How to block a caller?

I use Obi100. How to block some numbers from calling in? Hope these is such a feature in the product. Please advise the setting. Thank you.

Richards - welcome to the forum.
There's a big issue with sip scanners, which may appear as random calls from odd numbers. See here:
http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=5467.msg35387#msg35387
If you just want to block a few CallerIDs, then this can be done by changing the relevant InboundCallRoute. For example:
Voice Services > SP1 Service > X_InboundCallRoute:
{(12222222222|13333333333):},{ph}
12222222222 & 13333333333 will be blocked. All other CallerIDs will ring the phone.
Make changes via the Obi Expert Configuration pages. From your OBi Dashboard, click on your OBi number and follow the prompts to get there. To change a value uncheck both boxes to the right of the value and leave them unchecked. After changing the value, press submit at the bottom of the page and wait a few minutes for the Obi to reboot.

I would add that if the problem is not SIP scanners, but instead is some real known callers, it is generally easier to do that blocking with your VOIP provider....
Your VOIP provider cannot filter out SIP scanners, because those are not going through your VOIP provider.

Thanks. I am only going to block some nuisant guys. They are known numbers. How to put their numbers into the block list? I use "admin" to log into my ATA, and then where can I find the place to add those numbers? Thank you.

Thank you too, Sir. But my VOIP provider "Freephoneline" doesn't seem to have this function to add some blocking numbers.
