Calling Restrictions; Forced Account Code Entry - AT&T MERLIN LEGEND Release 3.1 System Planning Manual

Assigning Features to Data Stations

Calling Restrictions

When the system is first set up, all data stations are restricted. This means that
only inside (intercom) calls may be made, local and long-distance calls may not
be placed from any data station. However, you can unrestrict selected data
stations to allow local and long-distance calls.
Planning Form Instructions
Use the Optional Features section of Data Form 1a or 1b for each data station to
record your decisions. Under the Call Restriction heading, do one of the
following:
If you do not want calling restrictions for this data station, check the
Unrestricted box.
If you want the data station restricted from making any outside calls,
check the Outward Restrict box (factory setting).
If you want the data station restricted from making long-distance calls
(intercom and local calls can be made), check the Toll Restrict box.

Forced Account Code Entry

The Forced Account Code Entry feature is used for billing or for tracking data
calls by requiring data extension users to enter account codes (1 to 16 digits)
for outside calls. Assign this feature to data stations so that you can associate
outgoing data calls with specific client accounts.
NOTE:
Account codes cannot be used to track incoming calls to data stations.
Planning Form Instructions
To record your decisions, use the Optional Features section of Data Form 1a or
1b for each data station. Under the Forced Account Code Entry heading, do
one of the following:
If the user must enter an account code for outgoing calls, check the Yes
box.
If you do not want the feature assigned to the data station, check the No
box (the factory setting).
