Block- and allowlist
Block- and allowlists are created in the exchange line routing for system-wide usage and are assigned to users, groups or special functions. The PBX distinguishes between two types of lists:
Blocklist incoming
If you do not want to be reached by certain numbers or if you want to prevent callers from reaching a remote extension, their external numbers and/or anonymous callers can be assigned to a blocklist for incoming calls.
Allowlist incoming
If you still want to allow specific people to call you despite enabled Do-not-Disturb function, their external numbers can be assigned to an allowlist for incoming calls in the PBX.
*Further help under Do-not-Disturb
Blocklist outgoing
To prevent that users or groups call certain phone numbers, these numbers can be entered in the blocklist for outgoing calls.
*Further help under Exchange line routing
Allowlist outgoing
Phone numbers that are on the allowlist for outgoing calls unblocks individual phone numbers/number ranges blocked by the exchange line routing.
