NEC SL1000 - Account Code Entry

Account Code Entry
Description
Account Codes are user-dialed codes that help the System Administrator categorize and/or restrict
trunk calls. Optional Account Codes allow a user to enter an Account Code while placing a trunk call
or anytime while on a call. The system does not require the user to enter the optional account code.
Account Codes for Incoming Calls
The system can control extension user ability to enter Account Codes for incoming calls. When this
option is enabled, a user can dial
*
while on an incoming call, enter an Account Code, and then dial
*
to return to their caller. If the option is disabled, any digit the user dials after answering an incoming
call outdials on the connected trunk.
Hiding Account Codes
Account Codes can be optionally hidden from a telephone display. This prevents, for example, an
unauthorized co-worker from obtaining a Verified Account Code by watching the display and making
note of the digits that dial out. When hidden, the Account Code digits show an
*
on the telephone
display.
Account Code Capacity
Account Codes print along with the other call data on the SMDR record after the call completes.
Account Codes can have 1~16 digits using 0~9 and #.
Redialed Numbers Do Not Contain Account Codes
When using the Last Number Redial, Save or Repeat Dial features, the system does not retain
Account Code information. To redial any number with these features, the user must enter an Account
Code.
If a user enters
*
12345
*
203 926 5400
*
67890
*
, if the Last Number Redial feature is used, the system
dials the number as 203 926 5400
*
67890
*
. The
*
67890
*
is not treated as an Account Code.
Conditions
• If a user enters a code that exceeds 16 digits limit, the system ignores it.
• If the system has Account Codes disabled, the digits dialed (e.g.,
*
1234
*
) appear on the SMDR
report as part of the number dialed.
• Do not use an asterisk in a PBX access code when using Account Codes. Otherwise, after the
*
,
the trunk stops sending digits to the central office.
• Account Codes appear on the SMDR report (even if they are hidden on the telephone display).
• To simplify Account Code Entry, store the Account Code (e.g., 1234) in a One-Touch Key, and
Press the key instead of dialing the code.
• Speed Dialing bins can contain stored Account Codes. Prevent them from being displayed using
PRG 20-07-04.
• When Account Codes are enabled, the user must press the
*
three times before the
*
character is
passed to the Telco. The system recognizes the initial
*
as the beginning of an Account Code entry,
the second
*
as the end of an Account Code entry, and the third
*
is passed to Telco.
