Marked System Speed Dial Numbers can be dialed from any extension.
System Speed Dial numbers are telephone numbers that a user can dial

automatically by pressing [

Feature

] (or [

#

] on a standard phone), followed

by a two-digit code. “Marking” a System Speed Dial number when the
number is programmed lets any user in the system dial it, overriding any
equipment dialing restrictions for the extension.

System Password (#403) creates a password that, when entered at any

MLS-model phone, overrides equipment dialing restrictions for the
duration of a call. This means that a person who knows the password
can make a call from a restricted extension. If you define a System
Password, turning on Night Service also restricts calling for the Night
Service Group. See page 4-13 for details on Night Service.

You can use the following procedure to override all equipment dialing

restrictions, except Line Access Restriction and Night Service with a System
Password:

Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407) allows you to create lists of
numbers that specific extensions are allowed to dial. Even if an

extension’s settings for Outgoing Call Restriction and Disallowed Phone

Numbers would normally prevent the extension from dialing a number,

defining the number as an Allowed Phone Number lets the extension dial
it. (For example, if you put 900 numbers on a Disallowed List but want
users to be able to call a specific 900 technical support hotline, put that
number in an Allowed List.) For information on entering telephone
numbers into lists, see “Entering Telephone Numbers into Lists” on page
4-18. (For programming information, see page 5-12.)

The equipment controller stores as many as four different Allowed
Lists of up to 10 numbers each. After creating Allowed Lists, use the
Allowed List Assignments (#408) procedure to assign one or more of
the lists to a specific extension.

Entering Telephone Numbers into Lists

This section explains how to enter telephone numbers into Disallowed Phone

Number Lists, Allowed Phone Number Lists, and an Emergency Phone Number
List.

To store a telephone number, dial the number as you would normally; but leave
out the dial-out code if you must normally dial one to place outside calls.
However, for toll calls you should include a toll call prefix such as 1 or 0 (if you
must dial one to place toll calls) and the area code.

For example, to prevent all calls to a specific area code, you need only enter the
toll call prefix and the area code in a Disallowed List. When a user at an
extension to which the list is assigned tries to dial a number in that area code,
the user hears a reorder tone (fast busy signal) as soon as they dial the area
code, before they have a chance to dial the rest of the number.

When you store a telephone number in a list, you can also use the “wildcard”
character to stand for any single digit in a phone number. To enter the wildcard
character, press [

Hold

]; the wildcard appears as “!” on the telephone display.

For example, if you want to prevent users from placing calls to any numbers
beginning with 202, 212, 222, 232, 242, 252, 262, 272, 282, and 292, you can
enter each number in a separate list entry, or you can combine them into one
