Assigning Outward and Toll Call Restrictions
You may want to restrict some voice terminals to intercom or local calls only if, for example, these employees do not need to make outside or long distance business calls. You probably also want to restrict any voice terminal located in a public area such as a lobby. The procedure for assigning different types of call restrictions is presented below. If you want these restricted voice terminals to have limited addi- tional calling capacity, follow the procedures for setting up and assigning allowed lists that are described in the following pages.
In order to restrict voice terminals to local calls only, your system must be able to iden- tify toll calls as they are dialed. Your lines are automatically set to detect the toll prefix (0 or 1) used in most parts of the country when people dial a long distance call. If you use atoll prefix, you should skip steps 2 through 4 of the procedure below. These extra steps are needed to allow systems installed in areas where toll prefixes aren’t used to detect long distance calls using area codes alone.
1.If you have not already done so, enter administration mode by follow- ing the boxed instructions on page 25.
If you must dial 0 or 1 before dialing a long distance call, go to step 5.
If you do not dial 0 or 1 before dialing a long distance call, go to step 2.
2.Touch Call Rstr.
The lights next to the administration mode buttons stop flashing, and the green light next to Call Rstr remains on.
3.Green lights next to each line button show whether a toll prefix is required to detect a long distance call placed on this line. Touch each line button until the light beside it shows the appropriate code. Each successive touch gives you one of the following codes:
Steady green on = toll prefix is needed to detect a long distance call
Green off = system detects long distance call by area code on/y
4.Touch Call Rstr.
The lights next to the administration mode buttons flash again.
5.Touch Adm Tel.
The lights next to the administration mode buttons stop flashing, and the green light next to Adm Tel remains on.
6.Dial the intercom number or touch the Auto Intercom button for the voice terminal you want to restrict.
If the voice terminals idle, a steady green light comes on next to the Auto intercom button, and the system gives a
If the voice terminal is being used, green lights next to the Auto Inter- com button and Adm Tel flash rapidly. Wait until the green lights become steady, or try again later.
