Incoming call barring (Caller ID subscribers only)

This feature allows the unit to reject calls from specified phone numbers that you do not want to answer such as junk calls.

When a call is received, the unit does not ring while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call barred list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, and then disconnects the call.
