Toll Type 43
At a Glance 43
Description 43
The Toll Type setting allows the system to classify calls as either local or toll,
based on the number a user dials. The factory setting for Toll Type requires a user
to dial a toll prefix (
or) before dialing the area code and telephone number for
a toll call. In some areas, a toll prefix is not necessary. The factory setting for Toll
Type can be changed to specify that no toll prefix is required for these types of
lines/trunks.
Dialing a prefix depends on local telephone company requirements and the type
of line/trunk being used.
Considerations and Constraints 43
Toll Type does not apply to tie trunks or DID trunks. The local telephone company
must be consulted to determine which of the system’s lines/trunks require a toll
prefix.
Mode Differences 43
Hybrid/PBX Mode 43
Systems in Hybrid/PBX mode with ARS always require a user to dial
before
dialing a 10-digit toll call. Some 7-digit numbers may require dialing
as well.

Selection
In certain areas, the local telephone company requires dialing the prefix 1
for certain exchanges. In these cases, the exchanges can be assigned to
a 1 + 7 ARS table, and the 1 + 7 Dial setting must be set to Within Area
Code. This dialing requirement is not related to toll type.
