Prevent extension dialing

[phoneguy]

We have some student phones in a school district that I would like to disable extension dialing. Is there a way to do this?

[davidbec]

Just so I understand; you want to prevent the phones from calling other extensions on the same network?

What is the point of having phones that cannot dial anywhere?

[eazeaz]

Extensions

Probably so the dumb ass students dont start dialing administrative employees.

[Miersk]

you might try setting it up as a multi-tenant system?

There is no way to prevent internal blockage "persay" some one stated Multi-Tenant, this is a viable option, you can also establish extension lists as well as establish each users as private and remove from the System Directory.

The Multi-Tenant option I would suggest is the best approach :balloon:

Ok I'll bite....

First, I am not familiar with how you can use an extension list to block ext to ext calls (other than in an AA menu). What am I missing?

Second the best practices doc talks about calling another tenant via their extension.

I am a little confused but we have been getting this request more and more lately so I would LOVE to be able to set it up!

I would love to see this added to Shoretel itself. In the mean time, we should be able to obtain this via a custom since Shoretel's API allows seeing individual keypresses on a phone. I have not yet found any other way, so if someone else has a workable solution without a custom, I'd love to hear it!

I wish it worked the same way it does for analog extensions. I tried that and it didn't work.

How do you setup tenants?
