Actually, one point of clarification here. The service parameter Sergey is 
referring to ( "Inbound Calling Search Space for Remote Destination") does not 
play a role in digit analysis for MVA calls. That service parameter is a little 
misleading and confusing.

There are two call flows you have to keep in mind when dealing with ingress 
calls from Remote Destinations.

1. Direct inward dial from the RD to your internal dial plan (e.g. directory 
numbers, MML, hunt pilots, etc.) Basically, anything that is not the MVA 
steering digit pattern. The service parameter Sergey mentioned can affect the 
digit analysis applied to these calls.

2. Calls handed off by the MVA VXML application to CUCM. As Sergey noted, the 
IOS is terminating the call. Most of the heavy lifting is done at the gateway. 
The prompts, etc. are all coming by way of VXML but the call is terminated on 
the gateway. At least up to the point where you choose the option to place a 
call. At this point in time, the IOS device is going to send the call to the 
MVA number and the CUCM digit analysis process is going to make a routing 
decision based on the CSS assigned to the Remote Destination Profile (RDP), 
regardless of what you have set for that service parameter. 

So, the service parameter affects ingress calls to DIDs that are not 
pre-processed by the MVA VXML first. Any call that comes by way of MVA, will 
use the RDP CSS for digit analysis.

You can test this by doing the following. Using the IPExpert topology samples.

1. Create a new partition:  block-hqph1_pt
2. Put a translation in this partition 2001/block-hqph1_pt  and set that 
translation to block the number
3. Put this partition in your RDP CSS. Ensure it is at a higher priority 
partition than the PT that currently holds the 2001 extension programmed on HQ 
Phone 1. If you use the <none> partition then it doesn't matter where you add 
the block PT.
4. Ensure that the service parameter "Inbound Calling Search Space for Remote 
Destination" is set to the default value (which is to use the GW CSS).

Now, use the PSTN phone line that is associated with your RD and call 
2025552001 directly. It should ring (unless you have something else messed up). 

Using the same PSTN phone line, call into MVA. Log into the service, press 1 to 
place a call and dial 2001. You should get ANN telling you that the number is 
unassigned. 

Another test that may be of interest.

1. Create a new partition:  block-hqph1_pt
2. Put a translation in this partition 2001/block-hqph1_pt  and set that 
translation to block the number
3. Put this partition in the CSS you assign to your HQ gateway. Make sure it is 
sitting at a higher priority than your internal phone PT (if you use one).

At this point in time, any calls from the PSTN to 2025552001 will fail.

4. Set the service parameter "Inbound Calling Search Space for Remote 
Destination" to use RDP Device/Line CSS
5. Ensure that the RDP CSS does NOT have the block PT
6. Call 2025552001 from the PSTN line associated with your RD. It should work. 

So, now you can't call 2025552001 from any PSTN line EXCEPT for the line 
associated with the RD. That would be an interesting IE lab question.
