Lucent Technologies 4.1 manual Allowed Phone Number Lists #407, Considerations

Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)

Description

This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users can dial regardless of other dialing restrictions, as long as they have access to an outside line. For example, if you restrict an entire category of calls through Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404), you can permit calls to a specific number in that category by placing that number on an Allowed Phone Number List. Using this procedure, you can create up to four lists of up to 10 telephone numbers each.

Related Features

■After completing this procedure, you must use Allowed List Assignments (#408) to assign the Allowed Phone Number Lists to specific extensions.

■Allowed Phone Number Lists override Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) and Outgoing Call Restriction (#401), but not Line Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) or Night Service Button (#503) with a System Password (#403). (There are other ways of overriding restrictions—see Marked System Speed Dial Numbers, Emergency Phone List Numbers (#406), and System Password (#403) for more information.)

■The entries you must make to permit or restrict long-distance calls differ depending on the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the system whether a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial calls) is required when users make long-distance calls.

Considerations

■Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard character (by pressing the [ Hold ] button on a system phone) to match any single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).

■If you are restricting an extension from placing long-distance calls, do not place numbers beginning with a “0” on an Allowed Phone Number List for the extension. Once a user is active on an operator-assisted call, the user will be able to avoid dialing restrictions by asking the operator to dial restricted numbers.

■If you want to go to another programming procedure when entering phone numbers in a list, you must use [ Next Procedure ] or [ Prev Procedure ] to do so since entering [ # ] and a three-digit code will be considered data for the telephone number.

Valid Entries

Up to 12 digits including 0–9, [ # ], [ ★ ], and [ Hold ] (any single digit)
