Overview of Cisco Unity Express Voice Mail and Auto Attendant
Last Updated: July 10, 2007
The Cisco Unity Express voice-mail and auto-attendant applications work with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME, formerly known as Cisco Unified CallManager Express) or Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly known as Cisco Unified CallManager) to provide small- and medium-sized companies with the capability to:
•Create and maintain voice mailboxes for onsite or remote telephone subscribers. The maximum number of mailboxes depends on the hardware module and license agreement purchased for Cisco Unity Express. See the "Software Licenses and Factory-Set Limits" section for the system limits.
•Record and upload messages for callers to hear when they dial the company's telephone number and prompts to guide the callers to specific extensions or employees.
Guidelines and procedures for installing and upgrading the Cisco Unity Express software are described in the Cisco Unity Express 3.1 Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Administration Interfaces
Cisco Unity Express offers two administration interfaces:
•Graphical user interface (GUI)—This user-friendly, web-based interface permits administration of all voice-mail and auto-attendant functions.
The GUI is targeted for administrators who are familiar with web-based applications and who have little or no experience with Cisco IOS command structure. See the Cisco Unity Express 3.1 GUI Administrator Guide for the configuration procedures using the GUI menus and screens.
•Command-line interface (CLI)—This text-based interface has the same administration and configuration capabilities as the GUI. Installation, upgrade, and troubleshooting functions are available only through the CLI commands. The administrator accesses this interface through a Telnet session to the router.
The CLI is targeted for installers, resellers, support personnel, and others familiar with Cisco IOS command structure and routers. For them, accessing the system using the CLI may be easier than using the GUI, especially for troubleshooting, scripting, and bulk provisioning of many sites. See "Entering the Command Environment" on page 19 for the instructions to enter the CLI environment.
The Cisco Unity Express CLI commands have a structure very similar to Cisco IOS CLI commands. However, the Cisco Unity Express CLI commands do not affect Cisco IOS configurations. After you have logged in to the Cisco Unity Express module, the command environment is no longer the Cisco IOS environment.
Error messages in Cisco Unity Express are not always the same as error messages in the Cisco IOS environment.
The GUI and CLI are accessible from a PC or server anywhere in the IP network. To access the GUI, use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or a later release. Cisco Unity Express does not support any other browser. To access the CLI, Telnet to the router, and then use the service-module command.
