18Account Code - Forced/Verified/UnverifiedDescriptionAccount Codes are user-dialed codes that help the system administrator categorize and/or restrict trunkcalls. The system has two types of Forced Account Codes:Forced Account Codes (Unverified)Forced Account Codes require an extension user to enter an Account Code every time they placea trunk call. If the user does not enter the code, the system prevents the call. As with AccountCodes, the extension user can elect to enter an Account Code for an incoming call. However, thesystem does not require it. Forced Account Codes do not block emergency assistance (911)calls.Once set up in system programming, you can enable Forced Account Codes trunk-by-trunk. Inaddition, Forced Account Codes can apply to all outside calls or only long distance calls. ForcedAccount Codes for Toll Calls restricts calls according to the following chart:Number of DigitsDialed If first digit is not 1 If first digit is 11~3 Not allowed Not allowed4~7 Does not require Account Code Requires Account CodeMore than 7 Does not require Account Code Requires Account Code800 and 888 Does not require Account Code Does not require Account Code011 (International) Requires Account Code N/A911 Does not require Account Code N/AVerified Account CodesWith Verified Account Codes, the system compares the Account Code the user dials to a list of upto 2000 programmed codes. If the Account Code is in the list, the call goes through. If the codedialed is not in the list, the system prevents the call. Verified Account Codes can have 3~16 digitsusing the characters 0~9 and #. During programming, you can use “wild cards” to streamlineentering codes into system memory. For example, the entry 123@ lets users dial Verified AccountCodes from 1230 through 1239.Operator NotificationTo prevent Account Code abuse, the system can notify the operator each time an Account Codeviolation occurs (Program: 20-13-20). This can happen if the user fails to enter an Account Code (ifForced) or enters a Verified Account Code that is not in the list. The notification is an automatic Intercomcall to the attendant and a RESTRICT message in the operator display.Account Codes for Incoming CallsThe system allows extension users to enter Account Codes for incoming calls. When this option isenabled, a user can dial * while on an incoming call, enter an Account Code, and then dial * to return totheir caller. If the option is disabled, any digit the user dials after answering an incoming call outdials onthe connected trunk.Hiding Account CodesOptionally, Account Codes can be hidden from a telephone display. This prevents, for example, an
