CONSIDERATIONS
ADMINISTRATION
Most businesses will be satisfied with the quick method of entering account
numbers on a call report. The general method is recommended for businesses
that have many accounts, or in which there is no central accounting
organization and users must invent their own codes.
This feature can be used only with outside calls; it cannot be used with
intercom calls.
If the system administrator has specified that the Call Report feature does not
report incoming calls, account codes can be entered only for outgoing calls.
There is a maximum of 16 characters available for an account number entry.
The system beeps twice to remind the administrator that he or she cannot dial
any more characters. If the administrator dials less than 16 characters, the
system does not beep.
The system administrator should give a copy of the System Speed Dial code
assignments to each person in the system who will use those codes.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
Before you assign a System Speed Dial code (#60 through #99) to a specific
account number, refer to the System Speed Dial Directory that you have filled
out.
To administer Account Number Entry codes:
1

Enter administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to P and touching
Administer.
Dial the 3-character code (#60 to #99) that you are assigning to the
account number. Make certain that you have not already assigned a
telephone number to that speed dial code.
Dial *88.
Dial the account number.
You can also use a client's telephone number as an account number. For
that purpose dial *88 and then dial the telephone number.
Touch Administer.
The console beeps twice.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each account number or telephone number to
which you are assigning a System Speed Dial code.
Leave administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to the center
position.
