Emergency Phone Number List (#406)

Description

This System Programming procedure creates a list of up to 10 telephone numbers that all users can dial regardless of dialing restrictions provided they have access to an outside line. Typical list entries include fire, police, and other emergency services numbers.

Related Features

■If an extension is programmed for Forced Account Code Entry (#307), a user at the extension is required to enter an account code before dialing a number in the Emergency Phone Number List.

■The entries you must make to permit or restrict toll 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 you make toll calls.

Considerations

■Each telephone number can include up to 12 digits.

■When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers, you should 1) remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up and 2) perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.

Valid Entries

Up to 12 digits (0–9)
