The outgoing phone list and incoming phone list contain the phone numbers of
remote routers. The router places calls using numbers in the outgoing phone list
and verifies incoming calls using numbers in the incoming phone list. Each
remote router may have one or more phone numbers. The router dials the phone
numbers in the order in which they occur in the list.
The local phone list contains the local router’s phone numbers. It uses these
numbers to identify itself when it places a call.
The following sections describe how the router uses phone lists for ISDN and
modem calls.
How ISDN Calls Use Phone Lists
For ISDN calls, the router uses the outgoing, incoming, and local phone lists. The
instructions to configure each phone list begin on page 13-4
.
Outgoing and Incoming Phone Lists
The router uses the outgoing phone list to place calls to remote routers on an
ISDN network.
The router uses the incoming phone list to implement incoming call filtering. The
list contains the phone numbers of only authorized callers. You use incoming call
filtering with caller ID service, which lets you identify a remote caller. If you
enable incoming call filtering, the router matches the caller’s phone number with a
number in the incoming phone list. If the number is not in the list, the router
rejects the call.Features such as callback for demand circuits rely on incoming call
filtering for certain callback modes. For more information about the callback
feature, see “Callback” on page 6-8.
Note:
Outgoing phone lists are associated with a specific circuit, not with the
line, which the router uses for many different circuits. Consequently, the phone
numbers are part of each circuit’s configuration, not the line’s configuration.
Caution:
To use incoming call filtering, you must purchase caller ID service.
If you enable incoming call filtering without having caller ID service, the
router rejects all incoming calls.
