I don't know that it would matter. The originating ANI (the PSTN phone) is what is showing on 1002 when it rings.so caller ID is preserved. It will show a redirecting value of 3000, but I can't think of an issue (barring specific translation rule manipulation) that would make that a show stopper. I don't know what 1002 being forwarded to VM has to do with the function thru the BR2 router. Can you be more specific as to what you feel might be lost in that event?

There are 2 things that I'm looking at that are style points that I want to get opinions on. for the calls out via the E1-PRI from the HQ/BR1 sites. creating the dial peer fo the outbound call, is there an advantage / necessity to creating it with a 901134T destination pattern versus simply making it 901134? since we're obviously dealing with the T.302 timer on the UCM side, we won't be adding more digits once the call is submitted to the h.323 gateway (BR2 router). adding a T on the end of the destination patter adds ambiguity and seems sloppy. the other is regarding inbound calls to the CME router. I know that creating the translation rule and forwarding the call as it comes in is sexier, but the same can be accomplished by creating an ephone-dn w/ number 3000 and CFwdAll to 1002. that is very likely over simplifying it, but I can't find anything in this question that would predicate us from doing so. That being said, I know that the exercise of this is to gain comfort with more complex configuration and structure. BUT, that complexity would cost you a little valuable time. what caveats am I missing that would make the CFwdAll solution fail?
