6. 3. 8 Automatic reject of collect calls
1)
The public network in Brazil offers the possibility of collect calls. A collect call is a call in
which the called party accepts the costs of the call. The called party normally has a few
seconds to reject the collect call before he incurs costs. This decision cannot be made
if the call goes to a fax or automatic answering machine; thus, high, unwanted costs
may be incurred. To prevent misuse, the system can detect and reject collect calls au-
tomatically.
Detection of collect calls
Detection of collect calls depends on which network interface the call comes through:
Tab. 36 Detection of collect calls
Detection of collect calls on analogue network interfaces
A loop-break shortly after seizing (double answer) causes the collect call to be termi-
nated in the public exchange; normal calls, however, can be continued as usual. For
this, with the country settings ( =c3) in the section Collect calls the parameters Loop
break and Pause can be configured.
Handling of collect calls:
Collect call handling is set in the trunk group configuration ( =bg). Basically all col-
lect calls can be rejected, accepted or handled according to destination.
Note:
When incoming calls arrive via SIP network interfaces, collect calls and normal calls cannot dif-
ferentiated. This is why with the setting Reject all collect calls both collect calls and normal calls
are rejected.

If the provider does not support the method with the signal MFC/R2 (default value) to detect collect calls, the
parameter Collect call blocking signal in the view ( =dg) at the CAS interface must be set to Loop break
(double answer). The detection of a collect call will then be carried out as on analogue exchange lines.
Call from the public analogue network The call is not identifiable as a collect call and is routed in accord-
ance with normal routing. Only after call seizing can collect calls be
distinguished from normal calls with a loop-break (see the section
below).
