Advanced Provisioner - Configuration Tabs - Block Out Rules

Description: The purpose of this article is to provide a detailed overview of the Block Out Rules configuration tab, which is accessible for all devices eligible for provisioning within the Advance Provisioner App.

The Advance Provisioner App serves as the primary digital workspace for configuring advanced settings on provisioned devices. For every device from any manufacturer, there is a roster of configuration tabs, each containing different parameters. Once you have added a new device, you will have the opportunity to customize a distinct set of configuration tabs tailored to that specific device.

In all the tabs, parameters can be classified into two types: 

• those that require manual input of values.
• those that provide a dropdown list of options.

Certain fields may initially contain pre-filled values inherited from server and account settings. These inherited values may vary depending on the specific server and account configurations.

Within this article, we will examine the Block Out Rules configuration tab and its parameters available for customization.

Block Out Rules Configuration Tab

When adding a new device or configuring an existing one, the Lines configuration tab will be the initial

default view.

To navigate to the Block Out Rules configuration tab, click on its name in the configuration tab roster. 

When you open the selected tab, you will encounter the table of rules. For each rule listed, you can configure its parameters.

The parameters within the following sections are set up individually for each Rule. Currently, there is no possibility to copy the settings of one Rule to another.

The number of rules may differ depending on the device. By pressing the pencil badge on a particular record in this table, you can configure the parameters of the selected rule.

The parameters available for configuration for the selected rule are packed in a single subtab:

• Rule: within this section, you can set a list of phone numbers that will be prohibited from establishing connections when making calls to specific lines on the configured device.

There are two parameters that need to be configured here:

• Number: here, you can list phone Numbers, separated by commas, and any calls received from these Numbers will be blocked.
• Lines: within this field, you can list lines, separated by commas, that will block the Numbers enlisted in the previous field.

Make sure to press the "Save" button to apply all the changes you have made to the parameters.
