DSX Product Description Features ◆ 21FeaturesFeaturesIntroductionHow To Use This ChapterThis chapter provides detailed information on the system’s features. The features in this chapterare in alpha-betical order, like a dictionary.Account CodesAccount Codes are user-dialed codes that help categorize and/or restrict outside calls. Account Codes arefrom 2-10 digits long, using any combination of the digits 0-9. There are three types of Account Codes:❥ Optional (Unforced Account Codes)❥ Forced Account Codes❥ Verified Account CodesOptional (Unforced) Account CodesOptional Account Codes allow a keyset extension user to enter an Account Code while placing an outsidecall or any time while on a call. This type of Account Code is optional: the system does not require the userto enter it. If the keyset user is already talking on an outside call, their conversation continues uninterruptedwhile they enter an Account Code.Single line telephone users can only enter an Account Code while placing their outside call.Forced Account CodesForced Account Codes require an extension user to enter an Account Code every time they place an outsidecall. If the user doesn’t enter the code, the system prevents the call. The system can require Forced AccountCodes for all outside calls, or just for toll calls (as determined by Toll Restriction programming). Note thatForced Account Codes do not pertain to incoming calls.Verified Account CodesWith Verified Account Codes, the system compares the Account Code the user dials with a list of codes pro-grammed into the Verified Account Code Table. If the Account Code is in the table, the call goes through(provided it is not prevented by an extension’s Toll Restriction programming). If the code is not in the table,the system prevents the call. Verified Account Codes, if enabled, apply only to Forced Account Codes.Use Account codes to categorize and/or restrict outside calls.
