Specifications

If your PBX or Centrex system includes dialing restrictions, use those instead of
the equipment restrictions. If you have PBX or Centrex dialing restrictions on a
line and also program equipment restrictions, both the PBX or Centrex system
and equipment restrictions apply. However, equipment dialing permissions will
not override PBX or Centrex system restrictions.
Speed Dial and Auto Dial Numbers
When you program numbers outside the PBX or Centrex system as Speed Dial
and Auto Dial numbers, include the PBX or Centrex system dial-out code (9 on
most systems), followed by one or more pauses, in the stored number.
System Programming Options
This section discusses programming options that involve multiple procedures
(such as dialing restrictions and auxiliary equipment settings), as well as
features that can be used throughout your system (such as Speed Dialing). You
can use a combination of programming procedures to set up your system to
operate most efficiently, taking into account your company’s telephone service,
personnel, and equipment, as well as the special needs of particular
departments. This section lists the procedures you can use; for details on using
a particular procedure, refer to the procedure name in Chapter 5.
Speed Dialing
You can program up to 100 frequently dialed phone numbers—such as
numbers for suppliers, repair services, customers—so that all users in the
system can dial them by pressing four buttons: [ Feature ] (or [ # ] on a standard
phone) plus a three-digit code. These are called System Speed Dial Numbers.
Dialing Restrictions and Permissions
The system has several procedures for restricting telephone use, and several for
overriding those restrictions. You can use any combination of these procedures
to design a system that meets your needs.
When a user makes a call, the system checks the number dialed against all of
the dialing restrictions that apply to the extension making the call. When the
number dialed passes a restriction, it goes to the next one, if necessary, When
a number violates a restriction, the call is stopped and the user hears a reorder
tone (fast busy signal).
IMPORTANT:
While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection
against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones give more protection
than standard phones. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you install
system phones where restricting phone use is important.
Locking an Extension
The system offers a Station Lock feature that lets users enter a four-digit code
on their telephone dialpad to lock their extensions. This helps prevent other
users from making outside calls at those extensions.
