I think you can use Call Blocking.

That means that I need put working hours as after hours?

Hi Rafael,

That is correct my friend :) In most cases people only want this type of Call Blocking for after hours, but in your case you would want to include your working hours in the "after Hours" as well.

after-hours day day start-time stop-time

Example:

Router(config-telephony)# after-hours day sun 0:00 23:59

Defines a recurring period based on day of the week during which outgoing calls that match defined block patterns are blocked on IP phones

â€¢Enter beginning and ending times for call blocking, in an HH:MM format using a 24-hour clock. The stop- time must be greater than the start-time. The value 24:00 is not valid. If you enter 00:00 as a stop time, it is changed to 23:59. If you enter 00:00 for both start time and stop time, calls are blocked for the entire 24-hour period on the specified day.

Cheers!
