Special Table
Description
The Special Tables provide greater flexibility in designing a toll plan for a particular site.

Each Special Table allows entry of up to 800 office codes (200–999).

Three of these tables must be assigned an area code by which they are referenced. The 
fourth table is reserved for the home area code and requires no area code entry.

The Special Tables are referenced through entries in the allow tables. Four area codes, 
including the home area code, can be referenced to these special tables for further 
definition. When a Special Table is referenced, entries must be made in the Special Table 
specifying what office codes are allowed.

Codes can be added to the Allow list or removed from the list. When a Special Table is 
checked for a match to a 3-digit code and not found, the system continues to search the 
next Allow/Deny Table to be checked. The system does not return to the Allow Table 
which routed the call to the Special Table.

Toll Restriction Related Items
CO/PBX Lines
When CO lines are marked as PBX lines the system first checks the PBX code table for a valid 
match. If the first digits dialed do not match the entries in the PBX code table the call is 
considered an attempt to call another PBX extension and no toll restriction is applied. If the 
first digits dialed are found in the PBX code table (FLASH 12), toll restriction starts with the 
next dialed digit.
Forced Account Codes
The system can be programmed to force the use of account codes on all restricted calls. 
When forced account codes are enabled, an account code must be entered to place a call 
that is otherwise restricted through toll restriction. By entering an account code, the station 
class of service becomes unrestricted. When account codes are forced on a system-wide 
basis, selected users may be instructed on how to enter account codes from any station and 
be allowed to dial unrestricted from a station that may otherwise be restricted. Use of 
account codes in this manner, as a traveling class of service, is however, not controlled by the 
system. Any station user with knowledge of how to enter account codes to override a 
station’s toll restriction can do so.
SLT DTMF Receivers
When Single Line Telephones are connected to the STS system and toll restriction is enabled, 
the DTMF receivers located in the system monitors the call for a programmed time period. 
While the DTMF receiver is monitoring the digits being dialed by a single line telephone, it is 
considered busy and not available for monitoring another SLT attempting to dial. When all 
DTMF receivers are busy, an SLT attempting to go off-hook does not receive dial tone until a 
receiver is available.
The STS system uses one DTMF receiver to monitor SLT dialing. If a system has heavy SLT 
usage, then toll restriction may inhibit dialing by SLT stations.
Two options are available to help alleviate this problem:

Shorten the SLT receiver timer (FLASH 01, Button 12). This frees up DTMF receivers faster, 
but may not provide the desired toll restriction for SLT stations.

Enable LCR and force LCR on SLT stations.
When the LCR database is set up, the 3-digit table allows entry of the number of digits to 
expect. When an SLT user dials the appropriate number of digits, LCR releases the DTMF 
receiver and then it is available for another SLT call.

							Uniform Call Distribution2-287
Features and Operation
LCR Versus Toll Restriction
LCR is not an alternative to toll restriction nor is toll restriction an alternative to LCR. They 
work best when programmed together. Toll restriction specifies station dialing privileges and 
LCR provides call routing to appropriate lines.
LCR can enhance toll restriction by providing Store and Forward operation to analyze digits 
being dialed before a trunk is seized. This prevents users from by-passing toll restriction by 
taking advantage of the time required for a central office line to provide dial tone. LCR is 
recommended when toll restriction is enabled.
Uniform Call Distribution
Eight Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) groups can be programmed, each containing up to 
eight three-digit station numbers. Each group is assigned a pilot number. When this number 
is dialed, the first available agent in that group is rung. Calls are routed to the station that has 
been on-hook for the longest period of time. Refer to Chapter 4, Uniform Call Distribution for 
additional information.
Universal Day/Night Answer 
Description
Incoming CO lines can be programmed for Universal Day Answer (UDA) or Universal Night 
Answer (UNA). UDA/UNA assigned CO lines can also signal over the external page port(s). If 
External Day programming is enabled and the system is in the day mode, the assigned 
external page port(s) present a ringing signal. UDA/UNA is established on a per CO line basis 
in admin programming.
When the system is in Day or Night mode and you hear an outside line ringing at another 
station, and wish to answer it:
Dial [#5] on the dial pad or use the Soft Key’s UDA/UNA option. The connected outside line 
can be transferred or disconnected.
Each telephone utilizing Universal Day/Night Answer must have a loop button 
appearance if the ringing outside line does not display at their phone.
UDA/UNA only works on direct ringing calls. It does not work for intercom or 
transferred calls.

Universal Day Answer (UDA) 
Description
UDA-assigned CO lines can signal over external page port(s). External Day ringing is 
programmed on a system-wide basis in administrative programming. Stations that do not 
have access to a line during the day can answer that line while the System is in the day mode

procedures.
» If two single-line telephones attempt to retrieve one ringing CO line simultaneously, one 
user is connected to the incoming CO line and the other user receives intercom busy 
tone.
» The special ring mode is treated as day mode.
Universal Night Answer (UNA)
Description
If a line is marked UNA, this activates night service answering of incoming calls on this line by 
stations not normally assigned access to the line(s) by dialing feature code [#5]. This station 
must have a direct CO appearance or an available loop key assigned to do this. Lines marked 
as UNA also activate Night Ringing over External Page when in the night mode if External 
Night Ringing is set to Yes.

Description
Up to eight Voice Mail groups can be configured in the STS system. Each group can contain 
up to 24 Voice Mail designated ports, each of which interfaces with a port on an SLT card (or 
DTIB if using a Digital Voice Mail).
An externally provided Voice Mail system or Auto Attendant must be connected to the
STS system for Voice Mail or Auto Attendant operation. Voice Mail automatically handles 
unanswered calls. Station user can then retrieve messages left at their stations.
Auto Attendants can handle incoming calls and route callers to station users without 
intervention from the systems Attendant. Direct incoming ring to Voice Mail/Auto Attendant 
groups can be done directly through CO Line Ringing Assignments. The buttons on the 
digital telephone are defined as shown when entering the Voice Mail programming area:
