The Global Outgoing Call Services object is a child of the Call Services object.
The Global Outgoing Call Services object contains global configuration parameters and statistics for speed calling, call barring, and mandatory account codes. There is a single Global Outgoing Call Services object; it is created before delivery of the MetaSwitch NE and you cannot delete it.
To configure the switch to support a particular Outgoing Call service, you need to do the following:
Most parameters relating to each of these services are visible in the EMS System Explorer only when the service is set to Configured or Disabled.

|
Mandatory Account Codes - default max incorrect code attempts | Change Inactive | Maximum number of consecutive times that a subscriber may enter an incorrect Mandatory Account Code before the subscriber's outgoing call service is blocked. You can override this value in the Outgoing Call Services object for a particular subscriber (Individual Line, Business Group, Business Group Line, or PBX). 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, from the subscriber's Outgoing Call Services object. Range: 0 - 50. The default is 10. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the subscriber will never be blocked regardless of the number of incorrect code attempts. |
