Global Incoming Call Services

The Global Incoming Call Services object is a child of the Call Services object.

The Global Incoming Call Services object contains global configuration parameters and statistics for Selective Call Rejection, Anonymous Call Rejection, Do Not Disturb and Priority Call. There is a single Global Incoming Call Services object; it is created before delivery of the MetaSwitch NE and you cannot delete it.

To configure the switch to support a particular Incoming Call service, you need to do the following:

Most parameters relating to each of these services are visible in the EMS System Explorer only when the service is set to Configured or Disabled.

Description
Selective Call Rejection support Change Inactive Specifies whether the switch is currently configured to support Selective Call Rejection. Values:
  • Configured
    The NE supports the service and subscribers can be configured to use it.
  • Not configured
    The NE does not support the service.
  • Disabled
    The NE supports the service but it is currently suspended so that subscribers cannot use it.
Selective Call Rejection - usage sensitive billing Change Inactive Specifies whether the switch supports usage sensitive billing for configuring Selective Call Rejection. This means that subscribers can choose to pay according to the number of times they configure Selective Call Rejection numbers or enable / disable the service, rather than paying a flat rate for having the service enabled. (Call rejections using Selective Call Rejection are not billed individually.) Values:
  • True
  • False (default)
Selective Call Rejection - usage sensitive billing can be denied Change Inactive This field is only visible if Selective Call Rejection - usage sensitive billing is visible and set to True. Specifies whether Selective Call Rejection is affected by the subscriber's Deny all usage sensitive features setting (which specifies whether the subscriber can use any call services that are configured with usage sensitive billing). Values:
  • True (default)
    This feature is not available if it is configured as usage sensitive and the subscriber's Deny all usage sensitive features setting is True.
  • False
    This feature is not affected by the subscriber's Deny all usage sensitive features setting; the subscriber can use it even if it is configured as usage sensitive and the subscriber's Deny all usage sensitive features setting is True.
