Specifications
Call Restrictions Forms
You can use call restrictions to prevent some or all voice terminals from
making outside calls (both local and long distance). You can also use the
Disallowed List to prevent some or all voice terminals from making billable
calls to 900 numbers, the 976 exchange, or other numbers as desired.
NOTE:
System Speed Dial with Restriction Override, which can be used as
2
password to access an otherwise restricted number, takes precedence
over Disallowed List. Disallowed List takes precedence over
everything else.
You can use Allowed Lists of numbers and/or special Speed Dial codes to
permit call restricted voice terminals to call specified telephone numbers, local
exchanges, or area codes. By combining call restrictions with selected
exceptions, you can control your outgoing call traffic and associated costs
without placing unreasonable constraints on the people in your business.
(Disallowed List, Allowed Lists, and System Speed Dial codes are explained
in detail in this section of the manual.)
NOTE:
Call restrictions do not affect a voice terminal’s ability to receive
incoming calls nor to make intercom calls.
DISALLOWED LIST
When you assign a Disallowed List of numbers to a voice terminal, the
persox
trying to dial a number on this list will not be able to place the call.
The system can store up to 20 disallowed numbers with up to 16 digits for a
given number. You can also use “wild card” digits to prevent calls to certain
exchanges within any area code, or similar combinations. Here are some
examples of how to use wild card digits:
l
Disallowing calls to the 976 exchange in any area code:
lHold976 or
OHold
where the wild card digits are entered by pressing
Hold three times.
l
Disallowing calls to any area code:
1Hold
or
OHold
where the wild card digits are entered by pressing
Hold
three times.
For many restrictions, you don’t have to use wild card digits. Here are some
examples:
l
Disallowing calls to any 976 number in the 201 area code:
1201976
l
Disallowing calls to the 201 area code:
1201
l
Disallowing
calls to a specific number in the 201 area code; 555-9876 for
