388 Charge Account and Calling Party Number
The Charge Account feature is not supported for internal calls. A Charge
Account number entered through the Charge key/lamp pair is blocked for
established internal calls.
Charge Account can be used to charge an entire conference call or portions
of the call. Portions of the call are assigned to different accounts by
entering the account number when adding trunks to a conference, before
the conference is completed.

The charge record shows the identity of the user who made the entry and
the trunk that was added to the call. If the new call is not added to the
conference, the record shows a simple two-party call.
An entire call is charged to the same account by entering the charge
number while active on the conference. When using Meridian 1 proprietary
telephones, press the Charge key and enter the number in the usual
manner. When using analog (500/2500 type) telephones, enter the number
after a switchhook flash.
The call is reestablished without dialing additional trunks; a record is
produced for each trunk involved in the conference. In all these records, the
telephone user entering the number is considered the originating party.
When an entire call is charged to only one account number, it must be
entered while all trunks are connected to the conference.
Calling Party Number (CPN) is an extension of Charge Account that allows
entry of the calling party's number on collect calls. Meridian 1 proprietary
telephones are assigned a separate Calling Party Number (CPN) key/lamp
pair to activate this feature. When the calling party's number is entered,
a Calling Party Number (CPN) record is produced. This record may be
compared to a telephone company billing for collect calls. Calling party
numbers can be up to 23 digits, and may include an asterisk (*) and
octothorpe (#). A CPN record is generated on the Call Detail Recording
(CDR) device similar to a normal Charge record.
Operating parameters
A valid charge account number is recognized when the number of dialed
digits matches the account length, or when the octothorpe (#) indicates
end of dialing. After a valid charge account number has been entered, the
system returns a dial tone.
