The Outgoing Call Services object defines whether this subscriber uses services for handling outgoing calls.
Each Outgoing Call Services object is a child of an Individual Line, Business Group Line or PBX object. (Outgoing Call Services do not apply to MADNs or MLHG Pilot DNs.) It is created automatically if the Global Outgoing Call Services object supports one or more of the Outgoing Call services; you cannot create, delete, enable or disable it.
To allow the subscriber to use Speed Calling or Call Barring, you simply need to configure the service.

|
Call Barring - Subscribed | Change | Specifies whether this subscriber is permitted to use Call Barring. (This service rejects outgoing calls to specified numbers, and/or rejects some or all of the access codes for Call Services.) Choose Use default or specify a value:
|
Call Barring - usage sensitive billing | Change | Specifies whether the subscriber has usage sensitive billing for Call Barring. Usage sensitive billing means that the subscriber pays according to his or her usage of the service, rather than paying a flat rate for having the service enabled. Choose Use default or specify a value:
|
Call Barring - current barred call types | Change | The types of outgoing numbers and/or access codes for which calls are currently barred for this subscriber. Choose Use default or select one or more of the following values:
|
Mandatory Account Codes - Subscribed | Change | Specifies whether this subscriber is permitted to use Mandatory Account Codes. (This service allows the subscriber to use account codes on outgoing calls, to provide information on how call charges should be allocated.) Choose Use default or specify a value:
|
Mandatory Account Codes - variant | Change | Specifies whether this subscriber uses validated or non-validated account codes.
For a Business Group Line, this field is read-only if the parent Business Group's configuration specifies that the Business Group Lines in the group cannot override the parent Business Group's account codes configuration. If this is not the case, you can choose Use default to use the setting from the parent Business Group. Otherwise, specify a value:
|
Mandatory Account Codes - call types | Change | The types of outgoing calls for which account codes are required. The subscriber will need to enter an account code every time he or she makes an outgoing call of a selected type.
For a Business Group Line, this field is read-only if the parent Business Group's configuration specifies that the Business Group Lines in the group cannot override the parent Business Group's call types. If this is not the case, you can choose Use default to use the setting from the parent Business Group. Otherwise, select one or more of the following values:
|
Mandatory Account Codes - inherit codes and code length | Change | This field appears only for a Business Group Line. Specifies whether the subscriber uses the code length and access codes defined for the parent Business Group.

|
Mandatory Account Codes - code length | Change | Specifies the length (number of digits) of Mandatory Account Codes that this subscriber uses. Choose Use default or specify a value in the range 1 - 15. For a Business Group Line, if the parent Business Group's configuration specifies that the Business Group Lines in the group cannot override the parent Business Group's account code length, or if Mandatory Account Codes - inherit codes and code length is set to True, this field is read-only; you cannot change the code length because it must match the length of the codes defined for the parent Business Group. |
Mandatory Account Codes - max incorrect code attempts | Change | This field appears only if Mandatory Account Codes - variant is set to Validated. Maximum number of consecutive times that the subscriber may enter an incorrect Mandatory Account Code before his or her outgoing call service is blocked. If the subscriber enters an incorrect code for a number of consecutive attempts that exceeds this value, the NE automatically blocks the subscriber from making any further outgoing calls. You can remove the block, allowing the subscriber to use the service again, using the Mandatory Account Codes - blocked field. When an account is locked out, an entry is made in the log. For a Business Group Line, choose Use default to use the setting from the parent Business Group. Otherwise, specify a value in the range: 0 - 100. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the subscriber will never be blocked regardless of the number of incorrect code attempts. |
Mandatory Account Codes - blocked | Change | This field appears only if Mandatory Account Codes - variant is set to Validated.
Specifies whether this subscriber is currently blocked from making outgoing calls that require account codes because he or she has made too many incorrect attempts to enter an account code. Values:
|

This field is a text field in which you can copy, cut, and paste text (for example text taken from accounting software). To add or edit codes in this field, specify each account code on its own line, terminated by a carriage return.
