PHONE LINE MANAGER 16 X 4

14.7 Password to Override Call Barring

This feature gives you the flexibility to allow extensions to override call barring (toll restrictions) for a single phone call. To override Call Barring, the user must have a six-digit password. This feature would most likely be used if a manager will be needing to make restricted calls from any telephone in the system. It is also possible to restrict all extensions and require this password to be entered whenever a toll call is to be made.

To set the Override Call Barring Password:

1.In the programming mode, enter 763.

2.Enter a six-digit password. Pause for confirmation tone.

3.Hang up or continue with programming.

To use this password, from any extension dial 40, followed by the six-digit password entered in this command. A confirmation tone will be given if the password is entered correctly. The extension can continue making unrestricted calls until it goes on hook for at least 2 seconds.

14.8 Restrict Calls at Night

This setting will force all extensions to use Allow Table #3 and Disallow Table #3 when the Phone Line Manager 16 x 4 enters the Night mode. Table #3 would typically contain a very restrictive set of dialing sequences, perhaps allowing only local and emergency calls.

To force all extensions to use restrictive call barring at night:

1. In the programming mode, enter 7830. Pause for the confirmation tone.

To allow all extensions to use their normal call barring at night:

1. In the programming mode, enter 7831. Pause for the confirmation tone.

Once this parameter causes an extension to use the restricted call-barring tables, the Individual Extension password must be entered to remove the extension from the restricted mode. This password is entered by dialing 50, followed by the six-digit password which they have previously set. (The Individual Extension password is programmed by dialing 255 followed by the six-digit password and can only be entered while the extension is NOT in the restricted mode. The default value is ‘111 111’. ) When the Phone Line Manager 16 x 4 switches back into the Day Mode, the extensions are not automatically removed from the restricted calling mode.

Additionally, individual extensions can dial a code (59) which forces the extension to use the restrictive tables, perhaps when they leave the office for lunch or at the end of the day. At a later time, the person at the extension can dial 50, followed by the six-digit password to allow the extension to use its normally assigned call barring tables.
