Changing Calling Restrictions - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 3.1 System Manager's Manual

Changing Calling Restrictions

Programming Instructions
See the appropriate procedures in System Programming as noted in the task list
above.
Changing Calling Restrictions
Use this procedure to change individual extensions' calling restrictions to one of
the following:
Unrestricted
Restricted from making all outgoing calls
Restricted from making toll calls
NOTE:
In Release 3.1 and later systems, checking for calling restrictions is reset after
entered star codes pass those restrictions (in some areas, star codes are
provided by the central office to allow the use of special features available from
the local telephone company). In earlier releases, the star code digits were
processed as dialed digits by ARS, Allowed Lists, Disallowed Lists, and calling
restrictions. Therefore, the actual called party number was not properly
processed when a star code was entered. For more information about star
codes, see "Revising Allowed Lists" later in this chapter.
Planning Guidelines
Changing calling restrictions may affect other features, including Allowed Lists,
Auto Dial, Automatic Route Selection (ARS), Callback, Conference, Coverage,
Disallowed Lists, Display, Extension Status, Forward and Follow Me, Night
Service, personal lines, Pools, Speed Dial, and SA/ICOM buttons. For more
information, see the Feature Reference .
NOTES:
1. You can copy restrictions from another extension as described in "Copy Call
Restrictions" in the "Optional Telephone Features" section of Chapter 3 in
System Programming .
2. In Release 3.1 and later systems, ports programmed for voice messaging
systems (VMI ports) are factory-set as outward-restricted. To permit
outcalling from a voice messaging system, you must change this restriction.
