• Live reply
• Message notification
• Nonsubscriber message delivery
• Caller call flow customization (see “Configuring Call Flow Customization” section on page 18.)
For each of these features, the restriction table controls the phone numbers that subscribers can use to
access the feature. These restrictions are available only for phone devices and numeric pagers.
The system provides a predefined table that can be modified by the administrator. The table applies to
all subscribers and groups on the system. A typical use of this table is to prevent the use of long-distance
or international numbers for the feature
The system checks the restriction table when the subscriber is assigning phone numbers to phone devices
(such as a cell phone, home phone, or work phone), to a numeric pager, and before making an outcall.
If a phone number is listed in the table as restricted, the system sends a message to the subscriber.
If a subscriber has a number configured for a device and the administrator later restricts that number
system-wide, notification calls will not be made to that number. The administrator must remove the
number for the individual subscriber.
Cisco Unity Express provides a default restriction table that defines two requirements:
• Minimum and maximum number of digits, including access codes, allowed in a phone number. The
minimum is 1 digit and the maximum is 30 digits. The default is 1 digit.
• A maximum of 10 dial strings that represent the restricted numbers. Each string consists of a call
pattern and a setting that specifies if a phone number matching the pattern is restricted or not.
Valid patterns can include digits 0 to 9, asterisk (*), and dot (.). The * indicates a match of zero or
more digits. Each dot serves as a placeholder for 1 digit.
Valid setting values are allowed or disallowed.
When a subscriber tries to set up or change a phone number assigned to a device, the system verifies
that the number has the allowed number of digits. If it does not, the subscriber receives a system
message.
If the number of digits is acceptable, the system checks the number against the dial patterns in the
restriction table, starting with the first pattern (preference 1). If the number does not match the first
pattern, the system checks the next pattern in the table (preference 2), and so forth until a match is
found. The system either permits or restricts the call as specified in the dial string.
The default restriction table permits all phone numbers to be used, as shown in Table 18-5.
You can change only the preference and permission of this pattern.
The restriction table can contain identical dial strings, which have the same call pattern and permission
setting. This includes the default pattern. You can delete any of these dial strings if the table contains at
least one default pattern.
Table 18-6 illustrates a restriction table with international numbers and restricted numbers.
