I can't do a long distance call... display RESTRICTION. How do I unblock it so I can do long distance calls ?

This requires a programming change that has to be done on a M7310 or M7324 phone by someone that understands programming.

You have to contact a dealer at http://www.telecom.toshiba.com/ as this is programmed in the brains of the Toshiba System

Best way to do that is to sit down with the manual and look at programs 400-408. At a minimum, if you restrict 1 and 0 in a table and assign it to your extensons in 405, those phones can't dial long distance. That's fairly worthless in today's calling climate when some carriers let you dial just 10 digits or you have to dial 1 for any local call outside your area code. 404 lets you build 8 tables of 10 number sequences each for restriction and 407 lets you build 8 tables of 10 number sequences for allow. For example You could put 1 HOLD HOLD HOLD (hold is the wildcard) in one table and entry of 404 with traditional dialing and that would restrict all 1+ long distance. Then, in 407 5 of your entries in one table would be 1800, 1888, 1877, 1866 and 1855 to allow toll free calling. These tables get assigned to extensions in programs 405 and 408. A simple restriction (ie local calls only, internal calls only) get assigned in 401. There are some other tricks and, above all, remember that you have to keep 911 availabe for access and allowing 0 is never a good idea because 0 alone will get the operator and that defeats the purpose of toll restriction.

Other tricks involve custom CLASS codes. You need to account for the clever worker who dial *67. That gives them second dial tone and they can dial the world. It would be easy if you could block first digit *, but you ought to allow *57 for nuisance call trace. If you have the above where long distance is dialed with only 10 digits, then you can always start with HOLD HOLD HOLD in a table and allow 911 and the local area code in an allow table. The table digits can be up to 12 so you may have to go to 6 digit screening in allow tables for local exchanges. In my area, we have 10 digit dialing and 419352 419353 419354 (among others) along with 567213 are local calls. If I were programming a customer 6 miles to the North, there would be extensive programming in both area codes.

Outside of that, it's just a function of analyzing your local calls, area codes, how a call is dialed, and building your tables. We do this with billing by the hour :-)

You would have to call the phone company and have them block long distance calls.

Hi To do so you can : - ask your service provider to limit the calls. - Find whether the previous owner has additional kit to limit the calls service and remove it Regards, jay

It's best if you use the "reply to post" window below the solution box so you can continue the same thread with the same person.

To set up the restriction filters we'll need to get into programming.
Programming is done on 7310, 7324 and 7316 type sets.
Enter programming by pressing the feature key followed by **266344.When prompted to enter the password enter 266344.
The screen should say TERMINALS&SETS. The 4 top line/feature keys are now used for programming.
At the terminals&sets prompt, press the next key (bottom right arrow).
The display should now LINES.
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should now ask for a line number.
Enter line number you want to change the line filter on. ex. 002 = line 2
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should say Trunk/Line data
Press the next key 2 times (bottom right arrow) .
The display should say Restrictions.
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should say Restriction Filters
Press the show key (top right arrow)
Enter in the restriction filter 25
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should say No Restrictions and the ADD soft key should appear on the lower right soft key
Press the add soft key and in the restrictions you want on the line.ex. 011any will bolck int'l dialing but not long distance. 0any and 1any will block long distance, operator assisted calls, and int'l dialing
You can also add overrides by pressing the show key (top right arrow) then the next key (bottom right arrow) .The display should say no over rides and the add soft key should appear on the right soft key.
When finished with the filter press the heading key(top left arrow)
The display should say Restriction Filters
Press the next key (bottom right arrow) .
The display should say Line restrictions
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should say Normal:none
Press the change key and enter 25.
Press the next key (bottom right arrow) .
Press the heading key (top left arrow) til the display says Lines.
Press the back key (bottom left arrow)
The display should say Terminals&Sets
Press the show key (top right arrow)
Enter in the extension number of the person you want to allow free use of the line.
Press the show key (top right arrow)
Press the next key 4 times(bottom right key)
The display should say Restrictions
Press the show key (top right arrow)
Press the next key 2 times(bottom right arrow)
The display should say Line/Set restrictions
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should ask for a line number.
Enter in the number of the line that was restricted.
Press the show key (top right arrow)
The display should say Normal: none
Change the filter to 00 (no restrictions)
That bypasses this extension from line filter 25
Press the next key (bottom right arrow) .
Press the release key when finished

Yes u can change the password.
Go to system programming by Fetature **266344 password will be 266344.
Keep pressing next until display shows restrictions.
press show there it will ask for COS password press show there u press 00
u will get a pasword press change as per ur requirement.

Not knowing your complete dialing plan makes it difficult to figure out why you can't "ring" a certain number. What do you get? Can you call local? Is 1800 or 1300 a local or "free" call or is it long distance or premium? And, do you get bounced with a display that says something after you dial 1800 or do you have to dial a complete number.

These are all installer questions. It would be well beyond the scope of a public forum to do someone's restriction tables.
