Call Blocking
Description
Call Blocking prevents Automated Attendant callers from reaching a subscriber’s extension and sends them
back to the Automated Attendant. If a Subscriber Mailbox has Call Blocking enabled, the mailbox will block
calls routed to the subscriber’s extension from the following:
â– Screened Transfers (TRF)
â– Unscreened Transfers (UTRF)
â– Directory Dialing actions (DIRF and DIRL)
â– Calls routed from a Directory Dialing Mailbox
Call Blocking could be appropriate for company executives and other high priority employees. It would pre-
vent a caller that has obtained a list of company extensions, for example, from directly dialing an executive’s
extension. The outside caller would instead be sent immediately to the operator (i.e., the dial 0 destination
defined in the active Dial Action Table).
