DESCRIPTION
When the system is first installed, people can use their voice terminals to
place intercom, local, and toll calls. However, the system administrator can
assign either of two types of call restrictions for selected voice terminals:
l Outward Call Restriction restricts voice terminals so that only intercom
calls can be placed.
l Toll Call Restriction restricts voice terminals so that only intercom and
local calls can be placed.
CONSIDERATIONS
ADMINISTRATION
Even if a voice terminal has Outward Call Restriction, the person can bridge
onto calls in progress, answer incoming calls, and place and receive intercom
calls.
If the outward call restrictions are too limiting, the administrator can
designate a list of numbers that individuals may call beyond the established
restrictions. (See “Allowed Lists. “)
If the administrator decides to store a System Speed Dial code with
Restriction Override, all voice terminals in the system can use the code as a
type of password that allows the person to access the outside number,
regardless of toll or outward call restrictions previously placed on the voice
terminal. (See “System Speed Dial. “)
If there are two or more voice terminals in the system that will have the same
restrictions, the administrator can use the Copy feature to copy these
restrictions from one voice terminal to another. (See “Copy. “)
When administering call restrictions, the system administrator can use
restriction reset to ensure the integrity of the assigned restrictions.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
To administer call restrictions to a voice terminal:
1 Enter administration mode by sliding the TIP switch to P and touching
Administer.
2 Touch the Auto Intercom button or dial the intercom number of the voice
terminal you want to restrict.
3 Touch Restrict until the green light beside it shows the kind of call
restriction you want the voice terminal to have.
Steady green light on = Unrestricted (all calls permitted)
Flashing green light = Toll restricted (local and intercom calls only)
Green light of = Outward restricted (intercom calls only)
4 Touch Administer.
The console beeps twice.
5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each voice terminal you want to restrict.
