Account Code Forced/Verified/Unverified
Description
Account Codes are user-dialed codes that help the system administrator categorize and/or restrict
trunk calls. The system has two types of Forced Account Codes:
• Forced Account Codes (Unverified)
Forced Account Codes require an extension user to enter an Account Code every time they place a
trunk call. If the user does not enter the code, the system prevents the call. As with Account Codes,
the extension user can elect to enter an Account Code for an incoming call. However, the system
does not require it.
Once set up in system programming, you can enable Forced Account Codes on a trunk-by-trunk
basis. In addition, Forced Account Codes can apply to all outside calls or just long distance calls.
Forced Account Codes for Toll Calls restricts calls according to the following chart:
Table 1-2 Forced Account Codes
Number of Digits Dialed If first digit is not 1 If first digit is 1
1~3 Not allowed Not allowed
4~7 Allowed - does not require Account
Code
Allowed - requires Account Code
More than 7 Allowed - requires Account Code Allowed - requires Account Code
800 and 888 Allowed - requires Account Code Allowed - does not require Account
Code
011 (International) Allowed - requires Account Code N/A
911 Allowed - does not require Account
Code
N/A
• Verified Account Codes
With Verified Account Codes, the system compares the Account Code the user dials to a list of up to
800 pre-programmed codes. If the Account Code is in the list, the call goes through. If the code
dialed is not in the list, the system prevents the call. Verified Account Codes can have 3~16 digits
using the characters 0~9 and #. During programming, you can use “wild cards” to streamline
entering codes into system memory. For example, the entry 123@ lets users dial Verified Account
Codes from 1230 through 1239.
Operator Notification
To prevent Account Code abuse, the system can notify the operator each time an Account Code
violation occurs (PRG 20-13-20). This can happen if the user fails to enter an Account Code (if
Forced) or enters a Verified Account Code that is not in the list. The notification is an automatic
Intercom call to the attendant and a RESTRICT message in the operator display.
Account Codes for Incoming Calls
The system allows extension users 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 digits the user dials after answering an incoming call outdial
on the connected trunk.
Hiding Account Codes
Account Codes can be optionally hidden from a telephone display. This would prevent, for example,
an unauthorized co-worker from obtaining a Verified Account Code by watching the display and
