398 Charge Account, Forced
Meridian 1 proprietary telephones activate this feature by using a separate
Charge key/lamp pair. Any user can access this feature by dialing SPRE + 5.
A distinction is made between normal CDR Charge Account processing and
FCA. If all the following conditions are met, the account number is treated
as an FCA code:
•
•
•
•
•
The unrestricted Class of Service provided by FCA, as described above,
applies for the duration of the call only. The account number must be
reentered for each successive toll call placed by the station or trunk.
Operating parameters
An octothorpe (#) dialed after the account number indicates that the
subsequent digits are part of the dialed number.
CDR charge account numbers are fixed-length codes for which a maximum
value is specified by the customer. This is also the maximum allowed for
the FCA account number.
Because 500 telephones cannot dial an octothorpe (#), they are restricted
to fixed-length account numbers.
FCA does not apply to attendant calls.
Feature interactions
Autodial
Speed Call
FCA numbers (including the SPRE code and the Charge Account access
code) can be entered in Speed Call lists or stored as Autodial numbers. The
digits can also be stored, provided that the account number, regardless of
its length, is followed directly by an octothorpe (#).
