Setting Up Allowed Lists

Call restriction by allowed lists adds a group of permitted numbers to the calling range of an outward- or toll-restricted voice terminal. Permitted numbers consist of an area code, an exchange code (the first three digits of a 7-digit telephone number), both codes, or an emergency number such as 911.

For example, a customer service representative in New York City with a toll-restricted voice terminal might need to speak with customers in northern New Jersey (area code 201). This person should have area code 201 in his or her allowed list. A clerk in Houston with an outward-restricted voice terminal might need to call several local vendors and the company’s headquarters in Chicago. The clerk’s allowed list would include the first three digits of the local vendors’ telephone numbers and the area code and first three digits of the firm’s Chicago telephone number.

“Assigning Allowed-List Call Restrictions,” the section that follows, explains how to assign allowed lists to restricted voice terminals.

You can establish up to eight allowed lists (which you number O through 7), each with a maximum of ten entries (which you number O through 9). Before you begin setting up allowed lists, fill out an Allowed-List Directory for each allowed list, using the form provided on page 112. Then, follow the procedure below.

1.If you have not already done so, enter administration mode by follow- ing the boxed instructions on page 25.

2.Touch Adm Misc.

The lights next to the administration mode buttons stop flashing, and the green light next toAdm Misc remains on.

3.Dial the 2-character code #5.

4.Dial the list number (0 through 7).

5.Dial the number (0 through 9) of the entry you want to record.

6.Dial the new entry, which may consist of an area code, an exchange code, or both. The entry may also be a special-purpose number such as 911.

7.Repeat steps 3 through 6 to add more entries to the same list or to add entries to a different list.

8.If you want to remove an entry from a list,perform steps 3 through 5 and touch Drop.

9.You may have a printer connected to your system for SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording). To order a printout of one of your allowed lists, repeat steps 3 and 4, then dial the 4-character code #900.

When the printout is completed, you hear a beep.

Don’t go on to step 10 until you hear the beep, or you will get an in- complete printout. Don’t remove the printout until you have completed step 10, or your page alignments will be affected.

10.Touch Adm Misc.

The lights next to the administration mode buttons flash again.

Remove the printout from the printer.

11.Continue to administer your system or leave administration mode by following the boxed instructions on page 25.
