Account Codes

Account Codes are 4~15 digits in length and are often used for cost allocation. The codes are
printed on a Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) printout with other call details, so that the
customer can identify all calls associated with a specific account code.
Forced Account Codes can be required on selected CO lines, which forces the assigned stations to
enter those account codes. Stations without the Forced Account Code feature can voluntarily enter
account codes on any incoming or outgoing call over any CO line. While account codes can also
be entered on incoming calls, the entry cannot be forced on these calls.
The Strata DK14, DK40i, and DK424 systems can have up to 300 Verifiable Account Codes which
can be forced or voluntary. DK424 systems with RCTUE/F processors can have up to 500
Verifiable Account Codes.
Stations and CO lines can have one of four possible account code features:
Forced Account Codes
Voluntary Account Codes
Forced Verifiable Account Codes
Voluntary Verifiable Account Codes
If Verifiable Account Codes are forced, the Strata DK system verifies the code entered by the user
before it authorizes the call.
Verifiable Account Codes can be set up in two ways:
All digits in the code can be verified. With this method, 300 (or 500 with RCTUE/F) specific
account codes can be verified. For example, if a 4-digit code is used, the system can verify 300
specific 4-digit numbers. If a 9-digit code is used, the system can verify 300 specific 9-digit
numbers.
The first "portion" of the code can be verified. This enables 300 specific verifiable "prefixes,"
which can then enable thousands of "partially" Verifiable Account Codes. For example, with a
5-digit code, there could be 300 verifiable 3-digit prefixes:
100 _ _, which verifies 10000, 10001, 10002, ... 10099 (100 codes)
101 _ _, which verifies 10100, 10101, 10102, ... 10199 (100 codes)
102 _ _, which verifies 10200, 10201, 10202, ... 10299 (100 codes)

299 _ _, which verifies 29900, 29901, 29902, ... 29999 (100 codes)
Each of the 300 verifiable prefixes partially verifies 100 codes, for a total of 30,000 partially
verifiable codes. This is an important capability to ensure valid accounts are being used while
allowing freedom to use sub-accounts for specific allocation of the call.
