Allowed Lists

ADMINISTRATION
5-6 MERLIN Plus System Features
When the system is installed, people can use their voice terminals to place
intercom, local, and toll calls. However, the system administrator can restrict
any voice terminal to intercom or local calls. (See "Call Restriction.")
If restricted voice terminals require additional calling access, the administrator
can designate a list of numbers (an Allowed List) that people may call despite
the established restrictions.
Allowed Lists help you control the cost of your monthly phone bill, but still
allow you to place all the business calls you need from any voice terminal in
your system.
The administrator may decide to stem one or more System Speed Dial codes
with Restriction Override. All voice terminals in the system can use those codes
as a type of password that allows the person to dial certain outside numbers.
Those numbers may be called regardless of toll or outward call restrictions
previously placed on a voice terminal. (See "System Speed Dial.")
The system administrator can establish eight Allowed Lists for the system.
They are numbered 01 through 08 and each can have a maximum of 10 entries,
numbered 01 through 10. Each entry may consist of a toll prefix, if necessary
(1 or 0), an area code (for example, 201), and/or an exchange code (for example,
834), and/or emergency numbers (for example, 911). When the administrator
has dialed the maximum eight digits for an Allowed List entry, the system beeps
twice to remind the administrator that he or she cannot dial any more digits.
If the administrator dials fewer than eight digits, the system does not beep.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
Before you administer Allowed Lists for your system, refer to the Allowed List
Form that you have filled out.
To setup an Allowed List:
Enter administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to P and touching
1
Administer.
Dial a * and a 2-digit code (01 through 08) that corresponds to the number of
2
the list.
For example, to add an entry to List 5, dial *05.
Dial the 2-digit number of the item in the Allowed List (between 01 and 10).
3
For example, to add an entry to List 3 as the first item on the list, dial *03 01.
Dial the number, toll-prefix and area code if necessary, or exchange to be
4
added to the list (maximum eight digits).
For example, to add the 201 area code with the toll-prefix, and 834 exchange
to List 2 as the seventh item on the list, dial *02 07 1 201 834.
