specific account so that they can be tracked and billed to the
appropriate departments. When this option is selected, you
cannot make a call without first entering an account number.
This account number is saved in the GMS server database along
with information specific to the call. Typically, the GMS
administrator assigns the account number.
❑
Validate Account Number —This option is visible if the
Require Account Number to Dial option is enabled. The
account number is validated before the first call is attempted.
The entry of a valid account number allows calls to be made for
the next five minutes. After that, an account number must be
re-entered. If you enter an account number, make a call, and
then try to add a call more than five minutes later, you will
again be prompted for an account number. If this account
number is not valid, the pending call is not made and the call
you had been in for the last five minutes is hung up. Account
numbers are validated by the system whose IP address is the
first entry in the GMS monitoring URLs list. If that IP address is
incorrect or that system fails to respond, no calls can be made.
❑
Global Managers URLs (Select Server URLs) —Select this
option to access the Global Managers URLs screen.
Accessing Global Management Server URLs
The Global Management URLs screen lists the GMS servers that
remotely manage your system. When you are registered with the
GMS, this information is automatically displayed on this screen. In
some instances, you may add GMS server IP addresses manually.
