Calling Restrictions 4
If you and your Lucent Technologies representative planned for calling restrictions
as part of the initial setup of the system, the settings required for these calling
restrictions are already in place. However, you may wish to change these settings
or set restrictions and privileges for new users or new lines/trunks. There are
several methods you can use to limit outgoing toll calls:
■ Toll and Outward Restrictions. Limit toll and outside calls by individual
extensions or remote access users, or on pools or trunks.
■ Allowed/Disallowed Lists. Allow some calls when calling restrictions are
in effect or disallow certain calls when restrictions are not applied.
■ Night Service Exclusion List and/or Emergency List. Allow some calls
when Night Service with the Outward Restriction option is used.
■ Pool Dial-Out Code Restriction (Hybrid/PBX Only). Restrict specific
pools. This can be used to reserve certain pools for specific purposes, for
example, for data communications.
■ Facility Restriction Levels (Hybrid/PBX Only). Automatic Route Selection
(ARS) allows Facility Restriction Levels (FRLs) to be applied to both
outside trunks and extensions for the most reliable control of toll calling.
In Release 3.1 and later systems, a system programming feature allows you to
help guard against toll fraud when star codes are dialed under certain
circumstances. Star codes, typically dialed before an outgoing call, provide
Table 4–10. Continued
Feature Covered by Description Example
Shared
SA
Buttons One or more
individuals Hybrid/PBX only. Allows people
who share an SA button (SSA
buttons) to answer calls for the
principal user (SA button). Users
can join each other’s calls, but
Privacy can prevent this. The
principal user controls ringing at
SSA buttons. A supervisor answers
questions with the
participation of her group.
When she is not able to take
a call, they cover for her.
This feature is especially
useful because the people in
this group do not have many
line buttons available for
programming.
Shared
Prime
Line One or more
individuals Behind Switch mode only.
Allows people who share a
prime line to cover calls for each
other. Privacy is not available to
prevent joining of calls (Ring
Timing Options can be adjusted
to avoid confusion.) Does not
allow covering of calls on ICOM
buttons. See the example above. In
this company, each
representative has his or
her own prime line and
transfers are handled by the
Centrex system.
