ETTINGS
Account codes range from two to sixteen digits. The system allows up to
5000 account codes.
The system maintains a centralized list of account codes that you can
update, and can verify the account codes that telephone users enter
against this list of account codes.
Account codes are classified by four operation modes, which determine
how strictly to enforce account code usage for outgoing calls based on
Class of Service criteria. See the
Account Codes: Operational Modes
section of this chapter for information about operational modes.
Feature Interaction
This section describes the ways in which account codes interact with
other features.
Bridged Station Appearance
Only a primary telephone can originate a call. However, once the call is
answered, either the primary or the secondary telephone can place the
call on hold and take it off hold. The last account code that the primary or
the secondary telephone entered overrides the account code for the call.
CO Flash
The system does not enforce account code entry for calls that you
originate by means of a CO Flash. This means that you can receive a call,
perform a CO Flash, and make an external call without entering an
account code.
Conference
During the time that forced account code mode is enabled, you must
enter an account code for each leg of a conference. The account code
applies to the call leg, and not to the call from which the conference is
initiated. After the conference is completed, an account code entered by
any telephone user overrides the account code for the conference call.
Emergency Numbers
The system allows emergency numbers without an account code.
