Emergency Override of Forced Account Code Dialling Requirements
Forced Account Code requirements can be bypassed by three emergency numbers, including 999. See
your system administrator for these numbers:
Verified Account Codes
Some Strata CT systems verify the numbers entered when you enter Forced or Voluntary Account
Codes. These are called Verified Account Codes.
Voluntary Account Codes
Voluntary Account Codes are optional and can be entered anytime after accessing an Exchange line or
during a call.
An exception is a Voluntary Account Code which is required to change the Toll Restriction
classification of your station. The code gives you access to telephone numbers outside your usual
dialling area and must be entered prior to dialling the telephone number. As an example, if your
station is restricted to local area calls, you can make out-of-state calls by using a Voluntary Account
Code set in system programming.
If the system is set for Verified Account Codes, you must enter specific codes when entering the
Voluntary Account Code(s) or the code is not validated for the SMDR call report.

To record a voluntary account code
1)
999 2) 3)
1. After accessing an Exchange line or
talking on a line, flash the hookswitch
or press your recall button.
You hear dial tone and the Exchange line is on Hold.
2. Press
#46
. You hear dial tone or if you were talking, a one-way speech
path is connected: you can hear the caller, but they can’t hear
you nor the account code entry.
3. Enter the Voluntary Account Code.
One sound burst confirms a verified
code. If you hear two burst tones
(invalid code), repeat Steps 1~3.
Voluntary Account Codes must be entered during the call. Dial
tone stops after the first telephone number digit is dialled.
If you enter the code after accessing an Exchange line, you are
either reconnected to the outside caller or you hear dial tone.
