Program 17-nn : Forced Account Code
17-nn FAC CODE
__________ dd
nn = Forced Account Code (01-99)
FAC code (8 digits max.) Toll class: d(Day) d(Night)
General:
This program creates 99 Forced Account codes.
Description:
The use of forced account codes allows a station user to temporarily bypass the toll restrictions. If a Forced Account
Code is assigned to a station during system programming, it becomes the only code capable of bypassing that
station’s default toll restriction.
The forced account code can be up to eight digits in length. If the system is installed with a call accounting output the
entry for a call made using a forced account code will display the code used in the account column. The actual
numbers of the code will not be displayed for security reasons, the reading will show FAC:XX. XX is the forced account
code number 01 to 99.
The Forced Account Code will not be displayed on the screen of LCD equipped phones when it is entered.
Digit "d" is keyed in by [DND/CN] button and means "Any digit " ("don't care").
Digit "_" is keyed in by [TRF/FL] button and means "No digit ".
Clear all digits by pressing [TRF/FL] to insert a line in place of the original entry.
When entering an account code less than 8 digits in length, enter any remaining digits (up to 8) with “d” (don’t care
digits). So an entry for a forced account code of 1234 should be entered 1234dddd.
The last two digits dd are for toll class selection – Day and Night. The forced account code will open the call from the
stations normal class to the Class set for Day and Night.
First d: for Day time Toll Class.
Second d: for Night time Toll Class.
Caution:
Do not use Redial button to clear forced account code entries as this will insert "don't care" which will allow any digit
as a forced account code. This will effectively bypass all other account codes entered in the system. An entry of
“dddddddd” will cause any single digit to be accepted as a valid forced account code.
Forced Account codes are also used by the ACP (Access Control Phone) to unlock the door relay of the ACP or
system.
The Forced Account Codes may also be used as DISA passwords to allow call accounting to show which user was
making an external call using DISA from outside the system. Forced Account Codes 50 to 99 can be used for this
purpose. This feature will need to be enabled in Mode 05-11-02.
