Call Restrictions and Allowed Lists Directory
OUTWARD RESTRICTED
TOLL RESTRICTION
You can use call restrictions to prevent some or all voice terminals from
making outside calls (both local and long distance) or from making long
distance calls. Then you can use allowed lists of numbers and/or special speed
dial codes to permit restricted voice terminals to call specified telephone
numbers, local exchanges, or area codes. By combining call restrictions with
selected exceptions, you can control your outgoing call traffic and costs
without placing unreasonable constraints on the people in your business.
(Both allowed lists and system speed dial codes are explained in detail later in
this section of the manual.)
NOTE: Call restrictions do not affect a voice terminal's ability to
receive incoming calls or to make intercom calls.
Some people in your business may have little need to make any outside calls,
either local or long distance. You can place an outward call restriction on their
voice terminals during system administration, and the system will ignore
attempts to dial outside telephone numbers from those voice terminals. Then
if you want these people to be able to make local calls in business or personal
emergencies, you can assign them an allowed list of local exchanges and,
perhaps, emergency numbers such as 911 when you assign the call restrictions.
You can also use system speed dial codes with restriction override (called
passwords in some telephone systems) to allow restricted voice terminals to call
selected local or long distance telephone numbers. You simply mark the
numbers for restriction override and store them in the system's memory under
speed dial codes when you administer the system. Then anyone in your
system, including those with restricted voice terminals, can use the speed dial
codes to call the stored numbers.
Under "Call Restrictions" on the form . . .
Put a check mark in the "Outward Restricted" column next to the
intercom numbers for the voice terminals you want to place outward
restrictions on when you administer the system.
Some people in your business may need to be able to call any local telephone
number but have little need to make long distance calls. You can place a toll
call restriction on their voice terminals. The system will allow local calls from
those voice terminals but ignore attempts to dial long distance numbers.
Then if there are certain areas of the country these people have to call on
business, you can set up an allowed list of those long distance area codes and
assign the list to the toll restricted voice terminals when you administer the
system. You can also mark selected long distance telephone numbers for
restriction override and store them under speed dial codes in the system's
memory. Then anyone in your system, including those with toll restricted
voice terminals, can use the speed dial codes to dial those long distance
numbers.
