Using Traffic Processing Rules

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 Src 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).

Case 3: You can block calls by sending to non-existent Terminator via Traffic Processing. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Management → Traffic Processing.

2. Click Add Rule button and fill in all required fields. For example: select Orig type and Customer A, Src Match - ^380.*$, Tags Add - "blocked" (see screenshot below).

   

3. Go to the Management → Clients and check the Routing Plan that was assigned to Customer A.

4. Open the Routing → Routing Plans section.

5. Create a Routing Rule for this Routing Plan with next parameters: Code - "*", Type - Static Client, Terminator - Term, Originator Tags - "blocked" and enable Stop Hunt checkbox.
