Section 700 - Operation Chapter 7. SLT Features
576-13-700 DBS 576 (USA), Revised 6/11/98 251
Account Codes
CPC-96, CPC-288, and CPC-576 Version 1.0
Description
You can assign account codes to clients to facilitate billing and to track call dates and times, numbers
called, and outside line numbers used. This information is printed for each account on the System
Message Detail Recording (SMDR) record.
In addition verified account codes may be used to change the TRS level to allow calls to numbers
otherwise restricted.
Account codes may be either forced or unforced (voluntary) and either verified or unverified.
This feature works with Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR). Before making an outgoing call,
a station user can silently enter an accounting or client billing code. Then later, the SMDR reports will
show the Code dialed for each call, and even sort the report by these Codes.
There are two different types of account codes you can use in the DBS 576:
Non-Verified Account Codes
Non-Verified Codes aren’t checked by the system for validity; the user can enter anything from 1-10
digits long. Individual phones can be programmed to accept
forced
Account Codes
(the user must
enter a code for every call) or
voluntary
Account Codes
(the user can enter a code, but doesn’t have
to, for each call).
Non-Verified Account Codes can be assigned to outgoing calls. The user either enters the Code before
accessing an outside line (for
forced
or voluntary Codes).
Verified Account Codes
Verified Account Codes entered by phone users must match a 4-digit code that has been
preprogrammed into an Account Code Table. (It is possible to enter up to 10 digits for a Verified
Account Code; however, only the first 4 digits will be used to verify the code.) These codes can also
be either
forced
or
voluntary.
You can program these codes with their own Toll Restriction Service
(TRS) Class assignment so that, when entered, they will override the extension’s TRS Class. Thus,
Verified Account Code users can “float” from phone to phone, placing calls that would normally be
restricted on that phone.
Non-Verified Account Codes
Non-Verified Account codes are voluntary codes. (i.e., You do not have to enter an account code
before making a call.)
You can assign Non-Verified Account codes to outgoing calls only. To assign an account code to an
outgoing call, you enter the account code before making the call.
Operation
