Want to block inbound calls in Cisco Call Manager 4.13 from specific
sales callers who just don't get the message we don't want to hear from
them.

Have not been able to figure out how to use Route Patterns (chapter 22
of the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide) to block incoming calls
based on caller ID. I've entered a specific phone number as a route
pattern, yet various configurations of route patterns set to reject
those calls are useless.

Yes, I know Caller ID can be spoofed, but the user wants this, and this
user gets what the user wants. It's not my decision so discussion of
the lameness of the concept is off-topic, IMHO.

Your on topic responses would be appreciated.

Thank you.

What is your PSTN gateway? Is it PRI or T1? It's possible to block some
inbound calls on H.323 gateways (for example, if you have Cisco router with
Voice card), but not in the CallManager itself.

Another thing you may do - go to www.donotcall.gov and register your inbound
call numbers. It's free for you, and all telemarketers should follow these
rules. If you will receive calls after you registered your number there, you
may report the number on that website, and they will have a problem.

Good luck,

Mike

Ummm, you missed the fine print. DNC only works for residential.

Sucks, but that's the rule.

Do you have a Cisco CCO account to access all areas of Cisco website? Here
is a link, how to block calls based on various parameters:

OK. I read the Cisco document you cited,
Number Translation using Voice Translation Profiles
Document ID: 64020
http://tinyurl.com/zbvdy

and, in the second sentence, it states

Cisco strongly recommends you only use one scheme of translation
rules.
If you mix the old and new schemes, you can have unforeseen results.

OK. Already using Cisco CallManager Translation Patterns, 117 of them.
That would seem to be the "old scheme" they're referring to?

Getting Voice Translation Profiles upo and running also looks like
Terra Incognita to me, but I will go and read a bit. Cisco's NetPro
forums
http://tinyurl.com/zcsgx
have a useful discussion of such. This example from there shows how to
block calls from the White House:

voice translation-rule 1
rule 1 reject \^2024561212\

voice translation-profile incoming
translate called 1

voip-incoming translation-profile incoming

Real quick.

If you are running MGCP on your gateway the above solution will NOT work.

It will only work with H.323 or if you are in SRST fallback.
