This shows the account’s current condition:

  • Active – This means that the account is able to use the service as usual.

  • Screened – This means that some unusual activity has been detected for this user, thus he will be prompted to enter his “service unblock” code upon attempting to make a new call.

  • Quarantined – This means that after being screened, this account was unable to supply valid credentials while continuing to attempt to make a large number of calls. All such call attempts are automatically blocked to reduce the load on the network.

Change the status to

Here you can manually change the account’s status:

  • Active (allow normal calling) – If the account had been screened or quarantined for some reason and the situation was regulated, you can change the account’s status back to active here.

  • Screened (authenticate before calling) – If some unusual activity has been detected for this account you can screen its calls to prevent a potential security breach.

  • Quarantined (reject all calls) – If you want to temporarily block all call attempts from the account, change its status to quarantined here.

Note that neither the Screened nor the Quarantined status influences on-net calls.
