Instruction manual

Features
Beginning with Release 3.1, star codes can be included in Allowed and
Disallowed Lists (in Releases 3.0 and earlier, the system treats star codes no
differently from other dialed digits, and you cannot include a star code in an
Allowed/Disallowed List; this can affect calling restrictions and ARS routing).
Furthermore, they are ignored by the Automatic Route Selection feature when
routing calls. Star codes, typically dialed before an outgoing call, provide
special services from the CO. For example, in many areas a telephone user can
dial
before a telephone number to disable central office-supplied caller
identification at the receiving party’s telephone. To allow or disallow use of this
star code preceding a call, you include
*67 in an Allowed or Disallowed List. For
each star code, a separate list entry is required. For more information about
star codes in Allowed/Disallowed Lists, see Chapter 6, “
Managing the System.
”
Beginning with Release 3.1, a default Disallowed List (number 7) is provided
with the system. This Disallowed List is automatically assigned to both generic
and integrated VMI ports used by voice messaging systems. It includes the
following entries, which are often used for toll fraud:
■
0, to prevent international calls
■
10, to prevent access to long-distance service providers
■
1809, to prevent unauthorized international calls routed through the
Dominican Republic
■
1700, to prevent unauthorized toll calls with a “
700
” area code
■
1900, to prevent unauthorized toll calls with a “
900
” area code
■
976, to prevent local toll calls to numbers with “
976
” local access codes
■
1www976, where “w” stands for a wildcard entry, to prevent long-
distance calls to numbers with “976”
local access codes
■
11, to prevent the use of star codes at single-line telephones
■
*, to prevent the use of star codes at multiline telephones
Night Service with Outward Restriction
Apply to: Whole system
Use with: Night Service Emergency List. Includes emergency numbers that can
be dialed regardless of restrictions. No password is required.
Night Service Exclusion List. Exempts certain extensions from the
password requirement. Normal calling restrictions, however, are still
in effect.
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.
