Syntax for InboundCallRoute

(1/2) > >>

onmyword:
I've searched the web and just cannot find the syntax for the special chars used in the InboundCallRoute string.  Must be some keyword I'm not sure of but I'm stumped...

anyways I was wondering what these meant or if someone has a developer syntax link to share.

Code:


(x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx|xxx555|555|000|un@@.|anon@@.|restri@@.|UN@@.|ANON@@.|RESTRI@@.|?)   


x = digit
? = i'm guessing means empty
@ = no idea
. = no idea




Goal:  Catch bad people from waking me up and send them straight to voice mail without ringing my phone.

Side question: Would there be a way to do the above, but then say whitelist a specific number?

Thank you!
Howard

This post explains the basic idea:

http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=4067.msg27103#msg27103

x = digit
? = blank or no Caller ID
@ = any number or letter
@@. any number or letter followed by one or more numbers or letters

Black listing is easier that white listing, unless you really only have a few numbers you wish to allow calls from and you are happy to ban all other calls.

Thanks ianobi, In your previous post it mentions Peer Number.

Does that InboundCallRoute string try to match against both peer name and number ?

The main purpose of my filtering is to also block something like so:

(Taken from a POTS Caller ID Phone)

Caller Name:
Caller Number: 416-142-2342

Note:  Where the Caller Name is Blank but the rest is valid

Would this soultion also fit that bill ?

ianobi:
If you look in your OBi Call History, it shows Peer Name and Peer Number. All call routing, call barring etc depends on using what is shown in Peer Number. Peer Name has no effect.

In your example if the Peer Number shows as 4161422342, then adding that to the list would ban that number. Your InboundCallRoute might look something like:

{(?|x|xx|xxx|xxxx|xxxxx|xxxxxx|4161422342|un@@.|anon@@.):},{ph}

This method sends the call to the "bit-bucket". That is your OBi appears to not exist. Callers should get fast busy, "number unavailable" etc.

Hello,

I would like to deny all / block all incoming calls excluding a very select list (basically only mum and mum-in-law call the home phone).

PrimaryLine = PSTN
Google Voice is configured as SP1

My understanding is that I must purchase the Caller ID service from my PSTN provider and configure the LINE-InboundCallRoute to:

{(MInboundWhiteList):ph)},{(x.|un@@.|anon@@.):}

where InboundWhiteList is a User Defined DigitMap such as (mums#|mum-in-laws#)

Is this correct?

Thanks!
