AT&T 999-507-144 system manual Assign Codes to Account Numbers

Assign Codes to Account Numbers

An account number on a call report allows you to identify the person or organization to whom the call should be charged. As you learned when you planned your system, you can store account numbers in the system under system speed dial codes. Your System Speed Dial Directory should show the codes you plan to assign to your account numbers.

NOTE: The 3-character codes available for account numbers are the same as those available for telephone numbers #60 through

#99. Do not assign the same 3-character code to both a telephone number and an account number. If you use a client's telephone number as that client's account number, you have to assign the number a 3-character system speed dial code (for example, #61) for speed dialing the client and another 3-character code (for example, #81) for entering the number in the account number column on a call record.

To assign a system speed dial code to an account number and store it in the system's memory, do the following:

1If you haven't already done so, enter administration mode.

2Find the account number in the System Speed Dial Directory, and dial the 3-character code (#60 through #99) you are assigning to that number.

3Dial *88.

4Dial the account number (up to 16 digits).

The console beeps twice on the sixteeth character to confirm the entry and to remind you that you can't add any more characters to this entry.

The console does not beep for an entry of less than 16 characters.

5Touch Administer.

The console beeps twice.

6Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each account number you want to encode.

7Continue to administer the system, or leave administration mode.

This concludes initial system administration. Your system should now be set to meet your immediate business needs. As you become more familiar with the system, and as your communications needs grow, you may want to add some options or features. When you have time, take a few moments to look through Section 5, "Reference," and read about the many other systemwide options and programmable features available to you with your MERLIN Plus Communications System.
