Call Blocking

Information About Call Blocking

Call Blocking Based on Date and Time (After-Hours Toll Bar)

Call blocking to prevent unauthorized use of phones is implemented by matching dialed numbers against a pattern of specified digits and matching the time against the time of day and day of week or date that has been specified for Call Blocking. You can specify up to 32 patterns of digits for blocking.

When a user attempts to place a call to digits that match a pattern that has been specified for Call Blocking during a time period that has been defined for Call Blocking, a fast busy signal is played for approximately 10 seconds. The call is then terminated and the line is placed back in on-hook status.

The Cisco Unified CME session application accesses the current after-hours configuration and applies it to calls originated by phones that are registered to the Cisco Unified CME router. Call blocking applies to all IP phones in Cisco Unified CME, although individual IP phones can be exempted from all call blocking.

In Cisco CME 3.4 and later versions, the same time-based call-blocking mechanism that is provided for SCCP phone and on analog phones connected to SCCP-controlled analog telephone adaptors (Cisco ATA) or SCCP-controlled foreign exchange station (FXS) ports is expanded to SIP endpoints.

In Cisco CME 3.4 and later, call-blocking configuration applies to all SCCP, H.323, SIP and POTS calls that go through the Cisco Unified CME router. All incoming calls to the router, except calls from an exempt phone, are also checked against the after-hours configuration.

Prior to Cisco Unified CME 4.2(1), all Call Blocking features are implemented globally and uniformly on each phone in the system. All phones are similarly restricted according to time, date, location, and other call blocking characteristics. Call Blocking is not supported on ephone-dns that are configured to use the trunk feature, and Call Blocking did not apply to second-stage trunk dialing.

In Cisco Unified CME 4.2(1) and later versions, you have the flexibility to set different call block calendars and call block patterns to phones in different departments, to block certain trunk dialing as required, and to configure Call Blocking on a particular SCCP IP phone by creating and applying a template to that phone.

For configuration information, see Configure Call Blocking.

After-Hours Pattern-Blocking Support for Regular Expressions

In Cisco Unified CME 9.5, support for afterhours pattern blocking is extended to regular expression patterns for dial plans on Cisco Unified SIP phones and Cisco Unified SCCP IP phones. With this support, users can add a combination of fixed dial plans and regular expression-based dial plans.

When a call is initiated after hours, the dialed number is matched against a combination of dial plans. If a match is found, the call is blocked.

To enable regular expression patterns to be included when configuring afterhours pattern blocking, the after-hours block pattern command is modified to include regular expressions as a value for the pattern argument in the following command syntax:

after-hours block pattern pattern-tag pattern

This command is available in the following configuration modes:

  • telephony-service—For both SCCP and SIP Phones.

  • ephone-template—For SCCP phones only.


Note

The maximum length of a regular expression pattern is 32 for both Cisco Unified SIP and Cisco Unified SCCP IP phones.

If calls to the following numbers are to be blocked after hours:

  • numbers beginning with ‘0’ and ‘00’

  • numbers beginning with 1800, followed by four digits

  • numbers 9876512340 to 9876512345

then the following configurations can be used:

  • after-hours block pattern 1 0*

  • after-hours block pattern 2 00*

  • after-hours block pattern 3 1800….

  • after-hours block pattern 4 987651234[0-5]


Note

There is no change in the number of afterhours patterns that can be added. The maximum number is still 100.

After-hours block pattern 0* blocks all numbers, and 00* blocks any number starting from 0. 0* and 00* must not be denoted as regular expressions.

For more configuration examples, see Example for Configuring After-Hours Block Patterns of Regular Expressions section.

For a summary of the basic Cisco IOS regular expression characters and their functions, see Cisco Regular Expression Pattern Matching Characters section of Terminal Services Configuration Guide.

Call Blocking Override

The after-hours configuration applies globally to all dial peers in Cisco Unified CME. You can disable the feature on phones using one of three mechanisms:

  • directory number—To configure an exception for an individual directory number.

  • phone-level—To configure an exception for all directory numbers associated to a Cisco Unified IP phone regardless of any configuration for an individual directory number.

  • dial peer—To configure an exception for a particular dial peer.

Individual phone users can be allowed to override call blocking associated with designated time periods by entering personal identification numbers (PINs) that have been assigned to their phones. For IP phones that support soft keys, such as the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940G and the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G, the call-blocking override feature allows individual phone users to override the call blocking that has been defined for designated time periods. The system administrator must first assign a personal identification number (PIN) to any phone that will be allowed to override Call Blocking.

Logging in to a phone with a PIN only allows the user to override call blocking that is associated with particular time periods. Blocking patterns that are in effect 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and they cannot be overridden by using a PIN.

When PINs are configured for call-blocking override, they are cleared at a specific time of day or after phones have been idle for a specific amount of time. The time of day and amount of time can be set by the system administrator, or the defaults can be accepted.

For configuration information, see Configure Call Blocking.

Class of Restriction

Class of restriction (COR) is the capability to deny certain call attempts based on the incoming and outgoing class of restrictions provisioned on the dial peers. COR specifies which incoming dial peer can use which outgoing dial peer to make a call. Each dial peer can be provisioned with an incoming and an outgoing COR list.

COR functionality provides flexibility in network design by allowing users to block calls (for example, calls to 900 numbers) and allowing different restrictions to call attempts from different originators.

For SIP phones, multiple COR lists can be applied under the voice register pool . A maximum of ten lists (five incoming and five outgoing) can be defined. The final COR list that is applied depends on the DN that the phone registers with the CME. This DN should match any one of the ranges defined in the COR list under the voice register pool.

For SIP Phones on Unified CME Release 12.1 and later versions, COR lists can be applied under voice register template configuration mode as well. If the COR list is configured under voice register pool and voice register template , the configuration under voice register pool takes precedence. If the COR list configuration under voice register pool is removed, the configuration under voice register template is applied.

Configure Call Blocking

Configure Call Blocking

To define blocking patterns and time periods during which calls to matching patterns are blocked for all SCCP and SIP endpoints in Cisco Unified CME, to define blocking patterns to be matched to block calls from PSTN lines, and to deactivate logins on SCCP phones at a specific time or for a specified time period, perform the following steps.


Restriction

  • Prior to Cisco CME 3.3, Call Blocking is not supported on analog phones connected to Cisco ATAs or FXS ports in H.323 mode.

  • Prior to Cisco CME 3.4, Call Blocking is not supported on SIP IP phones connected directly in Cisco Unified CME.

  • Prior to Cisco Unified CME 4.2(1), selective Call Blocking on IP phones and PSTN trunk lines is not supported.

Before you begin

  • Dial-peers are configured to provide PSTN access using router voice-ports or H.323/SIP trunk connections.

Configure Call Blocking Override for All SCCP Phones

To define the Call Blocking override code to be entered by a phone user to override all call-blocking rules, perform the following steps.


Restriction

  • Call Blocking override is supported only on phones that support softkey display.

  • If the after-hours override code is the same as the night-service code, after hours Call Blocking is disabled.

  • Both override codes defined in telephony-service and override codes defined in ephone-template are enabled on all phones.

  • If a global telephony-service override code overlaps an ephone-template override code and contains more digits, an outgoing call is disabled wherever the telephony-service override code is used on phones with the ephone template applied. For example, if the telephony-service override code is 6241 and the ephone-template override code is 62, those phones with the ephone template applied will sound a fast busy tone if the 6241 override code is dialed.

Before you begin

Router# show ephone login 
 
ephone 1        Pin enabled:TRUE        Logged-in:FALSE
ephone 2        Pin enabled:FALSE
ephone 3        Pin enabled:FALSE

Step 3

The show voice register dial-peer command displays all the dial peers created dynamically by SIP phones that have registered, along with configurations for after hours blocking.

Apply Class of Restriction to a Directory Number on SCCP Phone

To apply a class of restriction to a directory number, perform the following steps.


Restriction

  • In a Call Redirection scenario (either Call Forward or Call Forward Busy), when you select an outgoing dial peer, CUCME considers the Class of Restriction applied on the originating extension instead of the one applied on the redirecting extension. This is because the redirecting extension is an intermediate dial peer that is used temporarily.

Before you begin

  • COR lists must be created in dial peers. For information, see Class of Restrictions section in the “Dial Peer Configuration on Voice Gateway Routers” document in the Cisco IOS Voice Configuration Library.

  • Directory number to which COR is to be applied must be configured in Cisco Unified CME. For configuration information, see Create Directory Numbers for SCCP Phones.

Configures a COR on the dial peers associated with an ephone-dn.

Step 5

end

Example:

Router(config-ephone-dn)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Apply Class of Restriction to Directory Number on SIP Phones

To apply a class of restriction to virtual dial peers for directory numbers associated with a SIP IP phone connected to Cisco Unified CME, perform the following steps.


Restriction

  • In a Call Redirection scenario (either Call Forward or Call Forward Busy), when you select an outgoing dial peer, CUCME considers the Class of Restriction applied on the originating extension instead of the one applied on the redirecting extension. This is because the redirecting extension is an intermediate dial peer that is used temporarily.

Before you begin

  • Cisco unified CME 3.4 or a later version.

  • COR lists must be created in dial peers. For information, see Class of Restrictions section in the “Dial Peer Configuration on Voice Gateway Routers” document in the Cisco IOS Voice Configuration Library.

  • Individual phones to which COR is to be applied must be configured in Cisco Unified CME. For configuration information, see Create Directory Numbers for SCCP Phones.

  • The COR list configuration under voice register template configuration mode is supported only for Unified CME 12.1 and later releases.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Step 3

Enter one of the following commands:

  • voice register pool pool-tag
  • voice register template template-tag

Example:

Router(config)# voice register pool 3

Enters voice register pool configuration mode to set phone-specific parameters for a SIP phone in Cisco Unified CME.

  • pool-tag—Unique number assigned to the pool. Range is 1 to 100.

or

Enters voice register template configuration mode and defines a template of common parameters for Cisco Unified SIP IP phones.

  • template-tag—Declares a template tag. Range is 1 to 10.

Step 4

cor{ incoming | outgoing} cor-list-name { cor-list-number starting-number [ - ending-number ] | default}

Example:

Router(config-register-pool)# cor incoming call91191011

Configures a class of restriction (COR) for the dynamically created VoIP dial peers associated with directory numbers and specifies which incoming dial peer can use which outgoing dial peer to make a call.

  • Each dial peer can be provisioned with an incoming and an outgoing COR list.

Step 5

end

Example:

Router(config-register-pool)# end

Exits configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC mode.

Verify Class of Restriction

Procedure

Step 1

Use the show running-config command or the show telephony-service ephone-dn command to verify whether the COR lists have been applied to the appropriate ephone-dns.

Example:

Router# show running-config 

ephone-dn 23
 number 2835
 corlist outgoing 5x
 

Step 2

Use the show dialplan dialpeer command to determine which outbound dial peer is matched for an incoming call, based on the COR criteria and the dialed number specified in the command line. Use the timeout keyword to enable matching variable-length destination patters associated with dial peers. This can increase your chances of finding a match for the dial peer number you specify.

Example:


Router# show dialplan dialpeer  300 number 1900111
 
VoiceOverIpPeer900
        information type = voice,
        description = `',
        tag = 900, destination-pattern = `1900',
        answer-address = `', preference=0,
        numbering Type = `unknown'
        group = 900, Admin state is up, Operation state is up,
        incoming called-number = `', connections/maximum = 0/unlimited,
        DTMF Relay = disabled,
        modem passthrough = system,
        huntstop = disabled,
        in bound application associated: 'DEFAULT'
        out bound application associated: ''

        Last Setup Time = 0.
Matched: 19001111   Digits: 4
Target: ipv4:1.8.50.7

Step 3

Use the show dial-peer voice command to display the attributes associated with a particular dial peer.

Example:


Router# show dial-peer voice  100
 
VoiceEncapPeer100
        information type = voice,
        description = `',

 Configuration Examples for Call Blocking

Example for Configuring Call Blocking

The following example defines several patterns of digits for which outgoing calls are blocked. Patterns 1 and 2, which block calls to external numbers that begin with “1” and “011,” are blocked on Monday through Friday before 7 a.m. and after 7 p.m., on Saturday before 7 a.m. and after 1 p.m., and all day Sunday. Pattern 3 blocks calls to 900 numbers 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The IP phone with tag number 23 and MAC address 00e0.8646.9242 is not restricted from calling any of the blocked patterns.

Example for Configuring Class of Restriction

The following example shows three dial peers for dialing local destinations, long distance, and 911. COR list user1 can access the dial peers used to call 911 and local destinations. COR list user2 can access all three dial peers. Ephone-dn 1 is assigned COR list user1 to call local destinations and 911, and ephone-dn 2 is assigned COR list user2 to call 911, local destinations, and long distance.
