## Account Number

## Definition

An account number is information that the extension user initiates for each call. The account number is transferred in the call record to a connected Call Information Logging (CIL)-unit.

Account numbers can be made mandatory for calls to selected trunks from groups of extensions.

## Use

An account number can be utilised in all activities for which it is desired to debit telephone costs to different accounts.

A typical example is a firm of lawyers where costs are to be debited to the accounts of the various clients.

The function can also be used for incoming traffic. One example is that a travel agency can register different types of orders and inquiries.

It is possible to make an account number mandatory, i.g. in order to make an external call extension users must dial a code.

See also facility description Call Information Logging (CIL) Function (140/155 34-ASB 150 02 Uen).

## Operation

An account number can be inserted before the external number is dialled or during the call.

For calls to trunks, for which an account number is mandatory, the number must always be inserted before the route number. To facilitate the entry of an account number during a call, a programmable key for this function is required.

#### All telephones

In idle state the account number is entered by dialling the number.

* 9 * Account number #

Internal dial tone is received as confirmation whereafter the extension can dial the route access code and external subscriber number.

An attempt to dial an external number on a trunk for which an account number is mandatory will encounter congestion tone.

#### ECONOMYplus -, STANDARD - and EXECUTIVE telephones and OPERATOR CONSOLE

With these telephones an account number can also be entered during a call provided that a key has been programmed for the function.

- Press programmed key
- Dial account number on key set
- Press #-key
  Telephone with display shows dialled digit

Note

To enter account numbers from an OPERATOR console is possible both for outgoing and incoming traffic, but only when the OPERATOR is speaking to an external party.

## Capacity

Account numbers can be entered for all external calls. The length of each account number is an optional 1 ‑ 15 digits.

## Limitations

To be able to enter account numbers during calls, both outgoing and incoming traffic requires a programmable key.

Note

The system does not verify whether the dialled account number is correct.
