Black and White Network Number Lists

The Black/White tab of the VPN Network screen allows you to maintain the lists of numbers that are allowed (white lists) and numbers that are barred (black lists) for the VPN.

The black/white lists are global for all stations on the network. All calls are checked against the network black/white lists and then the station black/white lists.

You can maintain the following five types of black and white lists:

• Allowed/Barred

• On Net

• Off Net

• Pin Required

• Pin Not Required

There are two types of call lists that can be specified for each black/white list type:

• Incoming calls from

• Outgoing calls to

The different types of black/white lists for both types of call list may be set to either allowed or barred independently. See Rules - Black and White Network Number Lists.

Note: An empty Allowed list means that nothing is allowed, all attempts to divert will fail. This is the default when a network is created. An empty Barred list means that nothing is barred.

Privileges: This tab is available for editing if you are using VPN standalone and have a privilege level of 4 or above; levels below this will be able to view, but not edit this tab.

Rules - Black and White Network Number Lists

Black and white allowed and barred lists follow these rules:

• An empty allowed list means everything is barred (that is, nothing is allowed)

• An allowed list with numbers entered in it will allow only those numbers (or prefixes)

• An empty barred list will not bar any number (that is, every call is allowed)

• A barred list containing numbers will bar those numbers (or prefixes)

• For a number to be allowed, it must be allowed (or not barred) by both the station and the network Black/White lists

• For a number to be barred, it must be barred (or not allowed) by either the station or the network Black/White lists

The list may contain complete numbers, number prefixes, or a combination of both. Example: Barred list may contain 0900, 04 4773384 and 00.
