[cisco-voip] Unattended Port - Check this check box to indicate an unattended port on this device.

[Norton, Mike]

I've often wondered the same thing, and have also found it doesn't seem to affect anything. The documentation Mathew quoted doesn't really give me a better understanding of what it does. Typical of Cisco documentation: "Unattended Port - check this box if it's an unattended port." Gee, thanks.

What is the meaning of the term "unattended port" and why would I want to use this checkbox?

Unattended Port


Check this check box if calls can be redirected, transferred and forwarded to an unattended port, such as a voice mail port.

The default value for this check box is unchecked.

I'm feeling kind of lazy today and got tired of searching the Cisco documentation for the "Unattended Port" checkbox that appears when configuring an FXS, FXO, DID, etc. gateway  in the CUCM.

Does anyone know what purpose the "Unattended Port" checkbox does?

Checking or unchecking doesn't seem to affect inbound or outbound calling.

CUCM 6.1.3.3190
3845 VIC2-2FXO or VIC3-2FXS/DID

Thanks!
