The ANI Screening Entry object defines an ANI value, or a range of ANI values identified by a prefix, for which long-distance calls are permitted or denied.
Most of the fields in this object (except for the Export fields) provide subscriber configuration parameters that are used for subscribers making long-distance calls (overriding the codes defined for local subscribers if applicable). These fields do not appear if Entry type is set to Denied.
The ANI Screening Entry object is a child of the ANI Screening Table object.
