Considerations

■
■
Inside Only is useful for phones in reception areas or other public rooms
where you want to prevent anyone using the phone from making outside
calls. It is also useful for prohibiting calls from warehouse extensions, or
from extensions that should be used only for receiving orders.
While dialing restrictions are very effective, absolute protection against
misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones give you more protection
against misuse than standard phones. Therefore, we strongly recommend
that you install system phones where restricting phone use is important.
If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and a dial-out code
(usually 9) is needed to place calls outside the PBX or Centrex system, the
system will not be able to prevent toll calls for extensions restricted to Local
Only, since the PBX or Centrex system cannot distinguish between toll and
local calls. If your PBX or Centrex system includes dialing restrictions, use
those instead of Outgoing Call Restriction (#401). If you have PBX or
Centrex dialing restrictions on a line and also use Outgoing Call Restriction
(#401), both the PBX or Centrex system and this restriction may apply.
