| Class Of Service Class of service levels are assigned to users to prevent
users from making unauthorised calls based on toll-restriction
programming. There are eight class of service levels available. A user may have a
different COS for day and night operating modes. Exchange lines may also be allocated one
of eight different COSs, but in the majority of installations an exchange line COS of 0
(zero) is all that is required.
System
Abbreviated numbers have a field that allows the specified abbreviated number to
bypass COS and Toll Restriction settings, allowing that particular abbreviated number to
be dialled from any keyset connected to the system, irrespective of that keyset's COS
setting.
Note that all extensions in all service modes must have
unrestricted access to 000 (triple zero emergency).
| Benefits |
Class Of Service in conjunction with Toll Barring tables
give an extremely flexible means of controlling the external telephone numbers that an
extension is able to dial. With a different
COS for "day-1" and "night" operating modes for the same extension(s),
radically different calling-ability can be allowed for business-hours and after-hours
time-periods. |
