, or to reserve other trunk
pools for voice communications only.
Planning Form Instructions 5
Use the Optional Features section of Data Form 1a or 1b for each data extension
to record your decisions:
1. In the Optional Features section, under the Pool Dial-Out Code Restriction
heading:
— Check Unrestricted from following codes and list the codes in the
space provided for unrestricted use.
— Check Restricted from following codes and list the codes in the
spaces provided for restricted use. The factory setting is restricted
for all codes.
2. Use Form 2c, System Numbering: Line/Trunk Jacks to locate the dial-out
codes for each pool that the data station is restricted from using. Write the
dial-out codes on the lines below the Yes box.
Calling Restrictions 5
When the system is first set up, all data stations are restricted. This means that
only inside (intercom) calls may be made, local and long-distance calls may not
be placed from any data station. However, you can unrestrict selected data
stations to allow local and long-distance calls.
Planning Form Instructions 5
Use the Optional Features section of Data Form 1a or 1b for each data station to
record your decisions. Under the Call Restriction heading, do one of the following:
■ If you do not want calling restrictions for this data station, check the
Unrestricted box.
■ If you want the data station restricted from making any outside calls, check
the Outward Restrict box (factory setting).
■ If you want the data station restricted from making long-distance calls
(intercom and local calls can be made), check the Toll Restrict box.
