Overview

Only Phone Terminal and Calling Card extensions allow you to control and filter accessible destinations using the Call Screening feature.

In the Call Screening for Extension <extension_number> page you can set up the screening behavior. You can filter the extension's calls so that the user cannot make calls to the phone numbers defined in the database categories.

To filter the extension's calls, at least one database category must be defined. To customize the screening behavior, use the options grouped under the following sections:

• Call Screening
• Behavior Settings

  • Screen all calls to numbers in - The extension will not be able to call the phone numbers from the database categories that are assigned to be screened.
  • But allow calls to - This section contains the database categories that can be called, OVERRIDING the screening rules previously set for the Screen all calls to numbers in option.
