Outgoing Call Restriction Button (#114)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies a button on the system phone at
extension 10 to be used to change the current Outgoing Call Restriction setting for
an extension.
This button is useful for quickly changing an extension’s restriction. For example,
after a guest’s departure, a hotel manager can change the Outgoing Call
Restriction setting of the room phone from No Restriction to Inside Only so
outside calls cannot be made from the phone after the guest checks out.
Conversely, a receptionist can change the Outgoing Call Restriction setting of a
conference room phone from Local Only (which prevents users from making long
distance calls) to No Restriction so a client can dial long distance.
Related Features
Rather than using an Outgoing Call Restriction button, you can use
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to change an extension’s Outgoing Call
Restriction setting through System Programming if you prefer.
You must use an Auto Dial button with lights to designate the extension you
want to change after you press the Outgoing Call Restriction button. It is
recommended that you use an Auto Dial button on the PARTNER-CA48
Intercom Autodialer. However, you can use an intercom Auto Dial button on
the system phone at extension 10 provided the button has lights. For
information about programming Auto Dial buttons, see ‘‘Auto Dialing’’ on
page 5-17.
Considerations
An Outgoing Call Restriction button must be programmed on the system
phone at extension 10.
Outgoing Call Restriction must be programmed on a button with lights. This
feature does not work if it is programmed on a button lights.
The system considers extension 10 busy while you are using the Outgoing
Call Restriction button, and the phone acts as if it is in System
Programming mode. You cannot use other features or handle calls at
extension 10 until you are through using the feature.
You cannot use the Outgoing Call Restriction button to change an
extension’s setting while extension 11 is in System Programming mode.
