Account codes are commonly used to control cost allocation and out-going call restriction. The account code used on a call is included in the call information output by the system's call log. Incoming calls can also trigger account codes automatically by matching the Caller ID stored with the account code.
|
Once a call has been completed using an account code, the account code information is removed from the user's call information. This means that redial functions will not re-enter the account code.
The maximum recommended number of accounts codes is 1000.

Forcing Account Code Entry for Specific Numbers
Account code can be set a being required for any dialing that matches a particular short code. This is done by ticking the Force Account Code option found in the short code settings. Note that the account code request happens when the short code match occurs. Potentially this can be in the middle of dialing the external number, therefore the use of X wildcards in the short code to ensure full number dialing is recommended.
Entering Account Codes
The method for entering account codes depends on the type of phone being used. Refer to the relevant telephone User's Guide for details.
