10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>My understanding is a little fuzzy but your
example should work for you. The only reason you would have a separate
CSS for each site would be if you wanted different dialing access at each site
(in your example below there is no difference between the two sites…other
than the CSS name). A should be able to call B. I believe that by
default all phones can dial each other on the same CCM. I’m sure
someone will correct if I’m wrong.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

partitions under the DN. Unless you know what you’re doing here and
why, it can get confusing. Leave the DN partition set to <none> and
everything should be good. When you start changing that field, B can’t
call A and stuff like that.</span></font></p>

two different CSS in each location. One for staff so they can call long

pretty sure that number is 512 characters. That means there is no limit to the

should be grouped together in their own partition, allowing you to control
access to those devices. Voicemail is a good example of one where you really
don't want people to access the ports directly, you want them to access a pilot
and the pilot number is a translation to the first voicemail port which rings
busy/noanswer to the next voicemail port. Coincedentally, this structure has
changed in 4.0, voicemail ports no longer have a ring busy/noanswer
destination. However, this still doesn't change the principle behind 'hiding'
the voicemail ports.</span></font></p>

<br>
I am wondering what are the best practices for implanting CCS and partitions.
Should each site have its own partition and CCS? How about VM ports should they
be in a in its own partition. <br>
<br>
also can I forward a DN to the VM pilot number so user can access centralized
VM from the road?<br>
