General Call Service Controls

The General Call Service Controls object is a child of the Call Services object. It contains global configuration parameters and statistics for all types of Call Services. There is a single General Call Service Controls object which is created before delivery of the MetaSwitch VP3000 and cannot be destroyed by the user.

The Screen List Editing parameters in this object are used in the interactive menu system that a subscriber uses to configure lists of telephone numbers used with Call Services (Selective Call Forwarding, Selective Call Rejection, Distinctive Ringing / Call Waiting).
