Call Restrictions and Allowed Lists Directory
OUTWARD RESTRICTED
TOLL RESTRICTION
You can use call restrictions to prevent some or all voice terminals from making outside calls (both local and long distance) or from making long distance calls. Then you can use allowed lists of numbers and/or special speed dial codes to permit restricted voice terminals to call specified telephone numbers, local exchanges, or area codes. By combining call restrictions with selected exceptions, you can control your outgoing call traffic and costs without placing unreasonable constraints on the people in your business.
(Both allowed lists and system speed dial codes are explained in detail later in this section of the manual.)
NOTE: Call restrictions do not affect a voice terminal's ability to receive incoming calls or to make intercom calls.
Some people in your business may have little need to make any outside calls, either local or long distance. You can place an outward call restriction on their voice terminals during system administration, and the system will ignore attempts to dial outside telephone numbers from those voice terminals. Then if you want these people to be able to make local calls in business or personal emergencies, you can assign them an allowed list of local exchanges and, perhaps, emergency numbers such as 911 when you assign the call restrictions.
You can also use system speed dial codes with restriction override (called passwords in some telephone systems) to allow restricted voice terminals to call selected local or long distance telephone numbers. You simply mark the numbers for restriction override and store them in the system's memory under speed dial codes when you administer the system. Then anyone in your system, including those with restricted voice terminals, can use the speed dial codes to call the stored numbers.
Under "Call Restrictions" on the form . . .
Put a check mark in the "Outward Restricted" column next to the intercom numbers for the voice terminals you want to place outward restrictions on when you administer the system.
Some people in your business may need to be able to call any local telephone number but have little need to make long distance calls. You can place a toll call restriction on their voice terminals. The system will allow local calls from those voice terminals but ignore attempts to dial long distance numbers.
Then if there are certain areas of the country these people have to call on business, you can set up an allowed list of those long distance area codes and assign the list to the toll restricted voice terminals when you administer the system. You can also mark selected long distance telephone numbers for restriction override and store them under speed dial codes in the system's memory. Then anyone in your system, including those with toll restricted voice terminals, can use the speed dial codes to dial those long distance numbers.
