I understand your point about where the VM port could reach. I can restrict it under the VM port CSS.

what I would like to know is the VM port device CSS. In what situation would that be used?

You know we can use line/device approach in a phone to restrict access. Does this approach apply to VM ports Device/Line? If it does how does that work?

Hi,

CSS principle is the same whether you are using it on phones or VM ports.

Essentially, you can have the CSS either on the line or on the device. When you have CSS applied on both line and device, the resulting CSS is a combination of both the line CSS and Device CSS.

EX: CSS on line = VM_CSS

CSS on Device = VM_restricted-CSS

Final CSS = VM_CSS + VM_restricted_CSS

as Deji nicely noted, a CSS is simply that a CSS. nothing more, nothing less.

a VM port is simply a virtual phone, so what would you use a CSS?? the same as you would use it for your phone, for a translation pattern, for a GW inbound CSS

you may read the dial plan section of the SRND for calling privileges if you need more insight
