css and partition in translation pattern?

[baselzind]

what does CSS do under the translation pattern? does it mean that the when the extension is translated only the partitions under the CSS can be reached?

also what does the partition means under the translation pattern? is it that only phones under that partitions can use that translation pattern?

Hi

Lets says you have 

CSS1 which has PT1 and PT2 in it.

CSS2 which has PT2 and PT4 in it.

Your are calling from DN 1000 which has CSS1 assigned to it.

Your Translation pattern 2000 is in PT1 and has CSS2 assigned to it.

when 1000 calls 2000 CSS1 is used and you are able to reach 2000 as CSS1 has PT1 in it.

Once the call is on 2000 (TP) now we would use CSS2 and you can only reach number which are in PT3 and PT4

thank you very much , but how can i allow only specific numbers to use that translation pattern? i dont want all users to use that translation pattern?

Hi,

Taking the example above as the TP is in PT1, you would have to create a new CSS and which has PT1 and only assign it to device that you would like to have access to dial 2000 TP.
