Description
4
0
The Toll Type setting allows the system to classify calls as either local or toll,
based on the number a user dials. The factory setting for Toll Type requires a user
to dial a toll prefix (
1
or
0
) before dialing the area code and telephone number for
a toll call. In some areas, a toll prefix is not necessary. The factory setting for Toll
Type can be changed to specify that no toll prefix is required for these types of
lines/trunks.
Dialing a prefix depends on local telephone company requirements and the type
of line/trunk being used.
Considerations and Constraints
4
0
Toll Type does not apply to tie trunks or Direct Inward Dial (DID) trunks. The local
telephone company must be consulted to determine which of the system’s
lines/trunks require a toll prefix.
