Directories An MLX-20L telephone user can program an account code as a listing in
a Personal Directory. Enter the code from the display by activating
Account Code Entry and choosing the directory entry with the code.
Display
When the Account Code Entry feature is activated, the
$&&7 message on
the display prompts the user to enter the account code. The account code
digits are shown next to the prompt as they are dialed.
Forward and
Follow Me
Extensions assigned Forced Account Code Entry can forward calls only
to extensions and not to outside numbers. The user hears a fast busy
signal if he or she tries to forward a call to an outside number.
HotLine HotLine extensions (Release 5.0 and later) cannot use account codes.
Personal Lines When Forced Account Code Entry is assigned to an extension and the
user tries to dial an outside call on a personal line button without entering
the account code, the call does not go through.
Pools When Forced Account Code Entry is assigned to an extension and the
user tries to dial an outside call on a Pool button without entering the
account code, the call does not go through.
Primary Rate Interface
and T1
At an extension assigned to a PRI line, either enter an account code
before the call is made or during the call. Forced account codes must be
entered before calling. An account code entered before a call is dialed is
treated as a restriction code for
all
the outgoing calls placed over the PRI
line.
Remote Access Account codes cannot be entered on calls made using Remote Access.
SMDR The account code is printed in the ACCOUNT field of the SMDR record. If
SMDR is programmed for outgoing calls only, an account code cannot be
entered for an incoming call.
Speed Dial Personal Speed Dial or System Speed Dial cannot be used to dial
account codes because the
used to access the speed dialing signals an
exit from the Account Code Entry feature.
Transfer When a call is transferred, the destination extension cannot change an
account code entered at the originating extension.
UDP Features In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), account codes
entered on the local system are reported by SMDR. Account codes can
be entered for private network calls. When Forced Account Code Entry is
programmed, a user can still dial a non-local extension without entering
an account code.
