privacy.conf
The privacy.conf file is used to
control the maximum number of tries a user has to enter his 10-digit
telephone number in the PrivacyManager() application. The PrivacyManager()
application determines if a Caller ID is set for the incoming call. The
user enters his 10-digit number within the number of tries configured in
privacy.conf, the application sets the PRIVACYMGRSTATUS channel variable to either
SUCCESS or FAILED. If the Caller ID is set, the
application does nothing.
Note
The PrivacyManager()
application can also accept the arguments in the dialplan. This allows
the value to remain in memory, instead of an I/O operation to the disk
to read the configuration file, which you would only worry about with
high usage of this application (many calls per second).
