Profile Outgoing Call Services

The Profile Outgoing Call Services object is a child of the Persistent Profile object. It defines a standard set of configuration parameters for Outgoing Call Services that can be used by one or more subscribers (individual lines, business groups, business group lines, or PBXs). Outgoing Call Services do not apply to MADNs or MLHG Pilot DNs.

This object appears only if one or more Outgoing Call Services are configured in the Global Outgoing Call Services object. The fields in this object relating to each service appear only if the appropriate service is configured in the Global Outgoing Call Services object.

For each field in the profile, you can either specify an explicit value or choose Use default. The default value for each field is normally the same as the system-defined default for the equivalent field if you are configuring a subscriber without using a persistent profile. The only exception to this is that, if you are using the profile to configure a Business Group Line, the default value is derived from the overall Business Group configuration (which may in turn be derived from a profile used by the Business Group).


Parameter

Access

Description
Speed Calling - Subscribed Change Specifies whether this subscriber is permitted to use Speed Calling. (This service allows the subscriber to use short codes to access frequently-used numbers.) Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • True
  • False
Speed Calling - handset access allowed Change Specifies whether the subscriber can use his or her telephone handset to configure speed calling. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • True
  • False
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:
  • True
  • False
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:
  • True
  • False
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:
  • International
  • Mobile
  • National
  • Local
  • Operator
  • Premium
  • Access codes
  • Access codes that change configuration
    This value is typically used for a PBX. Because PBX lines are shared between users, you may want to prevent users from changing the configuration through the handset because this would affect other users of the PBX.
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:
  • True
  • False
For a Business Group Line, this field is ignored 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.
Mandatory Account Codes - variant Change Specifies whether this subscriber uses validated or non-validated account codes. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • Validated
    To make a call that requires account codes, the user must specify a code that matches one of the entries in the Mandatory Account Codes - valid account codes field. (For a Business Group Line, this includes codes defined for the parent Business Group if Mandatory Account Codes - inherit codes and code length is True.)
  • Non-validated
    The user can specify any code of the correct length. The code is recorded in billing data but is not checked.
For a Business Group Line, this field is ignored 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.
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. Choose Use default or select one or more of the following values:
  • International
  • Mobile
  • National
  • Local
  • Operator
  • Premium
  • Directory
  • Local Business Group
  • Other Business Group
For a Business Group Line, this field is ignored 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.
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, this field is ignored 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 you change this length while there are subscribers using this profile with account codes of this length configured, these account codes will no longer be valid and will not be displayed in the subscriber configuration.
Mandatory Account Codes - max incorrect code attempts Change 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 in the EMS object for the subscriber. Choose Use default or 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.
Warm / Hot Line - Subscribed Change This field does not apply for SIP subscribers. Specifies whether the subscriber is susbcribed to the Warm Line or Hot Line call service. (These services allow a pre-configured number to be automatically dialed when the subscriber takes the phone off the hook. For Hot Line, the number is dialed immediately. For Warm Line, it is dialed after a configurable timeout if the subscriber does not dial any digits.) Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • True
  • False
Warm / Hot Line - service level Change This field specifies whether Warm Line or Hot Line is enabled. (A subscriber cannot be subscribed to both at the same time.) Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • Warm Line
  • Hot Line
Warm / Hot Line - default Warm Line timeout Change Specifies the delay for Warm Line, after which the configured number is called. Choose Use default or specify a value in the range 2 - 16 seconds.
