Outgoing Call Restriction (#401)

Description

This System Programming procedure identifies the types of outgoing calls that can be made on all lines at an extension. See “Dialing Restrictions and Permissions” in Chapter 2 for a summary of calling restrictions.

Related Features

This restriction also applies to lines that a user has access to with Direct

Line Pickup—Idle Line.

To override this feature, users can dial Marked System Speed Dial Numbers, and numbers from an Allowed Phone Number List (#407) and the Emergency Phone Number List (#406). Also, if a System Password (#403) is defined, PARTNER-model phone users can enter it to override restrictions.

You can program a button on the system phone at extension 10 to be used to quickly change an extension’s Outgoing Call Restriction setting, See Outgoing Call Restriction Button (#114) for information.

You can use Line Access Restriction (#302) to restrict extensions from making or receiving calls on specific lines, Pool Access Restriction (#315) to restrict extensions from making or receiving calls on all lines belonging to a specific pool, and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) to specify telephone numbers that users cannot dial.

If you program an extension for Forced Account Code Entry (#307), the user at that extension must enter an account code before accessing an outside line. (This feature is not available on standard phones.)

Considerations

While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones give you more protection against such misuse than standard phones. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you install system phones where restricting phone use is important.

If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and a dial-out code (usually 9) is needed to place calls outside the PBX or Centrex system, the control unit may not be able to prevent calls for extensions restricted to Local Only. If dialing restrictions are needed on Centrex lines, use Centrex restrictions instead.

Valid Entries

1 = No Restriction (can make long-distance, local, and intercom calls) 2 = Inside (intercom) Only

3 = Local (intercom and local) Only
