Search For:
— Dialed Digit Pattern. The dialing pattern targeted for additional processing. Search
patterns are represented by up to 18 characters: the numbers 0 through 9, star (*)
and pound (#) signs, and/or wild cards (? = single character in the position it
appears; % = any number of trailing characters).
— Facility. The facility and direction — incoming, outgoing, or tandem calls —
targeted for additional processing. (“Tandem” refers to connecting calls, coming
into the telephone system through one line and transferred out again through
another. The MERLIN LEGEND Communications System does not handle tandem
calls.)
Modified To:
— Dialed Digits. The dialing pattern (up to 18 digits and/or wild cards “?”, “%”, “-“)
conforming to the following replacement rules:
Every digit represented by a “?” in the search-for pattern is matched either to a “?”
to keep the digit or to a “-” to discard it. For example, search for = ?381???? and
modified to = -381???? changes 13811234 into 3811234.
Trailing digits represented by a “%” in the search-for pattern are matched to a “%”
in the modified-to pattern. For example, search for = 88% and modified to = %
changes 8817165551212 into 17165551212.
— Select [x] Change Dialed Digits to store the replaced number with the call or select
[x] Discard Matching Calls to reject the call altogether.
