Author blocking a specific unwanted inbound call
Joshua Abbey

2006-06-09, 1:11 pm

Is there any way for a CCM 4.0sr2a, with MGCP 2651xm gateways to
selectively block or drop calls inbound from a specific phone number?
We've been receiving unwanted calls from an ex-employee, just calling and
hanging up, calling and hanging up, and it is apparently not threatening
enough for the police to do anything. Does anyone know if this is doable?

The easiest way is to call the phone company and request it be blocked
from their end.

I guess it will also depend on the callers ID which can change - might
not always call from the same source

He is, for the moment, calling from the same number

Try creating a Route Pattern in CCM with the specific pattern that
matches the caller id of the unwanted call. Change the Route Pattern
to block the call. You will need to select a GW but the call will not
go to that GW, the call will be disconnected. Make sure the Route
Pattern is in a Partition the GW can call. Be careful that the
Partition is not callable from the phone's CSS as it would block your
users from calling that person (maybe that is desirable too :-)

If you have an H323 gateway you can use answer-address to match upon the ANI on a dial-peer and then drop the call.

Route-Patterns ONLY match upon DNIS, the number that you are calling and cannot be done in MGCP.

I think you need to think through the legal implications.

You are better off going through your upstream provider and filing the
appropriate grievances.

A more appropriate solution would be to allow those calls in but forward
them to a specific endpoint (SCCP ?) answered by your legal dept.

IMHO.
