Outgoing Call Restriction (#401)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies the types of outgoing calls that 
can be made on all lines at an extension. See ‘‘Dialing Restrictions and 
Permissions’’ on page 2-12 for a summary of calling restrictions.
Related Features
■
This restriction also applies to lines that a user has access to with Direct 
Line Pickup—Idle Line.
■
To override this feature, users can dial Marked System Speed Dial 
Numbers and numbers from an Allowed Phone Number List (#407) and 
the Emergency Phone Number List (#406). Also, if a System Password 
(#403) is defined, MLS-model system phone users can enter it to override 
restrictions.
■
You can program a button on the system phone at extension 10 to be used 
to quickly change an extension’s Outgoing Call Restriction setting. See 
Outgoing Call Restriction Button (#114) for information.
■
You can use Line Access Restriction (#302) to restrict extensions from 
making or receiving calls on specific lines, Pool Access Restriction 
(#315) to restrict extensions from making or receiving calls on all lines 
belonging to a specific pool, and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) 
to specify telephone numbers that users cannot dial.
■
If you program an extension for Forced Account Code Entry (#307), the 
user at that extension must enter an Account Code before accessing an 
outside line. (This feature is not available on standard phones.)
NOTE:
For ACS Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can 
dial numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without 
entering an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced 
Account Code extensions without entering the account code as long 
as 911 has been entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.
■
If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, the system checks for allowed 
and disallowed phone numbers 
again beginning with the first digit after the
star code.
Considerations
■
While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection 
against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones give you more 
protection against such misuse than standard phones. Therefore, we 
strongly recommend that you install system phones where restricting 
phone use is important.
