The easiest way to block specific pattern for a directory number

[majkinetor]

Hello.

I want to block access to specific patterns for concrete directory number. For instance, lets say user X located on dn 222 is dialing number 12345 every day and talks for hours. I want to block 12345 from his phone only.

What I do now is create new partition ptForbiden, create 12345 pattern for it, copy the active Calling Search Space of DN 222 and create new one with ptForbiden as the first partition in it and set up new CSS for DN. This bans call OK, but this system is IMO not so good because:

1. If I want to block more patterns for other users I must create bunch of temporary partitions which bloat system view of important partitions. Also, setting-up and reverting procedures are lengthy.

2. If I create only one partition (and CSS) for all prohibited patterns and set it to DN's that should be affected, all DN's will be affected with all patterns, which is not good (I want 1<->1 for DN<->pattern_ban)

So, is there any other simple way to do it. Ideally, thats something I would like to have as setting of the device or Dn itself.

TIA.

Are you using H.323 or MGCP? If running H.323 you can translate that number on the gateway. Also if your are using mgcp you can insert a translation as well.

I have > 100 gateways.

I figured out that when you add new pattern, assign it to the <none> partition and any route list, it will be blocked in entire system for each gateway.
