Page 123Calling Restrictions
Forward and
Follow Me
A user with an outward- or toll-restricted extension cannot forward calls to
a number (outward or toll) unless the number is on an Allowed List for that
extension. No error tone sounds when a user with a restricted extension
activates the Forward feature; however, when a call is received at the
extension, the system checks restrictions and denies the forward if the
number is not on the Allowed List.
HotLine Calling restrictions can be applied to HotLine extensions (Release 5.0
and later systems).
Night Service For Night Service with outward restriction, a Night Service Emergency
Allowed List must be created; it consists of emergency numbers that can
be dialed from any extension without dialing the password (10 emergency
numbers, 9 digits each). Any restrictions assigned to an extension on the
Night Service Exclusion List are in effect when Night Service is activated.
In Release 6.0 and later systems, Night Service restrictions do not apply
to UDP calls.
Personal Lines A user at an outward-restricted extension cannot dial a restricted number
(outward or toll) on a personal line unless the number is on an Allowed
List for that extension.
Pools Specific pools can be restricted from being used for outgoing calls by
assigning a pool dial-out code restriction to extensions.
Primary Rate Interface
and T1
Outward and toll restrictions do not work with T1 lines emulating tie trunks
when the lines are set to Tie-PBX or Tie Switched 56 Data. Use ARS or
pool dial-out codes instead.
Recall/Timed Flash If Recall is used on a personal line or Pool button—or, in Release 2.0 and
later systems, on an SA or ICOM button—to access an outside loop-start
line, the accessed line is kept, the user hears outside dial tone, and
calling restrictions are reapplied.
Service Observing In Release 6.1 and later systems Service Observers that are Outward or
Toll restricted can still observe outside calls.
Speed Dial A user with an outward- or toll-restricted extension cannot dial a restricted
number by using Personal Speed Dial or System Speed Dial (excluding a
marked System Speed Dial code), unless the number is on an Allowed
List for that extension. However, using a marked System Speed Dial code
does
override the calling restrictions.
System Access/
Intercom Buttons
For Shared SA buttons, calling restrictions apply to the extension with the
SSA button, not to the principal user.
UDP Features In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), toll/outward
restrictions, Night Service restrictions, and the prohibition of trunk-to-trunk
transfers do not apply to calls made to extensions in the non-local dial
plan.
Dial access to pools should not be permitted for pools of private trunks.
