Program 69 Overview
Verified Account Codes (VACs) may be added, deleted, or changed with Program 69. Each
Verified Account Code can be 1~15 digits long, but cannot exceed the Account Code length
requirement set in Program 60-4.
Account Codes may not conflict with (be the same as) emergency numbers in Program 44-91~93.
The following programs and options should be considered when establishing Verified Account
Codes.
Account Code Digit Length
Program 60-4 sets the digit length that must be dialed for all Account Codes: Forced (Verified/
Nonverified) and Voluntary (Verified/Nonverified).
Full and Partially Verified Account Codes
Verified Account Codes can contain the same number of digits (full Verified Account Code) or less
(partially Verified Account Code) than the length set in Program 60-4.
If the quantity of digits in a VAC is the same as the Account Code digit length in Program 60-4,
then all digits will be Verified; if the quantity of digits is less, then only those digits will be
verified. Stations must have LED 14 On in Program 30 to use Verified Account Codes.
If partially verified, the first part of the Account Code is verified and the remainder is not. For
example, if VAC 2734 is set in Program 69, but the digit length is set to eight in Program 60-4,
then the user must dial 2734 plus any other four digits to enter a partially Verified Account Code.
There are many applications for partially VACs. For instance, using the code in the example
above, the numbers 2734 could be the user’s dial restriction code and the remaining four digits
could be a customer-client code, a sales order, etc.
Verified Account Code Toll Restriction Assignments
A Toll Restriction Class can be assigned with Program 70 to each of the 300 VACs. This feature
can be used to change a telephone’s Class of Service to allow long distance calls from restricted
telephones only when a verified account code is entered before dialing the long distance number.
These calls will be recorded with the account code on the system SMDR output.
Verified Account Code Dial Requirement
Assigned on a station-by-station basis in Program 30, LED 14 On. All Account Codes dialed
(Forced or Voluntary) from stations assigned in this program will be verified.
Code Change
Stations selected in Program 30, LED 15 On, can change VACs by dialing the following:
[PDN] +
+ ~ + VAC + 5HGLDO
Verified Account Codes: Forced/Voluntary Program Options
Any station can dial a VAC after accessing a CO line—by pressing the
6SHHG'LDO + (DK14,
DK40, RCTUA~C/D, B1CU, B2CAU/BU and B3CAU/BU),
6SHHG'LDO + (RCTUE/F and
B5CAU/BU),
or by pressing the $FFRXQW&RGH button. Forced Account Code requirements are
assigned via station and line program options: stations are assigned in Program 30, LED 08 On;
and lines are assigned in Program 15-7. Stations must dial VACs when assigned in Program 30,
LED 14 On. Direct Inward System Access (DISA) callers that access outgoing lines can be
required to enter Verified Account Codes with Program 30 (LED 08 On for Port 99).
