Administrator’s Guide for the V500 System

Requiring an Account Number for Calls

If your system is set up for use with the Global Management System, the system can prompt you to enter an account number before placing a call. The account number is added to the Global Management System’s Call Detail Record (CDR), and this information can be used for call tracking and billing purposes.

If you configure the system to validate the account number, calls placed without a valid account number are not completed. If you do not configure the system to validate account numbers, calls are completed regardless of whether the account number is valid. Account numbers are set up in the Global Management System by the Global Management System administrator.

For more information about account validation, please contact your Global

Management System administrator.

To require an account number for calls:

1.Go to System > Admin Settings > Global Services > Account Validation.

2.Specify whether to require an account number for placing calls and whether that number should be validated by the Global Management System server.
