Set Account Code

This short code feature is used to allow system users to enter a valid account code prior to making a phone call. This short code feature is essential for allowing POT users to enter account codes. The example below demonstrates a short code that makes use of the SetAccountCode feature. Once this short code is set up, any account code can be used in conjunction with it.

The following forms apply to the Set Account Code feature:

• Telephone Number: A valid account code.

• Button Programming: User | Digital Telephony | Emulation | Account Code Entry (specific to DSS keys).

• Label: Acct (specific to the 2420 or 4620 telephones).

Example

• Short code: 11*N#

• Telephone Number: N

• Feature: SetAccountCode

In the example above, N (within the short code field) = any valid account code, N (within the Telephone Number field) = any telephone number. For the purpose of this example, we will imagine the account code to be 1234. Once this short code is created, a user can dial 11*1234# to get a dial tone for dialing the restricted telephone number or the phone number needing to be tracked for billing purposes.
