Need to Block incoming calls on ISDN 2

[NTOldTimer]

Here is the scenerio: The x-wife is getting calls from the x-husband. The calls always come from the same number. Can we block calls from his house with some sort of PBX feature? She has a DID number. I know the phone company can do it but what about the PBX?

If you have symposium, I can send you the script for just this application.

A member of our staff was having the same problem so I created a script that looked at a table of barred numbers and just dropped the line. I did give the member of staff the option of having a message go out or the call to go HR, but they preferred the sledge hammer approach.

CCR will do it also

We have CCR now and we're getting symposium before the end of the year. I understand how it could be done. Thanks for your replies.

use IDC table and direct those digits somewhere besides her phone.

phonedoc,

Using Symposium or CCR, we can ID the incoming call (the callers' phone number) and put that CLID into the programming so just that guy can't get though but everyone else would be able to reach her. Otherwise, we'd just change her number. With IDC we can only key on what number they dialed and that would be every caller that dials her.

I have done this in CCR and it does work. However, (Correct me if I'm wrong)I found it to be a pain because you have to change to users DN to a CDN and assign them a temp DN. This get's hairy for VM. If you don't mind I'd like to see your script you wrote in Symposium.

Hi Hookup.

In Symposium its the same. I had to change the DN to CDN etc.

As for VM. Thanks to the basic way in which Noretl works the call goes th the VM of the number daialed in this case the newly created CDN. I just set the MWI to diaply on the new DN. We have never bothered to tell our users about the hash (#) key to log in to VM so they still dial the extension of the VM box that they want. So as far as ny user was concerned no change to her VM.

Script below:

IF CDN = extension_to_block_to then

IF CLID = blocked then
disconnect
end if

route call 3338

end if

wher extensio_to_block_to and blocked are both script variables of type DN.

Hope this is of help.
