Call Restriction

DESCRIPTION
CONSIDERATIONS
ADMINISTRATION
5-48 MERLIN Plus System Features
When the system is first installed, people can use their voice terminals to place
intercom, local, and toll calls. However, the system administrator can assign
either of two types of call restrictions for selected voice terminals:
Outward Call Restriction restricts voice terminals so that only intercom
calls can be placed.
Toll Call Restriction restricts voice terminals so that only intercom and
local calls can be placed.
Even if a voice terminal has Outward Call Restriction, the person can bridge
onto calls in progress, answer incoming calls, and place and receive intercom
calls.
If the outward call restrictions arc too limiting, the administrator can designate a
list of numbers that individuals may call beyond the established restrictions.
(See "Allowed Lists.")
If the administrator decides to store a System Speed Dial code with Restriction
Override, all voice terminals in the system can use the code as a type of
password that allows the person to access the outside number, regardless of toll
or outward call restrictions previously placed on the voice terminal.
(See "System Speed Dial.")
If there are two or more voice terminals in the system that will have the same
restrictions, the administrator can use the Copy feature to copy these restrictions
from one voice terminal to another. (See "Copy.")
When administering call restrictions, the system administrator can use the
Automatic Call Restriction Reset feature to ensure the integrity of the assigned
restrictions. (See "Automatic Call Restriction Reset" in this section.)
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
