INTER-TEL AXXESS
10.147Trunk groups are often programmed as "not subject to toll restriction" to allow station
users to have access to reduced-cost long distance carriers [private wires in Europe], or to use
ringdown lines, dictation machines, voice mail systems, and/or other auxiliary equipment.
When programming unrestricted trunk groups, one of five call cost factors can be selected to
designate calls as free, local, toll local, toll long distance, or operator, international - station, or
international operator [local, national, operator, or international in Europe]. The selected call
cost is then used for all calls that are placed using that trunk group.
10.148Note that whether or not a trunk is marked as "subject to toll restriction," dialing is not
required to hold the trunk. For example, when a user seizes a line to make an outgoing call (via
any method), if there is an incoming call on the line for which ring-in had not yet been
detected, the user can talk with the incoming caller without dialing any digits. (That is, the call
will not be dropped when the Dial Initiation timer expires.) However, if the trunk is marked as
"subject to toll restriction" and the user attempting to make the outgoing call dials one or more
digits before realizing that there is an incoming call, and the digits dialed represent a restricted
number for the station and trunk group being used, the call will be dropped (unless the "Drop
Incomplete Outgoing Calls" flag is disabled as described on
In other words, the system has protection for "glare" situations between incoming and outgo-
ing calls, but the protection is overridden if the outgoing caller dials a restricted number.
Trunk Group Exemption from ARS Only
10.149A trunk group may be designated as "exempt from Automatic Route Selection (ARS)
Only." This allows users with the ARS-Only class of service (see COS 01 on
directly select specified trunk groups by pressing the appropriate trunk group buttons or by
entering the appropriate trunk group access codes.
10.150This capability is necessary if trunks are connected to auxiliary equipment, such as ana-
log voice mail systems, dictation equipment, or ring-down lines [private wires in Europe].
When such trunks are designated as exempt from ARS Only, stations with the ARS-Only COS
(and allowed access) can use the special facilities.
10.151The default assignment for all trunk groups is "not exempt from ARS Only." This
means that, by default, stations with the ARS-Only COS are denied direct access to the trunk
groups.
Area/Office Code Numbering Plans and Local Area Codes (U.S. Only)
10.152If any office codes in the local area code have a 0 or 1 as the second digit, the local
office codes are probably used as area codes elsewhere, and the system requires special pro-
gramming to allow toll restriction to work properly. During System-Wide Information DB Pro-
gramming, the programmer can specify the following non-standard numbering plan

Office Codes Used as Area Codes: Area codes in other locations are the same as office
codes within the system site's area code.
Area Codes Used as Office Codes: Office codes within the system site's area code are
the same as area codes assigned to other areas.
Local 7/10 Digit Dialing: When this flag is enabled, outgoing calls are identified as
having reached the end of dialing if the first digits are not a toll field, equal access field,
or a local area code. This function speeds up placement of local seven-digit calls in an
area where some local calls require ten digits.
