Account Code Forced/Verified/Unverified
Description
Account Codes are user-dialed codes that help the system administrator categorize and/or restrict
trunk calls. The system has two types of Forced Account Codes:
• Forced Account Codes (Unverified)
Forced Account Codes
require an extension user to enter an Account Code every time they place a
trunk call. If the user does not enter the code, the system prevents the call. As with Account Codes,
the extension user can elect to enter an Account Code for an incoming call. However, the system
does not require it.
Once set up in system programming, you can enable Forced Account Codes on a trunk-by-trunk ba-
sis. In addition, Forced Account Codes can apply to all outside calls or just long distance calls.
• Verified Account Codes
With Verified Account Codes, the system compares the Account Code the user dials to a list of up to
800 pre-programmed codes. If the Account Code is in the list, the call goes through. If the code di-
aled is not in the list, the system prevents the call. Verified Account Codes can have 3~16 digits using
the characters 0~9 and #. During programming, you can use “wild cards” to streamline entering
codes into system memory. For example, the entry 123@ lets users dial Verified Account Codes from
1230 through 1239.
Operator Notification
To prevent Account Code abuse, the system can notify the operator each time an Account Code viola-
tion occurs (Program: 20-13-20). This can happen if the user fails to enter an Account Code (if Forced)
or enters a Verified 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 display.
Account Codes for Incoming Calls
The system allows 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 display. This would prevent, for example, 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
*
on the telephone
display.
Account Code Capacity
Account Codes print along with the other call data on the SMDR record after the call completes.
Account Codes can have 1~16 digits using 0~9 and #. Verified Account Codes can have 3~16 digits.
Redialed Numbers Do Not Contain Account Codes
When using the Last Number Redial, Save or Repeat Dial features, the system does not retain
Account Code information. Any number redialed with these features, the user needs to reenter an
Account Code.
If a user enters
*
12345
*
203 926 5400
*
67890
*
, if the Last Number Redial feature is used, the system dials
the number as 203 926 5400
*
67890
*
. The
*
67890
*
is not treated as an Account Code.
