Call blocking
This feature is used to define Blocking Rules which specify phone numbers or patterns of
numbers that may not be dialed by particular users.

Provisioning–>Organizations
. ( see
Provisioning organizations )
Blocking rules use the same syntax as OmniTouch ACS DAS rules. Each rule is comprised
of one or more Perl regular expressions. Each dialed number is evaluated against each sub-
expression within the rule. If the evaluation meets the criteria of each sub-expression up to
*/bar/, the call will be blocked.
The call blocking mechanism strips all characters out of a phone number except the
following:
0-9, x, X, +, #, *, and comma ( , )
The letter x represents an extension. Any 3 to 5 digit long number is considered an
extension and dialed as one (for example, 1234 becomes x1234).
The comma ( , ) is recognized as a pause in all phone numbers.
If your phone number begins with sip: no characters are stripped out of it.
A + (plus) is always added by the system to all non-sip and non-extension numbers if you
do not enter it while dialing. If a number begins with 011, it will be converted to a +011. If
+011 is entered, it will remain as +011. The system does not reformat any number when a
l is manually entered in a phone number.
When a number is typed in and tested against a rule, the returned number that appears in
the
Type a phone number
box is the actual number being tested.
