Paging
Loudspeaker paging cannot be accessed from outside the system
through DID lines or remote access.
Primary Rate Interface
(PRI) and T1
A PRI line that has been programmed for routing by dial plan should not
be programmed for remote access.
SMDR
Remote access calls are recorded only if SMDR is programmed to track
incoming calls. If a barrier code is entered, the barrier code number
(01–16) appears in the ACCOUNT field of the report, preceded by
999999
. If the caller uses remote access to dial an extension and the call
is answered, the extension number is shown in the STN (station) field. If
the call is not answered at the extension, the STN field is blank.
If the caller uses remote access to dial out on a line or trunk, the STN field
on the first SMDR record is blank and a second record is generated for
the outgoing call.
If no barrier code is required, the ACCOUNT field contains
99999900
.
In Release 3.0 and later systems, if a caller provides an invalid or
incomplete barrier code for 3 attempts, either
999999
or 16 zeros are
recorded in the ACCOUNT field. If the connection is broken before the
third attempt, the ACCOUNT field contains
999999
. If a caller hangs up
after the third attempt but before receiving reorder tone, the ACCOUNT
field may contain either
999999
or 16 zeros. If a caller hangs up after the
third attempt and after receiving reorder tone, the ACCOUNT field
contains 16 zeros.
System
Renumbering
If the system includes DID or dial-in tie trunks, the number assigned to the
line/trunk can be programmed for remote access. This allows remote
access users to call in on the DID or dial-in trunk.
The remote access code can be renumbered. The factory-set remote
access code is 889.
