Page 120Calling Restrictions
NOTE:
In Release 6.0 Version 11 and later systems, the FRL of the VMI port must
be equal to or greater than the FRL of the UDP route. See the
Network
Reference
for details.
If the system manager wants to allow access to the voice messaging system
Outcalling feature, the FRL applies to Outcalling calls.
SECURITYlALERT:
!
Any changes to the FRL and other restrictions of VMI ports must be
considered carefully in order to minimize the potential for toll fraud.
If the system manager changes a VMI port to a non-VMI port, the FRL is not
reassigned on the port. If the default FRL should be changed, the system
manager must change it through system programming.
Remote Access 3
Outward/toll and FRL calling restrictions can also be applied to remote access
users. These calling restrictions can be applied to each individual barrier code (up
to 16) or, if barrier codes are not used, to all remote access tie/DID trunks and all
remote access non-tie/non-DID trunks. See “Remote Access” on page 578
for
additional information. For Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode
only), refer to the
Network Reference
for additional information for private
networks.
Night Service 3
Other calling restrictions can be applied when Night Service is activated. Night
Service can be set up to require that a password be dialed before a
non-emergency number can be dialed. When the correct password is entered, the
system then checks for calling restrictions assigned to each extension before
allowing calls to outside numbers.
A Night Service Exclusion List can be created to exempt specific extensions from
the password requirement. However, normal calling restrictions (if any) assigned
to the extension 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 “Night Service” on page 442
for
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.
