Restricting Access to Outside Lines
A user can access a line either by lifting the handset, pressing the line button on
the phone, or by dialing the Direct Line Pickup feature code. If you do not want
a user to access a specific outside line, you can use Line Access Restriction
(#302) to control an extension’s access to a certain line (whether the line is
assigned to the extension or not). Table 2-1 provides examples of settings that
can be used to restrict an extension’s access to a specific outside line.
NOTE:
If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is programmed for an extension, that
extension is required to enter an account code before dialing an outside
number—even those on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) —on all of
the lines assigned to that extension. If Forced Account Code List (#409)
contains entries, the system checks the account code against the list. If the
account code is on the list, line access is allowed; if not, line access is denied.
Controlling Calls on Outside Lines
When an extension is allowed access to an outside line, you can use the
following procedures to control calling:
■ Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) defines the type of calls (inside only,
local only, or inside, local, and long-distance) that users can make from
all lines available at an extension. Outgoing Call Restriction Button
(#114) allows the receptionist at extension 10 to quickly change an
extension’s current Outgoing Call Restriction setting.
■ Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) creates up to four lists of
numbers that cannot be dialed. After creating Disallowed Phone Number
Lists, use Disallowed List Assignments (#405) to assign one or more
lists to a specific extension.
■ Night Service with System Password (#403) restricts users at
extensions in the Night Service group from dialing outside phone
numbers (except Emergency numbers and Marked System Speed Dial
numbers) unless the password is entered first.
Table 2-2 provides examples of settings that can be used to restrict an
extension’s dialing once it gets an outside line.
Overriding Dialing Restrictions
The following programming procedures provide ways to override all dialing
restrictions, provided the user has access to an outside line:
■ Emergency Phone Number List (#406) defines a list of up to ten
numbers that can be dialed from any extension. A typical number is 911.
■ Marked System Speed Dial Numbers are specially identified System
Speed Dial numbers, which a user can dial by pressing [ Feature ] (or [ # ] on
a standard phone) followed by a three-digit code.
■ System Password (#403) creates a password that can be entered at any
system phone (except an MDC 9000 and MDW 9000) to override dialing
restrictions for the duration of a call.
