Programming & Using Telephone Features
Account Code Entry (F12)
8-3
■
Use Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to identify system telephone extensions that are
required to enter an account code prior to dialing any outside number (including those on the
Emergency Phone Number List). A forced account code must be entered at the beginning of
a call; however, a different account code can be entered any time during the call.
■
You can use Forced Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid account codes, which
should be distributed to the appropriate users. If a Forced Account Code List exists, the
system checks the list whenever a user enters a forced account code. If the code is valid, the
system provides the user access to an outside line. If the code is invalid, the system denies
the user access to an outside line.
■
For faster entry of frequently used account codes, you can program an account code on an
Auto Dial button or as a System or Personal Speed Dial number (but not as a Marked
System Speed Dial number). See
“Auto Dialing” on page 8-5 , “System Speed Dial” on page
4-63 , and “Personal Speed Dial” on page 8-63 for programming instructions.
