Introduction

This document examines how to troubleshoot the Voice View Express (VVE) feature of Cisco Unity Express.

VVE allows end users to interact with their Cisco Unity Express voicemail mailbox using their Cisco IP Phone display and softkeys available on the phone. You can conveniently manage personal mailbox options, manage notifications, send, listen to, record, and manage voicemail messages. The feature provides an alternative to the Telephony User Interface (TUI) and web interface for such tasks. VVE is essentially a web application like the Cisco Unity Express GUI except for the fact that it serves XML content (that the phone understands) instead of HTML (that a web browser understands).

Prerequisites

Requirements

The reader should understand how to access Cisco Unity Express via the CLI and GUI and be familiar with configuration and administration tasks.

VVE functionality is supported only on these platforms:

  • Cisco Unity Express Voicemail Network Module (NM-CUE)

  • Cisco Unity Express Network Module with Enhanced Capacity (NM-CUE-EC)

  • Cisco Unity Express Advanced Integration Module (AIM-CUE)

VVE is only supported with the 7940/41, 7960/61, and 7970/71 phones.

The minimum Cisco Unity Express software release for VVE is 2.3.1.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on an NM-CUE that runs 2.3.1 software installed in a Cisco CallManager Express 4.0 router.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

Voice View Express Configuration in Cisco Unity Express

VVE must be enabled and configured in advance. This can be accomplished from the CLI or GUI (Voicemail > Voice View Express).

This command shows the VVE configuration: 

Se-10-50-10-125#show voiceview configuration
 
Phone service URL:       http://<CUE-hostname>/voiceview/common/login.do
Enabled:                 Yes
Idle Timeout (minutes):  30

Se-10-50-10-125#show phone-authentication configuration 

Authentication service URL: http://<CUE-hostname>/voiceview/authentication/authenticate.do
Authentication Fallback Server URL: http://190.190.190.2/CCMCIP/authenticate.asp

The Cisco CallManager Express (or Cisco CallManager) must be configured so that the Services button can access the VVE application. The services and authentication URLs must be configured for Cisco CallManager Express. In the Cisco Unity Express output, you can see what the URL is supposed to be. In order to configure this in Cisco CallManager Express, enter configuration mode and specify the URLs (in this case by IP address since DNS is not used):

cme#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
cme(config)#telephony-service 
cme(config-telephony)#url services 
http://10.50.10.125/voiceview/common/login.do 
cme(config-telephony)#url authentication 
http://10.50.10.125/voiceview/authentication/authenticate.do
cme(config-telephony)#exit

Issue the show run | inc url command to verify the configuration:

cme#show run | inc url
url services 
ghttp://14.84.159.12//voiceview/common/login.do
url authentication 
http://14.84.159.12//voiceview/authentication/authenticate.do

Sample Problems

Cannot log into Voice View Express (Error 404)

Problem Description

When a user presses the Services button on the phone, the http error 404 error message displays.

ts-vve-1.gif

Solution

Complete these steps:

  1. Check the phone to see if it has the services URL. If the Cisco Unity Express is connected to Cisco CallManager Express, then make sure that the services URL and the authentication URLs are correctly configured under Telephony service on Cisco CallManager Express.

    The IP address is 10.50.10.125 of this Cisco Unity Express: 

    cme#show running-config | include url
url services http://10.50.10.125/voiceview/common/login.do 
url authentication http://10.50.10.125/voiceview/authentication/authenticate.do

  2. Either go to the Cisco Unity Express CLI and select show VoiceView configuration or go to the Cisco Unity Express GUI and select Voicemail > Voice View Express > Configuration in order to check if VVE is enabled.

    se-10-50-10-125#show voiceview configuration 
Phone service URL: http:///voiceview/common/login.do 
Enabled: Yes 
Idle Timeout (minutes): 30

  3. For a Cisco Unity Express registered with a Cisco CallManager server, issue the show ccn status ccm-manager from the Cisco Unity Express CLI to check if the Cisco Unity Express is registered with Cisco CallManager.

    se-10-50-30-125#show ccn status ccm-manager        
JTAPI Subsystem is currently registered with Call Manager: 180.180.180.3

Cisco Unity Express Traces

In this example, VVE is disabled. If the URL is wrong, or Cisco Unity Express is not registered with the Cisco CallManager, no output is generated.

Cannot log into Voice View Express (Host not Found)

Problem Description

When the Services button is pressed in order to get to the VVE login page, the Host not Found Error displays.

Solution

Complete these steps:

  1. Check if Cisco Unity Express is up and running. Then either go to the CLI and select show VoiceView configuration or go to the GUI and select Voicemail > Voice View Express > Configuration in order to verify that the VVE service is enabled and runs.

  2. If it is up and it runs, issue the show running-config | include url command from the router to check the services URL.

System Temporarily Unavailable

Problem Description

When a user presses the Services button or any soft key, the System temporarily Unavailable. Please try again at a later time good bye error message displays.

ts-vve-2.gif

Solution

Check to see if Cisco Unity Express is in offline mode either from the Cisco Unity Express CLI or from the Cisco Unity Express GUI. If you click on any page it tells you that the system is offline. An option is also provided to bring the system back online.

se-10-50-30-125#offline
!!!WARNING!!!: If you are going offline to do a backup, it is recommended
that you save the current running configuration using the 'write' command,
prior to going to the offline state.

Authentication Error Displays when a User Logs onto Voice View Express

Problem Description

When a user presses the Services button or logs onto VVE, an authentication error displays. This error also displays when a user listens to or sends a message.

ts-vve-3.gif

Solution

Complete these steps:

  1. Issue the show software licenses command to check if you are running the correct license on your system.

    se-10-50-10-125#show software licenses 
Core:
- Application mode: CCME
- Total usable system ports: 8

Voicemail/Auto Attendant:
- Max system mailbox capacity time: 6000
- Default # of general delivery mailboxes: 20
- Default # of personal mailboxes: 100
- Max # of configurable mailboxes: 120

Languages:
- Max installed languages: unlimited
- Max enabled languages: 2

  2. If you have a Cisco CallManager Express configured system and you have a Cisco CallManager license, then this error displays.

  3. Check if the authentication URL is configured properly or is missing.

  4. Sometimes the phone caches the credentials. If none of these steps work, perform a hard reboot (power off and power on) on the phone.

Mailbox Already in use when a User Logs onto Voice View Express

Problem Description

When a user logs onto VVE, the This mailbox is already in use. For help please contact the system administrator error message displays.

ts-vve-4.gif

Solution

Complete these steps:

  1. Check to see if a TUI session for that mailbox is active. Issue the show ccn call application command to see if any TUI calls are active and issue the show voiceview sessions command to see how many VVE sessions are active.

    If a TUI session is active and you attempt to log into that mailbox from the same phone or from a different phone, then this error message displays.

  2. In very rare cases the mailbox can get locked. Unlock the mailbox from the CLI (issue the voicemail mailbox unlock command) or from the GUI select Voicemail > Mailboxes, choose the mailbox, and click Unlock to try to free this connection.

If no VVE sessions or TUI calls are active and you still get the all ports busy message, it means that the port has become stuck. Clear the VVE sessions and the TUI session as described here:

Terminate a VVE Session: 

se-10-50-10-125>service voiceview session terminate mailbox 1004

Terminate a TUI Session: 

se-10-50-10-125>ccn call terminate call ?

ts-vve-5.gif

ts-vve-6.gif

Solution

Either the maximum number of TUI sessions or VVE sessions are active. Issue the show ccn call application command to see the number of active calls. For example, this error message displays on an NM-CUE-EC if 16 TUI sessions are active and if you try to send a message or listen to a message through VVE.

Error when You Try to Listen to Messages

Problem Description

Playback Failed:
Report this error to your system administrator, 
IOException:x.x.x.x/x.x.x.x:80
- Connection refused"

Solution

The issue occurs when the web server of the phone is not reachable. Either it is disabled, or a firewall sits in between.

In order to resolve the issue, go to Settings > Security Configuration and make sure that Web Access Enabled is set to Yes.
