๐ซ Black/White List Group Configuration
Reference: VOS3000 2.1.9.07 Manual, Section 2.13.4 (Pages 193-194)
Black/White List Groups in VOS3000 number management provide a mechanism for creating reusable collections of numbers that can be applied to caller or callee black/white list filters on gateways and phones. Group-based list management offers significant advantages over individual number configuration.
๐ Black/White List Group Fields
| ๐ Field | ๐ Description | ๐ก Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Group Name | Descriptive name for the list group | Use clear names like “Known Fraud Numbers” |
| Phone Numbers | List of numbers in the group (full match) | Enter one number per line |

The Dynamic Black List in VOS3000 number management provides visibility into automatically blocked numbers based on system-detected malicious activity or no-answer patterns. Unlike static blacklist configuration, the Dynamic Black List is populated automatically by the system based on configurable detection parameters.
๐ Dynamic Black List Fields
| ๐ Field | ๐ Description |
|---|---|
| Phone Number | The blocked phone number |
| Type | Reason for blocking: Malicious Call or No Answer |
| Effective Date | When the block became active |
| Expiration Time | When the block will automatically expire |
| Last Call Time | Time of the last call before blocking |
| Softswitch | Softswitch node that detected the activity |
โ๏ธ Dynamic Black List Parameters
| โ๏ธ Parameter | ๐ Default | ๐ Function |
|---|---|---|
| SS_BLACK_LIST_CALLER_MALICIOUS_CALL_LIMIT | 1000 | Max calls triggering malicious call blocking |
| SS_BLACK_LIST_CALLER_MALICIOUS_CALL_EXPIRE | 3600 | Duration for malicious call block in seconds |
| SS_BLACK_LIST_NO_ANSWER_LIMIT | 100 | Consecutive no-answer calls triggering block |
| SS_BLACK_LIST_NO_ANSWER_EXPIRE | 3600 | Duration for no-answer block in seconds |
๐จ Malicious Call Detection and Blocking
Malicious call detection within VOS3000 number management protects systems from fraud, abuse, and denial-of-service attacks by identifying and blocking suspicious calling patterns. The detection system monitors call behavior and automatically blocks numbers that exceed configured thresholds.
๐ Types of Malicious Activity Detected
| ๐จ Activity Type | ๐ Description | ๐ Detection Method |
|---|---|---|
| High Concurrent Calls | Excessive simultaneous calls from single number | Concurrent call count threshold |
| Excessive Call Attempts | High call rate over short period | Call attempt rate threshold |
| Premium Destination Abuse | Unusual patterns to premium destinations | Destination pattern analysis |
| Failed Authentication | Repeated authentication failures | Failed auth attempt counter |
๐ No-Answer Call Tracking
No-answer call tracking in VOS3000 number management identifies numbers that consistently generate calls that are never answered, which may indicate suspicious activity such as call testing, number harvesting, or automated dialing with invalid caller ID.
๐ Best Practices for No-Answer Detection
- Set appropriate thresholds: Configure SS_BLACK_LIST_NO_ANSWER_LIMIT based on your typical traffic patterns
- Whitelist legitimate high-no-answer sources: Add call centers and test numbers to System White List
- Monitor Dynamic Black List: Regularly review for patterns that might indicate issues
- Adjust expiration times: Balance security needs against blocking legitimate users
- Document exceptions: Keep records of legitimate numbers with high no-answer rates
๐ Prefix Matching vs Full Match
Understanding the difference between prefix matching and full match in VOS3000 number management is essential for effective configuration. Each matching mode has appropriate use cases and performance characteristics.
๐ Matching Modes Comparison
| ๐ Matching Mode | ๐ How It Works | ๐ผ Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Full Match | Entire number must match exactly | Black/White List Groups, System White List |
| Prefix Match | Number starts with configured pattern | Area Information, Rate Prefixes |
| Wildcard | Pattern matching with * and ? characters | Number Transform, Advanced filtering |
๐ Best Practices for Traffic Control
Effective VOS3000 number management for traffic control requires a balanced approach that provides security without impeding legitimate business operations.
๐ก๏ธ Layered Security Approach
| ๐ก๏ธ Layer | ๐ Mechanism | ๐ Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | System White List | Guarantee access for critical numbers |
| 2 | Black/White List Groups | Business-specific filtering rules |
| 3 | Dynamic Black List | Catch automated attacks |

โ Frequently Asked Questions about VOS3000 Number Management
How do I block a specific phone number in VOS3000?
To block a specific phone number in VOS3000 number management, create a Black/White List Group containing the number, then apply the group as a blacklist to the appropriate gateway or phone configuration. Navigate to Number Management > Black/White List Group, create a new group with a descriptive name, add the number to block, then apply the group to your gateway or phone.
What is the difference between System White List and Black/White List Groups?
The System White List operates at the highest priority level, guaranteeing that listed numbers can never be blocked by any filtering mechanism. It is used for numbers that must always have access. Black/White List Groups are applied at the entity level (gateway or phone) and can be used for both allowing and blocking numbers based on business rules.
How do I remove a number from the Dynamic Black List?
To remove a number from the Dynamic Black List in VOS3000 number management, navigate to Number Management > Dynamic Black List, locate the entry you want to remove, and use the delete function to unblock the number immediately. Consider adding frequently blocked legitimate numbers to the System White List to prevent recurring blocks.
Can I use wildcards in Black/White List Groups?
Black/White List Groups in VOS3000 number management use full match mode, requiring exact number correspondence. Wildcard patterns (* and ?) are not supported in list group entries. If you need pattern-based filtering, consider using number transformation rules or gateway-level filtering options.
How do I configure area-based routing using Area Information?
Area Information provides geographic context for numbers, but routing decisions are made through rate and routing configuration. Configure Area Information prefixes to identify destinations, then use rate management functions to define rates for each prefix, and configure routing to select appropriate gateways for each destination.
