Calling Restrictions
A Night Service Exclusion List can be created to exempt specific extensions from
the password requirement. Normal calling restrictions (if any) assigned to the
extension, however, are still in effect. A Night Service Emergency Allowed List can
also be created, which can contain up to 10 numbers that can be dialed without
entering the Night Service password. See
additional information. For Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode
only), if Night Service is programmed with outward restriction, the restriction does
not apply to non-local dial plan calls. Exclusion lists apply only to the local
system's extensions and do not apply to UDP calls.
Considerations and Constraints
In Hybrid/PBX mode, a user on an outward-restricted extension can receive a
PSTN call, or can make or receive a private network call (Release 6.0 or later
systems). Such an extension cannot be used to make an ARS call, except to
emergency numbers. See
information.
Only outgoing calls are affected; users can receive inside, local, and toll calls on
restricted extensions and can join any type of call in progress.
When a user with an outward-restricted extension presses the dialpad while on a
call, the call is disconnected, a fast busy signal sounds, and the line/trunk is
released. The system assumes that the user is trying to make an outside call,
which is not allowed because of the outward restriction assigned to the extension.
Users with Pool buttons on their telephones can use the pool even if the pool
dial-out restriction is assigned to the extension.
Outward and toll restriction do not work with tie trunks or with T1 lines emulating
tie trunks that are set to tie-PBX. ARS or pool dial-out codes should be used to
restrict these types of line/trunks.
Because calling restrictions apply to extensions used to initiate a transfer to an
outside number, a user with a restricted extension can circumvent restrictions by
asking an operator with an unrestricted console to connect an outside call.
When a marked System Speed Dial code is used to dial a number, the System
Speed Dial number overrides calling restrictions (such as outward or toll
restrictions).
!
SECURITY ALERT:
The use of loop-start lines without reliable disconnect may result in toll
fraud.
