Account Code Calls
Entered before or after a call, Account Codes can be used for a variety of reasons including
billing, tracking, and line restriction applications. Account Codes are recorded by the system
and can, along with the details of the calls, be printed on a Station Message Detail Recording
(SMDR) report.
Forced Account Codes (Verified/Non-Verified)
Some applications require that you enter a Forced Account Code before dialing a telephone
number. There are Verified and Non-Verified Account Codes. If the system is set for Verified
Account Codes, you must enter specific verified codes or the call does not execute. Verified
Account Codes are established in system programming or by designated stations.
You can bypass Forced Account Code requirements with three emergency numbers, including
911. See your System Administrator for these numbers.

To use a Forced Account Code
Voluntary Account Codes (Verified/Non-Verified)
Voluntary Account Codes are optional and are used to track calls for client billing purposes.
They can be entered after accessing a CO Line or during a call. An exception is a code which
is required to change the Toll Restriction classification of your station. This voluntary code
gives you access to telephone numbers outside your usual dialing area and must be entered
prior to dialing the telephone number. For example, if your station is restricted to local area
calls, you can make out-of-state calls by using a Voluntary Account Code set in system
programming.
If the system is set for Verified Account Codes, you must enter specific verified codes when
entering the Voluntary Account Code or the code is not validated for the SMDR report.
1. Access a CO Line.
You hear dial tone after accessing the line.
Note
If you used LCR, you will not hear dial tone.
2. Enter the Forced
Account Code.
Dial tone stops after entering the first digit. If the account Code
is valid, you hear dial tone again. If the code is invalid, you
hear a busy tone.
3. Dial a telephone
number.
