O. TOLL RESTRICTION
10.144The following features provide toll restriction on the Inter-Tel system. (They are
described in further detail in this section.)
•
Trunk Group Toll Restriction: Designates a trunk group as "subject to toll restriction"
or "not subject to toll restriction" in DB Programming. If subject to toll restriction, sta-
tion class of service is checked when the trunk group is selected for placing an outgoing
call.
•
Exemption From ARS-Only Restriction: Designates each trunk group as "exempt
from automatic route selection (ARS) only." If exempt, station users with the ARS-
Only class of service can select the trunk group directly.
•
Absorbed Digits: Allows trunk groups that are subject to toll restriction to "absorb"
(ignore) the first digit(s) dialed. This allows the system to handle the dialed digits just
as they would be by the local telephone company or PBX to which the system is con-
nected.
•
Station And Trunk Group Classes Of Service: Restricts or allows certain digit pat-
terns when an outside call is dialed. (Trunk group COS is not checked when ARS is
used.)
•
Toll Strings: Allow the programmer to define dialing patterns which are abbreviated to
single character "wildcards." These programmable wildcards are used frequently in the
toll restriction class of service programming and in other system areas such as ARS
route group programming, trunk group absorbed digits programming, and others. Note
that changing these dialing patterns will affect all of the areas where they are used.
Trunk Groups Subject to Toll Restriction
10.145Each trunk group can be designated as "subject to toll restriction" or "not subject to toll
restriction" in DB Programming. All trunk groups are subject to toll restriction when the sys-
tem is in the default state.
•
When a station user selects a trunk group that is designated as "subject to toll restric-
tion," the system checks the database for that station's class of service, and call cost is
determined by the digits that are dialed (see
•
When a trunk group is chosen that is "not subject to toll restriction," the station's COS
is not checked (except ARS-Only restriction).
10.146The exceptions to trunk group toll restriction are as follows:
•
Emergency Call Feature: Uses the designated trunk access code to seize a trunk and
dials the programmed emergency number regardless of any station or trunk group toll
restrictions. (See
•
Automatic Route Selection (ARS): Designates all calls using ARS (except Emergency
Call feature calls) as always subject to toll restriction, regardless of the selected trunk
group's toll restriction programming. Note that only the station's COS is checked; the
trunk group's COS is not.
•
Network ARS Calls: Determines toll restriction for an ARS outgoing call by checking
the station toll restriction based on the database information on the node on which the
station resides, not the node that contains the trunk which the system uses to place the
call. The system does not check the trunk COS for ARS calls.
