[cisco-voip] how to allow alternate routes for unregistered phones

[Kelemen Zoltan]

Thanks for all the suggestions.

For those that might find this later: the CSS used for forwarding back 
to the PBX *should not* contain the partition for the phone itself, or 
it will not work. At least that's what I've found. If the forward CSS 
contains the partition of the phone (or the phone has no partition) it 
will always try the phone and give busy for unregistered phones, even if 
the partition for the PBX has a higher priority in the CSS ...

Now my question: if the PBX calls in for 452, using it's own CSS that 
does not allow it to go back to itself, and 452 is CFNA (or CFwdALL) to 
452, with a CSS (for forwarding) that contains ONLY the path to the PBX, 
what happens? How will the CSS-es be resolved? what takes precedence?

thanks,
  Zoltan
