Restricting Access to Outside Lines
A user can access a line either by lifting the handset, pressing the line button on
the phone, or dialing the Direct Line Pickup feature code. If you do not want a
user to access a specific outside line, you can use
Line Access Restriction
(#302)
to control an extension’s access to a certain line (whether the line is
assigned to the extension or not). Table 2-1 provides examples of settings that
can be used to restrict an extension’s access to a specific outside line.
NOTE:
If
Forced Account Code Entry (#307)
is programmed for an extension, that
extension is required to enter an account code
before dialing an outside number
on
all of the lines assigned to that extension—even those on the
Emergency
Phone Number List (#406)
. If the
Forced Account Code List (#409)
contains
entries, the system checks the account code against the list. If the account
code is on the list, line access is allowed; if not, line access is denied.

If a line is not assigned to the extension, a user can use Direct Line Pickup to access the line. Emergency
numbers, Marked System Speed Dial numbers, Allowed Phone numbers, and numbers dialed using the
System Password override all dialing restrictions if a user has access to an outside line to place the call. If
Forced Account Code Entry is programmed for an extension, the user must enter an account code before
accessing an outside line. If there are entries in the Forced Account Code List, the entered account code
must match an entry on that list.
