Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)
Description
This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users can
dial regardless of other dialing restrictions, as long as they have access to an
outside line. For example, if you restrict an entire category of calls through
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404), you can permit calls to a specific
number in that category by placing that number on an Allowed Phone Number
List. Using this procedure, you can create up to eight lists of up to 10 telephone
numbers each.
Related Features
■ After completing this procedure, you must use Allowed List Assignments
(#408) to assign the Allowed Phone Number Lists to specific extensions.
■ Allowed Phone Number Lists override Disallowed Phone Number Lists
(#404) and Outgoing Call Restriction (#401), but not Line Access
Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) or Night Service
Button (#503) with a System Password (#403). (There are other ways of
overriding restrictions—see Emergency Phone List Numbers (#406), and
System Password (#403) for more information.)
■ The entries you must make to permit or restrict long-distance calls differ
depending on the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the
system whether a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial calls)
is required when users make long-distance calls.
■ If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, after a valid star code is dialed,
the system resets the dialing restrictions to check the number beginning
with the first digit after the star code.
Considerations
■ Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard
character (by pressing the
h button on a system phone) to match any
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).
■ If you are restricting an extension from placing long-distance calls, do not
place numbers beginning with a “0” on an Allowed Phone Number List for
the extension. Once a user is active on an operator-assisted call, the user
will be able to avoid dialing restrictions by asking the operator to dial
restricted numbers.
■ If you want to go to another programming procedure when entering phone
numbers in a list, you must use
N or P to do so since
entering
# and a three-digit code will be considered data for the telephone
number.
