Add Call Patterns to a Restriction Table

External and long distance access codes should be specified. Digits 0 to 9 and the following special characters are allowed:

  • *—Match zero or more digits

  • .—Match exactly one digit. Each “.” serves as a placeholder for one digit.

  • 9011* (Not allowed)

Restriction Table Examples

Procedure

Step 1

Enter 9011* in the Call Pattern field, select No, and click Add.

Step 2

Enter 91.......... in the Call pattern field, select No, and click Add.

Disallow a Specific Area Code

To disallow a specific area code, except for one phone number within the area code:

Procedure
Step 1

Enter 9011* in the Call Pattern field, select No, and click Add.

Step 2

Enter 915551212 in the Call Pattern field, select Yes, and click Add.

Step 3

Enter 91555....... in the Call Pattern field, select No, and click Add.

The system would first check against the * string, which allows any digits. Therefore, the configuration of any notification number would be permitted, because the 91555* and 9011* strings would not be reached. Moving the * string down to the end of the list would permit any numbers except those that matched in the first two dial strings.
