4.5 Privacy Rules
You can allow or ban another person from contacting you. There are separate rules for each “action” – incoming
phone calls, incoming instant messages, and availability detection. You can ban or allow an individual person,
or an entire domain. You can set up a default rule, which applies when the incoming phone call, instant message
or availability request does not fall in the scope of a specific rule.
You can also ban a person in the Received, Dialed or Blocked list. Right-click on the name and choose Ban this
Person.
Privacy Rules Window
Click at the top of the phone and choose Privacy Rules. The Privacy Rules window appears.
The window always shows at least one rule: the default rule. The window may also show some specific (non-
default) rules; these rules were added during the availability exchange. See “Sharing Availability” on page 23.
Adding a Name or Domain
1. Click Add. The Add new privacy rules dialog box appears.
2. Complete the dialog box. If you click “Add rule for a person”, enter a SIP address. If you omit the domain,
your domain is automatically added when you click Add. If you click “Add rule for a domain”, enter just the
domain.
The new name is added to the Privacy Rules list with all the settings set to Allow or all the settings set to
Deny.
3. Change individual actions, if necessary.
From now on, if a new contact request is received from this person, eyeBeam automatically responds according
to the rule: the New Contact Request dialog box will not be displayed.
Each action has its
own setting
