Considerations
Calling parties without a display get a ring back tone, rather than the Absence Message.
If a message code number that has not been programmed is selected, 
Absence No.n
, appears on 
the display (n = message number).
Regardless of setting an Absence Message on a DDI/DL extension, DDI/DL calls are routed 
according to the trunk ringing setting. 
An absence message may also be cancelled by dialling 7**. This cancels Do-Not-Disturb (DND) 
and Call Forwarding-All Calls as well.
Account Codes
Description
You can assign account codes to clients to facilitate billing and to track call dates and times, numbers 
called, and outside line numbers used. This information is printed for each account on the System 
Message Detail Recording (SMDR) (Call Logging) record.
In addition verified account codes may be used to change the TRS (Call Barring) level to allow calls 
to numbers otherwise restricted.
Account codes may be either forced or unforced (voluntary) and either verified or unverified.
This feature works with SMDR (Call Logging). During a phone call, a station user can silently enter 
an accounting or client billing code. The entered Code will display on the phone’s LCD as it’s dialled, 
so the user can tell it’s being registered. Then later, the Call Logging reports will show the Code 
dialled for each call, and even sort the report by these Codes.
There are two different types of account codes you can use:
Non-Verified Account Codes
Non-Verified Codes aren’t checked by the system for validity; the user can enter anything from 1-10 
digits long. Individual phones can be programmed to accept forced Account Codes (the user must 
enter a code for every call) or voluntary Account Codes (the user can enter a code, but doesn’t have 
to, for each call).
Non-Verified Account Codes can be assigned to incoming and/or outgoing calls. For incoming calls, 
the user can enter the Code anytime during the call. For outgoing calls, the user either enters the Code 
before accessing an outside line (for forced Codes), or anytime during the call (for voluntary Codes).
Verified Account Codes
Verified Account Codes entered by phone users must match a code that has been preprogrammed into 
an Account Code Table. These codes can also be either forced or voluntary. You can program these 
codes with their own Toll Restriction Service (TRS) (Call Barring) Class assignment so that, when 
entered, they will override the extension’s TRS (Call Barring) Class. Thus, Verified Account Code 
users can “float” from phone to phone, placing calls that would normally be restricted on that phone.
