Blocking calls in CUCM (Beginner)

AnthonySMillsIT

I am not a phone systems person. But I am IT at a small company so I end up doing most everything. I'd also like to add that my predecessor left NO documentation, things worked, so I don't try to change anything until it breaks. I am documenting everything as I go along though.

 

We have CM, Unity, Jabber, and Finesse running for our CSRs to answer calls in from customers. I somewhat have figured my way around CM enough to create users and get everything working for the new users. But we have been getting a lot of calls from 915.400.XXXX that is not anywhere we would have customers. So I tried to block the calls in CM with the settings in the picture but it does not seem to work. 

 

I know there are many posts about this but I have read them and am more confused about it. I do not know if we are H323 or MGCP or what router I would try to add the voice translation rules to. I have tried to connect to our main router but it doesn't have any voice cmds, I tried to go to the CLI of our CM and it does not have those either. 

 

Can someone look at my image and see what I did wrong there? Or can someone explain where I need to put the voice translation rules if that is the only way to do call blocking.

You can find the Gateway  type from CUCM gateway page.Based on the type of gateway we can have different options.

It looks like all of our gateways are H.323 Gateways. Would I need to log onto each router and put in:

dialpeer 10

voice translation-rule 200
 rule 1 reject /915400!/
 !
voice translation-profile REJECT-CALLS
 translate calling 200

 

Is there a reason my attached image that I setup in CUCM isn't working?

I typically do not put any configuration in Call Manager to block an incoming call it all goes in the PSTN router.  I think your config looks good, but you need to apply the profile and the call-reject to the incoming dial-peer.

 

Create voice translation-rule

                Add rule reject /########/

Create voice translation-profile name

Assign to incoming dial-peer

                call-block translation-profile incoming name

                disconnect-cause

 

I think you need to add these 2 lines to your PSTN incoming dial-peer:

call-block translation-profile incoming REJECT-CALLS

call-block disconnect-cause incoming call-reject
