Single-Line Telephones 0
By default, single-line telephones in Behind Switch mode cannot use Account
Code Entry or Forced Account Code Entry. If this feature is to be used, the
single-line telephone must be programmed through Idle Line Preference to select
an SA or ICOM button so that the user hears inside dial tone when the handset is
lifted for an outgoing call.
Single-line telephones must have touch-tone dialing to use the Account Code
Entry feature. When a single-line telephone user hears inside dial tone, the user
can activate the feature by dialing
.
Single-line telephone users cannot enter account codes by using System Speed
Dial or Personal Speed Dial because these features are activated by dialing
.
Pressing
completes the entry of an account code and cannot also be used to
activate the Speed Dial features.
Feature Interactions 0
Authorization Code If an account code is not entered, the ACCOUNT field of the SMDR
printout contains the authorization code used to obtain restriction
privileges. If an account code is entered at any time during a call, the
account code is stored in the SMDR record.
Auto Dial Often-used account codes can be put on outside Auto Dial buttons.
Automatic Line
Selection
A single-line telephone user can enter account codes only if Automatic
Line Selection is programmed to select an SA or ICOM button when the
user lifts the handset.
Automatic Route
Selection
When ARS is used, enter an account code before or after dialing the
telephone number. If Forced Account Code Entry is assigned, enter the
code before dialing the ARS dial-out code.
Callback Enter an account code before activating Callback. Otherwise, the account
code cannot be entered until after the call connects. Account codes
cannot be entered while the call is queued.
Conference Enter a separate account code for each added outside conferee.
Coverage When answering calls on a programmed Cover button, a receiver cannot
enter an account code. An account code must be entered from the
sender’s telephone. If the receiver tries to enter an account code, no error
tone sounds, but the account code does not appear on the SMDR report.
Because Cover buttons are not required when a QCC queue is
programmed as a receiver for a coverage group, a QCC operator can
enter account codes, which appear on the SMDR report.
Digital Data Calls
Account codes can be entered for calls made by digital data workstations
and by video systems that support the use of # for feature codes. The
account code must be entered before the telephone number.
