Setup a phone to ONLY be able to call certain numbers

[noisecode]

I have a customer who would like to setup a phone to be able to dial ONLY (2) long distance telephone numbers. He does not want the phone to be able to dial anything else at all internal or external. What would be the easiest way to achieve this? Thanks!

I would create two dial-down (hotline) phones, one with each LD phone number as the hot line destination.

Well, they actually want one phone that can call two numbers, not two phones that can call one number. I'm guessing I could set outward call restriction in the COR and then use some kind of restriction override, just not sure how.

Ahhh, but you wanted the easiest setup.

Let's see - created two x-port stations, with remote coverage paths to the two LD numbers that you want. Give the two x-port stations a unique COR that you are not using elsewhere.

Now create a new station for the lobby, or where ever you want this phone to be placed. Create a new, unique COR for it, also - Outward Restricted, and with calling permissions (page 3) only to the unique COR that you just set up for the two x-port stations.

Last step; give the lobby phone two speed-dial buttons to the two x-port stations, and label each as your two LD destinations. Customer selects SD 1; call routes to remote coverage path 1; which is your LD number 1. Same setup for the second number: SD 2 = r2 = LD 2.

Just assign the phone a different COR and Time-of-Day (Partition). I usually use Partition 8 in the table.

Then restrict all numbers except the 2 you want...

You'll have to create a seperate route pattern as well which will be applied to the new partition route table.

It's a little tricky, but can be done. I had a test group awhile ago that in their lab they wanted the 5 phones to be able to only call 5 numbers routing over MCI as the LD. So I had to add the PIC code as well.

Hope this helps - a little.
