Here’s how toll restriction works:
As a number is dialed (or a speed-dial key is pressed), the system compares the number dialed, starting
with the first digit, until a match is found in one of the toll-restriction tables, in the order described above
under “If TOLL CALLS = N (no).” If no match is found, the default is to allow the call.
Example: Extension 101 is set with TOLL CALLS = N in Function 321. The user dials 1 5 5 5 1 2 1 2. The
system finds the first digits in the number dialed match the entry 1 5 5 5 in the Fixed Deny table.
Since extension 101 isn’t allowed toll calls, the call will be restricted (blocked).
To program the allow and deny exception tables:
1. Select the table to which you’ll be adding or changing entries, Allow or Deny.
2. Enter each number pattern that will be allowed or denied, pressing # after each pattern.
To delete an entry, use the scroll keys to select the number and press HOLD to delete.
Example: For “1-900,” enter 1 9 0 0 #.
Notes: Press MUTE/DND to insert a “wild card” digit. A “wild card” digit is needed only when
followed by more numbers; e.g., to allow/deny 1-555, enter just 1 5 5 5 # — however, to
allow/deny all “1+” area codes and 555, enter 1 X X X 5 5 5 # (where X indicates a pressing
of MUTE/DND).
If a number that’s already entered in one table is entered in the other table, this will
automatically delete the number from the first table. For example:
— If 8 9 0 is an entry in the Deny Exception table . . .
— . . . and, later, 8 9 0 is entered in the Allow Exception table . . .
— . . . 8 9 0 will be automatically deleted from the Deny Exception table.
Warning: Do not include system line access codes (9, 8, or 71–76) in any of the toll restriction entries.
3. After the last number, enter # # to end the list. The system will apply the numbers you enter to their
most significant digit.
Example: Entering 1 5 0 5 into the deny exception table tells the system to deny all “1+” calls to area
code 505. But entering 1 5 0 5 5 5 5 8 7 8 7 into the table tells the system to deny “1+” calls
specifically to [phone] while allowing other “1+505” calls.
To allow information calls, enter into the allow table: 411, 1411, 5551212, 1XXX5551212 (where X is a
wild card digit, entered by using MUTE/DND).
Default: None.
Function 226: Local allow table
If some stations have not been allowed in Function 321 (page F.6) to dial seven-digit local calls, you can use
the local allow table to allow certain calls.
Range: 1–100 entries; each entry’s maximum length is 16 digits.
Default: No entries.
Note: If you have any extensions that have been denied the ability to make local calls but you wish to let them
dial toll-free numbers, an entry will be required in this field to allow those calls.
