Appendix A.
ACCOUNT CODES
General
A. I. This Appendix provides a general description of account codes and their operation.
Description
A.2 Account codes uniquely identify SMDR call records for billing purposes. Two types of
account code length options (fixed length and variable length) can be programmed in
the System Options form during Customer Data Entry. A fixed length account code is
preprogrammed to be of a length between 4 and 12 digits. A variable length account
code can be of any length between 1 to 12 digits. Variable length account codes must
be terminated by a terminator digit as described in the following paragraph. When no
account code length is specified during CDE programming, the default length is six
digits.
The Verifiable Account Code feature is an option of SMDR which provides unique
codes with assigned COS and/or COR options. Dialing averifiable account code (which
has been assigned a COS or a COR) will override the COS and/or COR currently
assigned to a telephone. A new SMDR record is generated each time a new verified
account code is entered.
Account Code Terminator
A.3 The variable length account code terminator is the # digit. It is dialed at the end of a
variable-length account code to indicate to the system that the account code is
complete. A variable length account code cannot be dialed from rotary telephones
since it is impossible to dial the terminator digit. If variable length is enabled, rotary
telephone sets default to 6-digit account codes. The terminator is not required should
a variable length account code of the full 12 digits be dialed.
Forced Account Codes
A.4
COS Option 200, Account Code, Forced Entry - External Calls, may be assigned to
stations in order to bar trunk access from those stations, unless the access attempt is
preceded by a valid account code. COS Option 201, Account Code, Forced Entry -
Long Distance Calls, may be assigned to stations in order to bar certain long distance
calls (identified in the ARS Digit Strings CDE form), unless the access attempt is
preceded by a valid account code.
