JeraSoft VCS offers several ways to block codes or whole destinations during the Dynamic Routing.

  1. The easiest way to block routes from routing scheme is by creating specific presets. In order to add/remove routing presets either for origination or termination routes, you need to follow the next steps:
    • Go to the Management → Presets.
    • Click New Preset button.
    • Specify a Deny action and fill in all required fields to block desired destination or code.

To view all Presets of a respective Client, click on the Preset icon next to the Originator or Terminator on the list.

  1. You can block routes by creating specific Traffic Processing Rules and replacing Dst Number. To do so, follow these steps:
    • Go to the Management → Traffic Processing.
    • Click Add Rule button and fill in all required fields.
tip

If the number is "123#456", match field is ^123#(.*)$ and replace field is 789\1, then the resulting number will be "789456".

Case 1: block a specific calls destination (for example, calls from Ukraine to the USA). To configure a respective rule, select Orig type and Customer A, Code - "1*", Src Match - ^380.*$ and Dst Replace - blocked. As the result, Dst Number will be replaced to "blocked" and all calls of "Customer A" from Ukraine to USA will be denied (see screenshot below).

Case 2: block calls with an empty Scr Match. To configure a respective rule, select Orig type and Customer A, Src Match - ^\s*$ and Dst Replace - "blocked". As the result, Dst Number will be replaced to "blocked" and respective calls will be denied (see screenshot below).
