Operator Notification
To prevent Account Code abuse, the system can notify the operator each time an Account Code vio-
lation occurs. This can happen if the user fails to enter an Account Code (if Forced) or enters a Veri-
fied Account Code that is not in the list. The notification is an automatic Intercom call to the
attendant and a "RESTRICT" message in the operator's display. (If the attendant fails to enter a valid
Account Code, the system drops the call.)
Account Codes for Incoming Calls
The system can control the ability of extension users to enter Account Codes for incoming calls.
When this option is enabled, a user can dial * while on an incoming call, enter an Account Code,
and then dial * to return to their caller. If the option is disabled, any digits the user dials after
answering an incoming call outdial on the connected trunk.
Hiding Account Codes
Account Codes can be optionally hidden from a telephone's display. This would prevent, for exam-
ple, an unauthorized co-worker from obtaining a Verified Account Code by watching the display
and making note of the digits that dial out. When hidden, the Account Code digits show as the char-
acter "*" on the telephone's display.
Account Code Capacity
Account Codes print along with the other call data on the SMDR record after the call completes.
Account Codes can be 1-16 digits in length using 0-9 and #. Verified Account Codes can be from
3-16 digits long.
Redialed Numbers Do Not Contain Account Codes
When using the Last Number Redial, Save or Repeat Dial features, the system will not retain
Account Code information. Any number redialed with these features, the user will need to reenter
an Account Code.
Note:
If a user enters *12345*203 926 5400*67890*, if the Last Number Redial feature is used, the sys-
tem dials the number as 203 926 5400*67890*. The *67890* is not treated as an Account Code.
(A.) If a user enters a code that exceeds the 16 digit limit, the system ignores the Account Code
entry.
(B.) If the system has Account Codes disabled, the digits dialed (e.g., *1234*) appear on the
SMDR report as part of the number dialed.
(C.) Do not use an asterisk within a PBX access code when using Account Codes. Otherwise, after
the *, the trunk will stop sending digits to the central office.
Account Codes are disabled.
