Parameter |
Access |
Description |
Table index | Read only | The EMS's identifier for this Mandatory Account Code Table object. This is used to identify the object when using the EMS's configuration export / import function. |
Description | Change | Optional user-friendly name identifying the Mandatory Account Code Table. Specify a name of up to 32 characters. |
Variant | Change | Specifies whether this table defines validated or non-validated account codes. Values:
|
Call types | Change | The types of calls for which account codes are required. The subscriber will need to enter an account code every time he or she makes a call of a selected type. Select one or more of the following values:
|
Code length | Change | Specifies the length (number of digits) of Mandatory Account Codes used in this table. Range: 1 - 15. The default is 4. |
Maximum incorrect code attempts | Change | This field appears only if Variant is set to Validated. Maximum number of consecutive times that the subscriber may enter an incorrect Mandatory Account Code before his or her long distance 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's ANI Screening Entry from making any further long distance calls using the NE's carrier code. You can remove the block from the ANI Screening Entry object, allowing subscribers to use the code again. When an account is locked out, an entry is made in the log. Specify a value in the range 0 - 50. The default is taken from the equivalent field in the parent Global Outgoing Call Services object. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the subscriber will never be blocked regardless of the number of incorrect code attempts. |
Valid account codes | Change | The account codes supported by this table. This field appears only if Variant is set to Validated.
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.
