Toll Control
What's this?
Toll Control (or Toll Restriction) is an expense control feature of ETERNITY NE. It enables you to program the
system so that each extension has a designated calling permission referred to as 'Call Privilege'.
Each type Call Privilege allows the extension to call certain areas and restricts it from calling others. The extension
can also be restricted from the dialing of specific telephone numbers.
The ETERNITY NE supports the following types of Call Privileges:
• No Calls: Dialing of all external numbers is restricted. Only internal (extension-to-extension) calls are
allowed.
Only the numbers programmed in Global Directory Part I will be allowed to be dialed out, if the directory is
allowed in the “Class of Service (COS)” of the extension.
• Local Calls: Dialing of outgoing calls to Local area numbers, in addition to internal calls, is allowed. It is
possible to restrict calls to certain local numbers. To apply this Call Privilege, you must configure the list of
Local numbers.
• Regional Calls: Dialing of outgoing calls to regional numbers is allowed, in addition to internal and local
calls. It is possible to restrict calls to certain regions. To apply this Call Privilege type, you must configure
the list of Regional numbers.
• National Calls: Dialing of domestic, long-distance numbers within the country is allowed, in addition to
internal and regional calls. You can also restrict calls to certain parts of the country. To apply this Call
Privilege type, you must configure the list of National numbers.
• All Calls: Dialing of all types of numbers—local, regional, national, international—is allowed, without any
restriction.
• Limited Calls: Dialing of only specific Telephone numbers (regional, national or international) is allowed.
By applying this Call Privilege type, you can allow and restrict dialing of telephone numbers starting with a
particular digit, or a particular area code, or certain telephone numbers only. To apply this Call Privilege
type, you must program a list of the Limited numbers that are to be allowed and numbers that are to be
restricted. You can configure three such Limited number lists
Toll Control forms the basis of the features “Dynamic Lock” and “Call Budget”.
Using “Dynamic Lock”, extension users can change the Toll Control (Call Privilege) of their extensions on their own.
The Operator or System Administrator can also change the Toll Control of the extension using Dynamic Lock. To
support this feature, ETERNITY offers fours levels of Toll Control, from 0 to 3.
When the “Call Budget” feature is used on extensions, it becomes necessary to define the calling permission for
extensions that have consumed their allotted budget. To support this feature, ETERNITY offers Toll Control-Call
Budget Consumed.
