OS:  2000.2.7

Cisco 7940 with:
- Boot Load:  PC0303010001
- App Load:   PC00307020200

Scenario:  I would like to allow a single phone or a specific group of phone
s (or CTI route point for that matter) to forward all calls to an external t
elephone number.  Keep in mind that we do call accounting through our Telco.
  Therefore, our Telco "ask
s" for a 4 digit code to be entered before the call is allowed through their
 switch.

Question:  Is there an easy way to pass along a client code to my Telco's sw
itch without making it really easy for people to use a local number to get t
hrough to long distance number via Forwarding?  Basically, what I need to kn
ow is can I ONLY allow ONE
or a HANDFUL of phones to do this without making it easy for un-approved use
rs to do this?  I want to avoid people doing this to bypass long distance ch
arges by forwarding their local phone to a long distance phone.  Does this m
ake sense?  Or am I being p
aranoid?

Let me know if you require more information.

Thanks,

Jared

Is the 4 digit code immediately entered after the long distance number or is
 there a prompt for it? As far as I know, there is no 'pause' feature availa
ble.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by forwarding to a local number that is for
warded to long distance. If it's off-net I would assume the off-net local nu
mber gets charged for the long distance call.

Set up a translation pattern in a partition that only this group is
allowed to call, that appends the code.  Set up their calling search
space to use this partition.  Pray that noone finds out the code.

On the other hand, since the Telco bills, they should still see the
correct caller id even on a forwarded call.

jared,

that depends on when the provider wants the digits and what your PSTN
circuits are.

CM has no way by default of specifying digits to pass in band (in the
audio stream) or out of band (in a separate signaling channel such as
h245, SIP, SCCP session or over the d-channel of a PRI or BRI).

That said you have some options:
If you have FXO ports, all signaling is passed inband.  setup your
gateway as an h323 gateway use prefix digits under the pots dial peer
to add pauses (,,,) then setup your CSS so that your one number uses
this gateway and this trunk

Otherwise, you will need a call scripting application such as IP-
IVR.  You can write a script to accept the call, initiate a transfer
to the external destination number, wait for connect, pause, send
digits, complete transfer.  In this case the inband vs. out of band
is irrelevant because IVR will manage the call to the connected state
(and isdn does not pass digits over the d-channel after initial call
setup.
