Making a Call with LCR Activated

Place the external call as normal by selecting a line or dialing a line access code (9, 760-769).
The system will not select a line until sufficient digits are dialed to allow the system to select the
appropriate line or substitute the appropriate digits.
You will notice that a line is not selected until the system has received sufficient digits and that if you
select a line the system can choose a different one depending on the code dialed.

ACCOUNT CODES

A programming option can be set which allows codes of four digits to be associated with external calls,
both incoming and outgoing, and these codes are presented on the Call Logging output. Two options are
available. The first is that the entry of account codes is optional and the user can choose to enter the code or
not. The second option is forced and in this case the user must enter the code before they can make an
external call.
