Allowed Lists
DESCRIPTION When the MERLIN II system is first set up, all phones can be used for all types
of calls. You can then restrict selected phones so that people can use them to
place only intercom or local calls (see Call Restriction). However, if that is too
limiting, you can use the Allowed Lists feature to allow people with restricted
phones to call particular area codes and/or exchanges. Using the Allowed Lists
feature, you assign lists of these permitted numbers (allowed lists) to the
phones.
The Allowed Lists feature helps you reduce telephone usage costs while
providing MERLIN II system users with the flexibility they need.
CONSIDERATIONS
● Only the system administrator can establish allowed lists.
● A system can have up to eight allowed lists, each with as many as ten
entries. Each entry can contain a leading 1, if required, plus a maximum of
six characters. These can be an area code, an exchange code, an area code
plus an exchange code, or an emergency number such as 911.
● Disallowed Lists take precedence over Allowed Lists. If a number appears
on both lists assigned to the same phone, when the number is dialed the call
will not go through.
