Is there a way that I can block incoming calls from a specific number, so they cannot call any of our numbers except for one DID number?

If not, can I block the number from call 3 or 4 DID numbers specifically?

Thanks,
Brandon
 
Thanks for your reply. I did read the FAQ and it makes sense, but I cant seem to find a way to block the calls to all DID's except for one.
 
Also, xmobile doesnt seem to be enabled on my system and the off-pbx telephone command doesnt seem to exist on my system.
 
EC500 is a licensed feature. You need to use 1 per number you want to block - so you need at least 1 EC500 license.

As for blocking it to all numbers except 1, you can do that in CORs. Each COR has a setting of whether it is allowed to call other CORs or not - so, you'd just have 1 COR that is not allowed calling any other CORs, except for a special COR and you put that special COR on the phone you want to be able to be called.
 
why have did's if they plan on blocking 99% of them, makes no sense. Another way change all extensions to non did except for the 1 extension
 
You can try incoming call handling treatment. On the inbound trunk group look for the inbound digits delete them and add a sodt number and bridge it on the set you want to answer this call.

Worth a test no?

1a2 to ip I seen it all
 
How would I check to see if I am licensed for EC500? I did a disp cap, but didnt see anything related to EC500 or mobile.
 
you should see ec500 on tab 9, under Off-PBX Telephone - EC500

I used that EC500 method and it works great. I took a spare extension and gave it a COR that was fully restricted. I then put an entry in the off-pbx table with this spare extension and associated it to the number I wanted blocked. You can use the same extension for multiple external numbers as well, assuming you have ec500 licenses.

Before I found the above method I was using vdn/vectors, but they were only useful when I wanted to block a specific number to a specific user.
