Allowed / Disallowed Lists Feature
Description
Wild Card for Allowed Lists
In Release 1.5 or later MERLIN MAGIX systems, you can use one-to-one wild
card character matching in Allowed List entries. Press Hold to enter a wild
card character. The character appears as a "p" on telephone displays
and in the printed report.
Consider the following when you use wild card characters in Allowed and Disallowed
Lists:
- Disallowed List entries can be from 1 to 12 characters in length.
- Before a dialed number is compared to an entry in the Allowed List, the
leading "1" is dropped. Thus, an Allowed List entry of "p67"
(where "p" is the wild card character) matches dialed numbers of
"267," "367," etc., but not "167."
- When a dialed number is compared to an entry in the Disallowed List, the
leading "1" is not dropped. Thus, a Disallowed List entry
of "p67" matches dialed numbers of "167," "267,"
"367," etc.
- You cannot use a wild card character to match a
* or # in an Allowed List or a Disallowed
List.
- A wild card character in any position in a Disallowed List entry matches
dialed number 0-9 when the dialed number is not part of a star code.
- A wild card character in positions 2-13 in an Allowed List entry matches
dialed numbers 0-9 when the dialed number is not part of a star code.
- A wild card character in position 1 in an Allowed List entry matches dialed
numbers 0 and 2-9.
- If a star code is an entry in an Allowed or Disallowed List, that entry
should only have the star code because anything entered in the list after
the star code is ignored by the system. The following entries are valid:
The following are examples of entries that should not be placed in the Allowed
or Disallowed List:
- *67201
- *69914
- *702125551212
- *2004319255
- If a star code is an entry in an Allowed or Disallowed List and a dialed
number matches the star code, the Allowed/Disallowed process is reset after
the match is done. Any digits dialed after the star code are compared to entries
in the Allowed/Disallowed Lists for restriction processing.
For example: * 67 and 420 are two entries
in an Allowed List. If someone at an Outward Restricted extension dials
* 67 420-1234, the call succeeds. If the person at the same Outward Restricted
extension dials * 67 431-1234, the call fails
(431 is not in the Allowed List). If the person at the same extension dials
420-1234, the call succeeds. This type of processing also applies to Disallowed
Lists.
- Disallowed List 7 has a new default entry. Entry 9 has a value of "ppp976"
to support the 10-digit dialing available in Release 1.5 or later systems.
When you upgrade from a MERLIN MAGIX Release 1.0 system or from a MERLIN LEGEND
system to a MERLIN MAGIX Release 1.5 or later system, you must add this new
entry to Disallowed List 7 during conversion.
