Call Barring / Call Restrictions
The Orchid PBX 206 has a very flexible Call Restriction feature which allows
extensions only to call essential numbers, thereby keeping call costs to a
minimum.
Call restrictions of varying degrees can apply to any or all extensions.
There are 7 groups of Call Barring/Call Restrictions available. Groups 1 to 4
enable you to program Call Types to be barred; for example calls to mobiles
07) numbers can be assigned to Group 1 and any extensions assigned to
Group 1 will not be able to make a call to a mobile phone.
Any extensions assigned to Group 7 can only make Internal Calls
Groups 5 and 6 for Allowed calls only. It may be quicker and easier to use this
feature instead of the Call Barring / Call Restriction options depending on your
requirements.
