Account (Billing)
Codes (NBX 100 and SuperStack 3 NBX) The Account Codes feature allows
your administrator to tracks calls associated with an individual client or
account. When you answer your telephone or when you dial a call, you
dial a numeric account code which allows the system to track time spent
on the telephone with a client, perhaps to be associated with a billable
account.
To activate the Account Codes feature, at any time during a call:
1 Press Feature button and 888.
2 Dial the account code that has been assigned by your administrator, and
then press the # key.
Caller ID Your administrator can set up your NBX system to allow for Internal and
External Caller ID and can configure the system so that you can block
your identity (telephone number) from the person whom you are calling.
Internal and External
Caller ID
This feature shows the extension and name of an internal caller on the
display panel of your NBX telephone.
External Caller ID provides the same information for external incoming
calls but requires your administrator to subscribe to the service from your
local telephone company.
Availability and service charges for external Caller ID may vary in your
area.
Calling Line Identity
Restriction (CLIR)
(NBX 100 and SuperStack 3 NBX) Sometimes you may need to prevent
the NBX system from transmitting your Caller ID information to outside
parties when you dial a call. This feature is called Calling Line Identity
Restriction, or CLIR. You can restrict calls:
■
For all external (outbound) calls that you dial, or
■
For only the next external (outbound) call that you dial.
Your administrator may have configured your system in such a way that
CLIR is always activated, in which case you cannot change the CLIR
settings on your telephone to override this option.
