Limiting What Users Can Do With the System

You can limit what you allow users to do with the system by configuring the
following:
• Maximum Time in Call — If you want to specify the maximum time a call
can last, go to System > Admin Settings > General Settings > System
Settings > Call Settings and enter the maximum call length allowed.
• Allow Mixed IP and ISDN Calls — (VSX 3000, VSX 3000A, VSX 5000,
VSX 7000, VSX 7000s, VSX 7000e, VSX 8000) If you do not want to allow
mixed protocol calls on your system, go to System > Admin Settings >
General Settings > System Settings > Call Settings and clear this option.
• Allow Directory Changes — If you do not want users to save changes to
the local directory of the system, go to System > Admin Settings >
General Settings > System Settings > Directory and clear this option.

Using the System for Specialized Applications

You can customize the system to show only a specific set of numbers to call.
This mode, also known as "kiosk mode," can be used for specialized
applications, such as customer query stations or systems used for calling the
same numbers on a regular basis. Kiosk mode requires little or no training and
instructions can be incorporated into the screen design.
See Designing the Home Screen
mode and its applications.
