Steve, Not sure if you were presenting that question to me or the OP. I can answer from my perspective:
I set the emask on the ports because I feel it is best practice and it is part of my base config. I am already dorking with the VM ports to assign a CSS, AAR CSS, and AAR group and while I am there I mod the emask and save the config. As far as relevance or how it is used. If you didn't toggle the "Display Original Calling Number on Transfer from Unity" from the default value then the port emask would be used for direct and transfer calls from CUC. If you toggled the aforementioned service parameter to true then the emask on the port would only be used for direct calls. A relevant IE question involving direct calls would be sending notification messages to a telephone number. Whether that question has been / is / will be on an IE exam is any one's guess. Again, I set the emask to the vmpilot number as part of base config template. Now, if I wasn't already going into the VM port for another reason then I'd likely say "screw it" unless there was a question that made me deal with it. -Bill -- William Bell blog: http://ucguerrilla.com twitter: @ucguerrilla On Mar 28, 2013, at 2:36 PM, Steve Keller wrote: > Would this only be used if there is a call outbound from Unity and you do not > have the service parameter to "use original caller id" when call routes > through unity?
