Account Codes

Account Codes are user-dialed codes that help categorize and/or restrict outside calls. Account Codes are from 2-10 digits
long, using any combination of the digits 0-9. There are three types of Account Codes:
• Optional (Unforced Account Codes)
•

Forced Account Codes

• Verified Account Codes
Optional Account Codes allow you to enter an Account Code while placing an outside call or any time while on a call. This
type of Account Code is optional: you do not have to enter it. If you are already talking on an outside call, your conversation
continues uninterrupted while you enter an Account Code.
Forced Account Codes require that you enter an Account Code every time you place an outside call. If you don't enter the
code, the system prevents the call. The system can require Forced Account Codes for all outside calls, or just for toll calls.
Note that Forced Account Codes do not pertain to incoming calls.
With Verified Account Codes, the system compares the Account Code you enter with a list of codes stored in the system's
Verified Account Codes table. If the Account Code is in the table, your call will go through (provided Toll Restriction doesn't
block the call). If the code is not in the table, the system prevents the call. Verified Account Codes, if enabled, apply only to
Forced Account Codes.

Optional (Unforced) Account Codes

• For keysets, Optional Account Codes apply to both incoming and outgoing calls. For outgoing calls, you can
enter the Account Code before or after dialing the outside number.
• For Single Line sets, Optional Account Codes apply only to outgoing calls. You must enter the Account Code
after getting dial tone on the line but before dialing the outside number.
To enter an Optional (Unforced) Account Code:
1. Place or answer outside call.
2. Press your
Account Code Feature Key
3. When your display shows Enter Account Code, enter the Account Code.
a) An Account Code can be up to 10 digits long, using the digits 0-9.
4. Press an
Account Code Feature Key
5. For outside calls only: Dial your outside number.
a) Toll Restriction may still prevent you from dialing certain outside numbers.
b) If the number doesn't dial out within 6 seconds, your system probably has Store and Forward enabled. Just
dial to have the call go through.
