Table to deny callers based on their Caller-ID??

[ccctech]

Is their a way to create a table of phone-numbers that are denied based on their caller-id info? Customer is using ISDN PRI with about 400 DID's. I have accomplished this for an idvidual extension using VDN/Vector, but I would like to accomplish this for all DID's using a single table. I have read the thread on the EC500 method, but wouldn't that use a licensed XMoblie port per ANI? Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you looking to block calls coming in from a group of numbers?
You could maybe use Vector Routing Tables?

change vrt 1

goto step 6 if ani in table 1

You can use ? as a wildcard in the VRT.

The customer is trying to block certain numbers, which they will continually add new numbers in time, but not necessarily a consecutive range of numbers. Can all incoming DID calls from an ISDN trunk group look into a single VRT and deny the call or pass on the call to the end user?

Well, not really.
The VRT can only be used in a vector. So all the calls that come into a VDN can have a step inserted in the vector to check the ANI is not in the VRT.
So numbers to a direct dial extension will not be able to check this table.

Also, each VRT can only hold 100 numbers, so your vectors might have to check 3,4,5... tables before deciding wether to progress the call or not. This might amount to a lot of vector changes dependant on your setup.
