Lucent Technologies 518-458-100 manual Line Access Restriction #302, 130

Feature Reference

Line Access Restriction (#302)

Description

This System Programming procedure restricts an extension from receiving and/or making outside calls on a specific line. For example, you may want a secretary to answer calls on a manager’s line, but not to make any outgoing calls on the line; in this case you can assign the manager’s line to the secretary’s extension and restrict it to In Only.

■This procedure is the most extreme way to restrict dialing. For example, an extension with a line set to In Only or No Access cannot select the line to dial out— even for numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406). See Dialing Restrictions and Permissions for a summary of all dialing restrictions.

■For pooled extensions, use Pool Access Restriction (#315) to assign restrictions to all the lines assigned to a specific pool. (Pool Access Restriction overrides Line Access Restriction.) For individual lines on pooled extensions, use Line Access Restriction.

■To prevent an extension from using a line, restrict the line even if it is not assigned to the extension, so it cannot be accessed using Direct Line Pickup. If an extension’s access to a line is set to No Access or In Only, the extension cannot place calls on that line, either by pressing the line button or by using Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line. Likewise, if the extension’s access to a line is set to No Access or Out Only, the extension cannot receive calls on that line that are ringing at other extensions, either by pressing the line button or by using Direct Line Pickup—Active Line.

■When a user has access to an outside line for outgoing calls, dialing restrictions can be customized for the user’s extension by using Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404).

■Caller ID information does not display for ringing calls on lines programmed for Out Only or No Access.

Considerations

If a line is assigned to a phone, but is restricted to No Access, the line button lights show calling activity; but the line cannot be used to place or receive calls.
