The specified calls will be rejected. Please note that at present this applies to the named ruleset only; new rulesets will need to have them added. For this reason we encourage maintaining Contact groups if you expect to generate multiple rulesets and rejecting that group.


• Click on the “Save” button when finished. A small "Config File Updated" message will appear in green, indicating the changes have been saved.
