Release 3.1 Enhancements
Release 3.1 includes all Release 3.0 functionality plus the enhancements listed
below.
■ Call Restriction checking for star codes
Beginning with Release 3.1, the system manager can now add star (*)
codes to Allowed and Disallowed Lists to help prevent toll fraud. Star
codes, typically dialed before an outgoing call, enable telephone users to
obtain special services provided by the central office (CO). For example,
in many areas, a telephone user can dial *67 before a telephone number
to disable central office-supplied caller identification at the receiving
party’s telephone. (You must contract with your telephone service
provider to have these codes activated.)
When users dial star codes, the MERLIN LEGEND system’s Calling
Restrictions determine whether the codes are allowed. If allowed, the
system’s Calling Restrictions are reset, and the remaining digits that the
users dial are checked against the Calling Restrictions.
