Account Code Calls
Account Codes (Forced or Voluntary) can be used for a variety of reasons including
billing, tracking, and line restriction applications. Account Codes are assigned in the
system as a fixed length (default is six digits) and are recorded by the system, along
with the details of the calls, which can be printed on a Station Message Detail
Recording (SMDR) report.
Verified/Non-Verified Account Codes
If programmed for Verified Account Codes, the system checks the account code you
entered against a list created by the CTX System Administrator. The code you enter
must be on the list for the call to proceed. Non-verified account codes must be of a
uniform length specified by the CTX System Administrator.
Forced Account Codes
Some applications require you to enter an Account Code. These Forced Account
Codes may be verified or non-verified, depending upon the application, but in either
case, the caller must enter a code before proceeding.
➤ To dial using Forced Account Codes
1. Place a call in the normal method.
If the call requires an Account Code, a burst of tone (Success Tone) is heard after
dialing the telephone number alerting you to enter the Account Code.
2. Enter the account number.
When the number of digits designated for account codes has been entered, the
number will be checked against the verified list, if chosen, and the call will
continue as normal. If the number of digits entered for the account code is not
reached or the verified code does not match, then re-order tone is heard and the call
is rejected.
You can bypass Forced Account Code requirements with three emergency numbers,
including 911. See your CTX System Administrator for these numbers:
