Blocklist

With blocklist, incoming external or internal calls can be rejected based on their CLIP, left to come to "nothing" or routed to a specific destination.

Blocklist works only for external incoming calls and can be activated or deactivated for each trunk group.

An external incoming call can be processed because of its CLIP. For this, enter the CLIP numbers in a blocklist. Activate the list in one or more trunk groups.

A call coming in via a trunk group, for which the parameter Use blocklist for incoming calls is activated, is handled as follows:

The CLIP is compared with the entries in the blocklist, starting with the topmost entry. If the digits of the CLIP starting from the left side matches an entry in the blocklist, the call is either rejected according to the configuration in the Action selection field, the caller receives a permanent ring back tone or the call is routed to another destination.

If the CLIP does not match, normal routing is used.

notes:

All calls in the connection data collection are always entered, regardless of the chosen action.
For mobile/external users, virtual PISN users and MMC mobile phones, the external call number is always first replaced with the internal user number, before the comparison with the blocklist made.

Creating and activating a blocklist

Enter '+' followed by a digit sequence.

The incoming CLIP is now checked for all external calls via the trunk group for which blocklist is enabled. If the CLIP digits starting from the left side match an entry in the blocklist, the action is taken.
