CHAPTER 4 - STATION FEATURES

OVERVIEW

This chapter describes the many features that end-users can perform on ICX station phones. Some of
the most popular functions are highlighted below. A complete list of Station Features is included at the
end of this chapter.

ACCOUNT CODE CAPABILITY

Description:
This feature works with Station Message Detail Recording (Call Logging). During a phone call, a
station user can silently enter an accounting or client billing code. The entered Code will display
on the phone's LCD as it's dialled, so the user can tell it's being registered. Then later, the Call
Logging reports will show the Code dialled for each call, and even sort the report by these
Codes.
There are two different types of account codes you can use in the ICX:
Non-Verified Account Codes
Non-Verified Codes aren't checked by the system for validity; the user can enter anything
from 1-10 digits long. Individual phones can be programmed to accept forced Account Codes
(the user must enter a code for every call) or voluntary Account Codes (the user can enter a
code, but doesn't have to, for each call).
Non-Verified Account Codes can be assigned to incoming and/or outgoing calls. For
incoming calls, the user can enter the Code one-time during the call. For outgoing calls, the
user either enters the Code before accessing an outside line (for forced Codes), or one-time
during the call (for voluntary Codes).
Verified Account Codes
Verified Account Codes entered by phone users must match a 4-digit code that has been
preprogrammed into an Account Code Table. (It is possible to enter up to 10 digits for a
Verified Account Code; however, only the first 4 digits will be used to verify the code.) These
codes can also be either forced or voluntary. You can program these codes with their own
Toll Restriction Service (TRS) Class assignment so that, when entered, they will override the
extension's TRS Class. Thus, Verified Account Code users can "float" from phone to phone,
placing calls that would normally be restricted on that phone.
