1.8 Toll Restriction (TRS) Features
Description
Toll Restriction (TRS) can prohibit extension users from making certain CO line calls, based on the Class of Service (COS) assigned to them (![]() Each COS is assigned a TRS level for each time mode; level 1 grants the highest level of authorization, allowing all CO line calls to be made, and level 7 grants the lowest level of authorization, prohibiting all CO line calls from being made. TRS levels 2 through 6 are used to restrict calls by combining preprogrammed Denied and Exception Code Tables, explained below. Each COS can also have a separate TRS level applicable to calls made using System Speed Dialing. A TRS check is applied each time a dialed number is sent to a CO line after an extension user goes off-hook and seizes a line. |
Denied Code Tables are preprogrammed lists containing the first few digits (leading number) of telephone numbers which may not be called. All outgoing CO line calls made by TRS level 2 through 6 users are compared to at least one Denied Code Table, and when the leading number of a dialed telephone number (not including the CO Line Access number) matches an entry found in the applicable table, the call is denied. There are five Denied Code Tables. Each table applies to a corresponding TRS level as well as the level(s) preceding it, as explained below. |
Exception Code Tables are preprogrammed lists of leading digits or complete telephone numbers which are checked against every dialed number prohibited by a Denied Code Table. When a user dials a number prohibited by a Denied Code Table, it is compared to at least one Exception Code Table. If the dialed number matches an entry found in the applicable Exception Code Table, the call is permitted. There are five Exception Code Tables. Each table applies to a corresponding TRS level as well as the level(s) preceding it, as explained below. |
TRS Override by System Speed Dialing
When TRS Override by System Speed Dialing is enabled for the PBX, each COS has an additional TRS level applicable only to calls made using System Speed Dialing. This allows extension users to use System Speed Dialing to make CO line calls which are normally prohibited by the TRS level of their assigned COS. If, for example, a user's TRS level is 7, that user normally cannot make any CO line calls. However, if the same user's TRS level for System Speed Dialing is level 1, the user can make a CO line call to any number stored in System Speed Dialing. |
The Denied Code Tables and Exception Code Tables which apply to each TRS level are explained below. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Conditions
WARNING The software contained in the TRS feature to allow user access to the network must be upgraded to recognize newly established network area codes and exchange codes as they are placed into service. Failure to upgrade the premises PBXs or peripheral equipment to recognize the new codes as they are established will restrict the customer and the customer's employees from gaining access to the network and to these codes. KEEP THE SOFTWARE UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LATEST DATA. |

• | The PBX can also be programmed to perform a TRS check for numbers that contain non-digits (![]() | ||||||||||||||||||||||
• | TRS can also be programmed to check digits that are dialed after External Feature Access, such as when trying to transfer a call to an outside party. (![]() | ||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Host PBX Access Code/Special Carrier Access Code TRS checks can be carried out on telephone numbers dialed using a Host PBX Access code ( ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
• | ARS If ARS is applied to a dialed number, TRS will check the user-dialed number, not the modified number produced by ARS. You do not need to program ARS-modified numbers in any of the TRS Tables. Additionally, when using ARS, TRS will ignore the Host PBX Access code or Special Carrier Access code. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Dialing Digit Restriction during Conversation TRS can also limit the number of digits which may be dialed by an extension user while the user is engaged on a received CO line call. If the number of dialed digits exceeds the limit, the line will be disconnected. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
• | When one of the following features is used, the TRS level of the extension can be temporarily changed. If two or more of these features are used simultaneously (Dial Tone Transfer is used while the extension is locked, for example), the TRS level of the feature with the highest priority is applied for the duration of the call. The numbers below (1 through 4) indicate the priority of each feature, with 1 having the highest priority, and 4 having the lowest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Extension users can lock their telephones to prevent unauthorized useuseful for situations when extension users must leave their desks temporarily. When Extension Lock is engaged, the extension's Toll Restriction (TRS) level ( ![]() An extension personal identification number (PIN) is required to unlock a locked extension ( ![]() |
This feature is also known as Electronic Station Lockout. |
Conditions
• | This feature also restricts changing the Call Forwarding (FWD) destination. (![]() | ||||||
• | Remote Extension Lock Allows an extension assigned as a manager to lock or unlock an extension. When a manager locks an extension remotely, the extension's user cannot unlock it. When a user locks an extension, a manager can override the lock and unlock the extension. This feature is also known as Remote Station Lock Control. | ||||||
• | TRS Level The TRS level of a locked extension is assigned through system programming. ( ![]() | ||||||
• | Other features can also temporarily change an extension's TRS level, similar to Extension Lock. If an extension is locked, the TRS level determined by the following features takes priority. The numbers below (1 through 3) indicate the priority of each feature, with 1 having the highest priority, and 3 having the lowest. | ||||||

Description
Extension users can temporarily assign their own Class of Service (COS) to another extension, allowing them to make calls as if from their own telephones. This feature is useful when a manager or supervisor needs to borrow another employee's telephone to make a call. The superior enters the Walking COS feature number followed by his or her extension number and extension personal identification number (PIN), then makes the call. Other features can be accessed by Walking COS, such as DND Override ( ![]() ![]() |
Conditions
• | Walking COS is effective for only one CO line call or one operation at a time. | ||||

Description
A verified code is a code which is assigned its own Class of Service (COS), and therefore contains a Toll Restriction (TRS) level (![]() Because a verified code user normally has no extension telephone, the verified code will be logged by Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) for identification or accounting purposes when making a CO line call. Other features can be accessed by Verified Code Entry, such as DND Override, Executive Busy Override, etc. Each verified code can be assigned a user name, COS, verified code, personal identification number (PIN), and Itemized Billing Code for ARS. A verified code PIN is required to use Verified Code Entry. | ||||||||||||||||

Conditions
WARNING When a third party discovers the personal identification number (PIN) (verified code PIN/extension PIN) of the PBX, there will be a risk that they will make fraudulent phone calls using the telephone line, and the cost will be charged to your own account. In order to avoid this problem, we strongly recommend the following points: | ||||||
|
• | Verified Code Entry is effective for only one CO line call or one operation at a time. | ||||
• | When making a call with Verified Code Entry: | ||||
| |||||
• | Verified Code PIN A verified code PIN can also be assigned for each verified code through manager programming as well as through system programming. | ||||
• | Verified Code Entry through DISA This feature is also available through Direct Inward System Access (DISA). ( ![]() | ||||
• | Verified Code PIN Lock If the PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the line will be disconnected. If an incorrect PIN is entered a preprogrammed number of times, the PIN will be locked. Only an extension assigned as a manager can unlock a PIN, after which it will be reset. |
