Outgoing Call Restriction (#401)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies the types of outgoing calls that
can be made on all lines at an extension. See Dialing Restrictions and
Permissions for a summary of calling restrictions.
Related Features
■ This restriction also applies to lines that a user has access to with Direct
Line Pickup—Idle Line.
■ To override this feature, users can dial marked System Speed Dial
Numbers and numbers from an Allowed Phone Number List (#407) and
the Emergency Phone Number List (#406). Also, if a System Password
(#403) is defined.
■ You can program a button on the system phone at extension 10 to be used
to quickly change an extension’s Outgoing Call Restriction setting. See
Outgoing Call Restriction Button (#114) for information.
■ You can use Line Access Restriction (#302) to restrict extensions from
making or receiving calls on specific lines, Pool Access Restriction
(#315) to restrict extensions from making or receiving calls on all lines
belonging to a specific pool, and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404)
to specify telephone numbers that users cannot dial.
■ If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, the system checks for allowed and
disallowed phone numbers
again
beginning with the first digit after the star
code.
Considerations
■ While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection
against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones give you more
protection against such misuse than standard phones. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you install system phones where restricting
phone use is important.
■ If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and a dial-out code
(usually 9) is needed to place calls outside the PBX or Centrex system, the
control unit may not be able to prevent calls for extensions restricted to
Local Only. If dialing restrictions are needed on Centrex lines, use Centrex
restrictions instead.
■ If you want to restrict the use of star code s, include them in the Disallowed
Phone Number Lists.
