Account Code Entry
Station users may enter an account code (maximum 12 digits) before hanging up from a call.
This account code will appear in the SMDR printout for that call record. Keyset users may
enter this code using an account code key without interrupting a conversation. Single line
telephone (SLT) users must temporarily interrupt the call by hook-flashing and dialling the
feature access code. Manually entered account codes can be up to 12 digits long. In some
cases, users can be forced to enter an account code and this account code may or may not
be verified as described below.
Forced (Verified)
When set for this option the user must enter an account code for all outgoing calls. The account code
entered will be verified from a system list of 999 entries. Forced (Verified) codes can contain the digits
0–9.
Forced (Not Verified)
When set for this option, the user must enter an account code for all outgoing calls, but the account
code is not verified against the system list. Non-verified account codes can contain the digits 0–9 and
#.
Voluntary
In this case, account codes are not required to make outgoing calls but may be used if desired. This is
also the method used to assign an account code to incoming calls. These account codes can contain
the digits 0–9 and #.
Account Code Key—One Touch
The account code (ACCT) key can be programmed on any keyset. This key can be
programmed with an extender and operates in three different ways, depending on the
extender, as follows.
Extender = 000
When programmed with an extender of 000, pressing the key prompts the
user to enter an account code without interrupting a call.
Extender = 001–999
When programmed with an extender ranging from 001 to 999,
pressing the key will automatically insert the account code entered for that number. This is
known as One-Touch account codes. This option can be denied in system programming to
prevent users from bypassing the security of system account codes.
No Extender
When programmed without an extender, pressing the key will prompt the user
to enter the number in the system account code table where the account code is stored.
All Call Voice Page
Users can page all internal and all external paging zones at the same time by dialling the All
Page code. Keysets may be restricted from making or receiving pages in system
programming. A maximum of 99 keysets can be programmed in each internal page zone to
receive page announcements.
NOTE: Forced codes can be overridden for emergency calls if required. See
