Verified Account Codes let you access features that are not normally available at a station. You enter Verified Account Codes before making a call to change the COS and COR at any station. When you hang up, the station returns to normal.
SMDR can track the use of Verified Account Codes for long-distance billing purposes. Account Codes can be reported in Internal SMDR logs.
Non-verified Account Codes let you enter codes on the SMDR record for billing and/or call management. During a call, you can enter Non-verified Account Codes as often as required.
Both Verified and Non-verified Account Codes can be Fixed Length. If an Account Code is Fixed Length, it is automatically submitted to the system when the correct number of digits have been entered.
Both Verified and Non-verified Account Codes can be Forced. With Forced Verified Account Codes, you must enter the account code as soon as the phone is off-hook. With Forced Non-verified Account Codes, you must enter the account code after you dial the phone number.
You can program the system to avoid the requirement of entering a Forced Non-verified Account Code when making a call that must not be charged. For example, you may dial a leading digit (e.g. "8") to make a call without entering an account code, and dial a leading digit (e.g. "9") to make a call that requires an account code.
For security, you can program the system to mask account codes with asterisks on display phones.
Account Codes must be from two to 12 digits in length. The number of digits in the complete account code (main account code plus sub-account code) cannot exceed 12.
Depending on its dimensions, the system can support up to 40,000 Independent Account Codes.
Any number of users can enter account codes at one time.
When you enter a Verified Account Code that matches a code in the Independent Account Codes form, you hear dial tone.
For Forced Non-verified Account Codes, you must enter an account code to make a call transfer to an external destination when:
The Forced Non-verified Account Code COS option is enabled
The route for the external destination is type " N".
For Forced Non-verified Account Codes, an account code is not required if a set is programmed to forward to an external destination when
The Forced Non-verified Account Code COS option is enabled
The route for the external destination is type " N".
If a call is rerouted to a destination that requires a Forced Non-verified Account Code, the requirement for an account code is overridden.
For Fixed Length Account Codes, the system must have the Advanced Analog Networking feature programmed.
Account Codes shorter than the length specified in the user's COS can only be dialed if the Account Code Length is set to the default (12 digits). In this case, the user must terminate the account code with the "#" character. If the "#" character is not received or the length is set to another value (2-11 digits), an invalid account code message is displayed.
You can program a personal speed call key to dial an account code.
SIP phones can enter an account code by dialing the Feature Access Code (FAC) followed by the account code (enbloc).

Account Codes, if you want the "#" character to be used
to terminate dialing, set the Number of Digits to Follow field
in the ARS
Digits Dialed form to "unknown".
If you want a route to
have a Forced Non-verified Account Code, set Route Type
column in the ARS Routes
form to "Non-verified Account".
To mask account codes
with asterisks on display phones, enable "Suppress Display
of Account Code Numbers" in the Class
of Service Options form.
For SIP phones, do NOT enable the "Forced Verifed Account Code" COS option as it disables use of the Account Code and Non-Verified Account Code FACs. If the "Non-Verified Account Code" COS is ENABLED, then only the Non-Verified Account Code FAC will function. Likewise with the "Account Code Verified" COS option; when ENABLED the Account Code FAC will function but the Non-Verified Accont Code FAC will not.
NOTE: The Class of Service (COS) option precedes Route Type. The system prompts you for an account code only if the COS option is "Yes" and the Route Type is "Non-Verified Account".
