Restricting Access to Outside Lines
A user can access a line either by pressing the line button on the phone or by
dialing a feature code (Direct Line Pickup). 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).
NOTE:
If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is programmed for an extension, that
extension will be required to enter an account code before dialing an outside
number—even those on the Emergency List—on all of the lines assigned to the
extension.
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) controls calling for all lines available
on an extension.
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 Assignment (#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.
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 marked System
Speed Dial numbers that a user can dial automatically by pressing
[
Feature ] (or [ # ] on a standard phone), followed by a two-digit code.
System Password (#403) creates a password that, when entered at any
MLS-model phone (not an MLC-6 or standard phone) overrides dialing
restrictions for the duration of a call.
To override all dialing restrictions, except
Line Access Restriction (#302) and
Night Service with a System Password (#403), use Allowed Phone Number
Lists (#407).
Then use Allowed List Assignments (#408) to assign one or
more lists to an extension.
