Enter a descriptive name for the types of phone numbers that are restricted or for the types of subscribers to which the restrictions apply.
Minimum Digits Allowed
Enter the minimum number of digits—including access codes—in a call transfer, message notification, or fax delivery number. Only the dial strings that contain a number of digits greater than or equal to the Minimum Digits Allowed are checked against the restriction table. Dial strings that contain fewer than the Minimum Digits Allowed are not permitted.
For example, to prohibit subscribers from using four-digit numbers, enter 5 in the Minimum Digits Allowed field.
Default: 1 digit.
Maximum Digits Allowed
Enter the maximum number of digits—including access codes—in a call transfer, message notification, or fax delivery number. Only the dial strings that contain a number of digits fewer than or equal to the Maximum Digits Allowed are checked against the restriction table. Dial strings that contain more than the Maximum Digits Allowed are not permitted.
For example, if local calls in your area are seven digits long, and you want to prevent subscribers from using long distance phone numbers, enter 8 in the Maximum Digits Allowed field. (A local number plus the access code for the phone system equals 8 digits.)
Default: 30 digits.
Selected Dial String
Display only. Identifies the dial string in the restriction table that is selected for modifying.
If you click the Add Dial String button, the new dial string is always added to the first row of the restriction table as Dial String 0. Up to 100 dial strings can be specified in a table.
Note that the order of the dial strings is very important. Cisco Unity sequentially compares a phone number to the call patterns in the restriction table, starting with Dial String 0. If a number matches more than one call pattern, the number is permitted or restricted according to the first call pattern it matches.
Allow This String
Select the action that Cisco Unity takes when a number matches a call pattern:
•Yes—Permit use of phone numbers matching the pattern.
•No—Do not permit use of phone numbers matching the pattern.
Default: No.
Call Pattern
Enter specific numbers or patterns of numbers that can be permitted or restricted. Include external and long-distance access codes. Use digits 0 through 9 and the following special characters:
•* to match zero or more digits.
•? to match exactly one digit. Each ? serves as a placeholder for one digit.
•# to correspond to the # key on the phone.
Default: No long distance, no international numbers.
Yes—Permit use of phone numbers matching the pattern.
