Calling Restrictions
If the system manager wants to allow access to the voice messaging system
Outcalling feature, the FRL applies to Outcalling calls.
SECURITY
l
ALERT:
!
Any changes to the FRL and other restrictions of these ports must be
considered carefully in order to minimize the potential for toll fraud.
If the system manager changes a VMI port to a non-VMI port, the FRL is not
reassigned on the port. If the default FRL should be changed, the system
manager must change it through system programming.
Remote Access
3
Outward/toll and FRL calling restrictions can also be applied to remote access
users. These calling restrictions can be applied to each individual barrier code (up
to 16) or, if barrier codes are not used, to all remote access tie/DID trunks and all
remote access non-tie/non-DID trunks. See
for
additional information.
Night Service
3
Other calling restrictions can be applied when Night Service is activated. Night
Service can be set up to require a password to be dialed before a non-emergency
number. When the correct password is entered, the system then checks for calling
restrictions assigned to each extension before allowing calls to outside numbers.
A Night Service Exclusion List can be created to exempt specific extensions from
the password requirement. However, normal calling restrictions (if any) assigned
to the extension are still in effect. A Night Service Emergency Allowed List can
also be created, which can contain up to 10 numbers that can be dialed without
entering the Night Service password. See
for
additional information.
Considerations and Constraints
3
In Hybrid/PBX mode, an outward-restricted extension cannot be used to make an
ARS call except to emergency numbers. See
‘‘Allowed/Disallowed Lists’’ on page
for additional information.
Only outgoing calls are affected; users can receive inside, local, and toll calls on
restricted extensions and can join any type of call in progress.
When a user with an outward-restricted extension presses the dialpad while on a
call, the call is disconnected, the user hears a fast busy signal, and the line/trunk
is released. The system assumes that the user is trying to make an outside call,
which is not allowed because of the outward restriction assigned to the extension.
Users with Pool buttons on their telephones can use the pool even if the pool
dial-out restriction is assigned to the extension.
