Account Code (System Parameters)Account codes are used to identify calls by category, so that the
system can record costing by that category. You can arrange the
system to force the user to enter an account code and have the system
verify it before it allows the user to make a call. Turn on the account
code feature for the entire system using this procedure. Also, enable or
disable system verification of the entered code. If you enable
verification, the system compares the account code entered by a
station user with the programmed account code entries that you have
assigned. If the system does not find a match and you have enabled
the forced account code feature through station class of service, the
system prevents any further dialing until the user enters a matching
account code. If you have not enabled verification, the system does
not check the entered account code for a match. See section 10.3 for
further account code programming details.
Account Code Display And Account Code Display Time
As a feature to LCD speakerphone users, a message appears in the
telephone’s display to prompt the user to enter an account code during
incoming and outgoing calls. If the system does not require such a
prompt (for example, because the account code feature is disabled),
turn off the prompting message display with this programming
operation. If the system does require the prompting display and you
enable it using this procedure, also set the length of time that the
prompt shows on the user’s display. See section 10.3 for further
account code programming details.
NOTE: When the account code display is on, the user must enteran account code within the display time when he or she is
making an outgoing call; otherwise, the system will drop
the line.
Account Code LengthAn account code can be a minimum of three digits or a maximum of
16 digits. Use this procedure to set the number of account code digits.
See section 10.3 for further account code programming details.
NOTE: If you change the account code length, you will delete
all currently programmed account codes.

Use this programming feature to provide the system attendant with the
ability to delete SMDA records from the system memory.
SMDABMDR Printer Port
Use this programming feature to determine the serial data port through
which the system will route its generated 
SMDALSMDR.
Report OptionYou can arrange for the 
SMDRLSMDA parameters to convey either
the cost of calls that the stations make or the amount of time that lines
have been on hold at the stations.
SMDR RecordWhen you enable this feature, the system stores SMDR records for the
specified line (see section 8.7, SMDR Record for Lines, for more
information).

Automatic
Reports (SMDA)Program the system to automatically provide call cost reports for
printing.- Choose the day and time that the printout is desired.
- Choose the type and detail of each report.
- Dictate whether the call records are to be erased from the system
memory after they are printed.
The SMDA feature allows the system to store various call records and
generate reports of these records for printout. These reports include
either station, line, account codes, or all of the above. When the
system generates a station report, it will generate a separate report for
any and all stations that have had outside call activity.
lThe station report shows all calls that the station user has made
and received along with totals and averages. Line reports show the
totals for each active line in the system.
lThe line report shows the number of calls, total minutes busy,
number of incomplete calls, and cost for each line. The line report
also summarizes line group activity as well.
lThe account code report provides the same information as the
station report except the records are based upon each account code.
lThe all record report sends all stored SMDA records to the serial
data port. This report is not in groups as is the station, line or
account code reports but rather is in a chronological order.
You can view the number of free records or you can delete all stored
SMDA records to insure that only the latest SMDA reports are being
stored or to provide a known starting port for record storage.
NOTE: If your programming terminal shares the same port as yourdata printer and you command it delete all records, the
system will not take this action until you log out of the VDT
programming mode.In addition to this manual report command, you can also request the
system to generate reports automatically on a timed basis. You or the
system user can employ the system manager and attendant
programming procedure to request reports at a programming station.
Finally, the system will automatically generate an automatic report
when its memory nears its saturation point (95 percent full).
NOTE: 
If you select the delete records option and your VDT is
installed in the printer port, the system will not delete the
SMDA records until you log out ffom the programming
mode.I

							Add, Remove, Display Account CodesUse this procedure to assign up to 1000 account codes (each up to 16
digits in length-see Section 
10.3.3). Alternately, use this procedure
to remove previously assigned account codes from the system. Add or
remove one account code at a time or an entire block of account codes
all at once. To assign numbers that user’s can dial without entering an
account code, refer to section 10.4.
Account Code (For Class Of Service)
After you have enabled the account code feature for the system, set its
parameters, and programmed its list of account codes into the system,
turn the feature on for a station class of service and make it either
forced or optional. If you make it a forced account code, the user must
enter an account code before the system will let him or her dial the
number for an outgoing call. Also, on incoming calls a user must enter
an account code before the system will allow him or her to make any
future outgoing calls (see section 6.2, Account Codes, for more
information).

Authorization
CodeWhen the system requires an account code, a telephone user must
enter it before the system allows him or her to dial a number; however,
the system does not require an account code prior to allowing a
telephone user to dial a designated emergency number. Use 
thi’sprocedure to list the designated emergency numbers. The system
accepts a total of 16 numbers. Each number can be up to 16 digits long.
Authorization codes provide system users the mobility to use their
class of service (COS) features, prime line assignments, and exception
numbers on any telephone in the system. One popular term for such a
feature is walking class 
ofsewice. Don’t confuse authorization codes
with account codes. Authorization codes are associated with personal
intercom numbers as are COS, prime markings, and exception
numbers. Therefore, when a user enters his or her authorization code
at any system telephone, the code alerts the system as to what features
to make available to the user. The user can employ the telephone for
anything allowed by his or her personal intercom number; however, he
or she cannot disturb the last number redial stored there by the normal
user. Once a user accesses his or her telephone features, they remain in
effect until any idle time at the telephone exceeds the authorization
code time-out period (see section 5.12, System Timing Features, formore information).
As an additional feature, when a telephone is mapped with a lock
button, a user can press it and then 
dial an authorization code. This
action denies access to that telephone by other users. Use the
procedure given here to program and assign authorization codes. Use
Chapter Six, Station COS Programming, to match the COS to thepersonal intercom number and use the section 7.37, Button Mapping,
to assign the lock button to a telephone.
NOTE: You can include a two second pause as part of the
authorization code by typing a p at the point in the code
where you wish a pause to occur.
If you include a pause, a
user must wait two seconds at the proper point when he or
she dials the authorization code because the pause is now
part of the code.

II.1
IThe toll restriction/automatic route selection option is located on theIntroducing Tollmain menu as “Toll 
/ ARS.” And while the two features are grouped
together in programming, this correspondence manual separates them
Restrictionfor added explanation. Chapter Twelve covers the automatic route
selection feature.
With the toll restriction feature, the system allows or denies outgoing
line calls to selected users over selected lines. As a user dials a number
from a station that has toll restriction assigned, the toll restriction
feature first makes a comparison between the dialed number and the
telephone number entries on the toll restriction table. It compares the
dialed number up to the last digit in the entry. At that point it
considers it a match and applies the other restriction tests whether the
station user keeps dialing or not.
The dialing option table provides for not only toll restriction but also
automatic route selection and call costing features (see chapter chapter
thirteen for more information on call-costing). Toll restriction meets
different dialing needs by allowing users to dial certain numbers (in-
state toll calls, for example) yet restricting them from dialing numbers
other numbers (l-900 numbers for example). A defaulted system
allows station users to dial any number they choose to dial. When
programming the various aspects of toll restriction, use the planning
sheets provided in

Digital Communications System.Toll Restriction Programming 1 1

IThe restriction table sets up the test structure to determine whether aRestrictionparticular station can or cannot make a call. The restriction table
allows a maximum of 400 entries; broken down into 10 entries on a
Levelspage. You assign each entry a value from 1 to 8, or with “alloti all” or
“deny all.” The “allow all” entry ensures that the system applies no
dialing restriction to a number (example: 911). The “deny all” ensures
that a station user can never dial a number (example: l-900).
In station Class of Service programming, you assign each class of
service with a value of 1 through 8 as well. These numbers make up
the fundamental test for the toll restriction system. If a station’s class
of service toll restriction level is higher than or equal to the level
assigned to the telephone number on the toll restriction menu, then the
station can place the call. Likewise, if the station’s level is lower than
that of the number, the call is denied. The higher the number in class
of service, the more dialing patterns the system will allow.
