Supported Components and Functionality, Release 3.0(1)
This section lists the supported software components and describes the Cisco Unity Voice Mail functionality.
Windows 2000 Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server is the default operating system for Cisco Unity Voice Mail version 3.0(1) configurations. Cisco Unity Voice Mail runs with Windows 2000 Server and Service Pack 2 for U.S. English systems only.
Windows NT versions 4.0 and earlier are not supported with Cisco Unity version 3.0(1).
Microsoft Data Engine
Cisco Unity Voice Mail for the Cisco ICS 7750 uses only Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) for local data storage for the Global Address List (GAL). MSDE is designed and optimized for use on small computer systems and supports up to 16 voice-mail ports. MSDE is based on the same data engine as SQL Server, and it is compatible with other SQL databases.
SQL Database Directory Synchronization
Cisco Unity Voice Mail directory information is synchronized with the existing Active Directory by using Cisco Unity connectors. Cisco Unity supports a GAL of 100,000 users while maintaining current performance levels of the telephone user interface (TUI) in a networked configuration. This allows installations in which the GAL is very large and Cisco Unity subscribers are a subset of the GAL.
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Message Store
Microsoft Exchange 2000 is the platform for storing voice-mail messages in Cisco Unity Voice Mail for the Cisco ICS 7750.
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Connector
Cisco Unity Voice Mail uses Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server as the backbone of its Digital Networking, message storage, and corporate directory. This includes the Active Directory connector to synchronize directory information with the SQL database.
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Circular Logging
Circular logging is off by default in Microsoft Exchange 2000.
When circular logging is on, the disk drive does not fill up with logs. However, when the log cycles, changes that were overwritten cannot be recovered.
When circular logging is off, better disaster recovery is possible, if managed correctly. However, if the Exchange information is not periodically backed up, the logs will continue to grow until the disk drive is full. A full disk drive can cause serious system performance problems.
For more information, refer to the article "XADM: How Circular Logging Affects the Use of Transaction Logs" (article ID Q147524) on the Microsoft Product Support Services website.
Users Homed on an Microsoft Exchange 2000 Cluster
Cisco Unity Voice Mail for Cisco ICS 7750 cannot be installed inside an Microsoft Exchange 2000 cluster.
Cisco CallManger 3.1(2) Integration
Cisco Unity Voice Mail can be integrated only with Cisco CallManager version 3.1(2c) with the installer for Cisco ICS 7750.
Cisco Unity Voice Mail Operation and Administration
This section describes improvements and features for Cisco Unity Voice Mail administration and operation.
Accessing Cisco Unity Administrator and ActiveAssistant
You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 5.5 to connect to the Cisco Unity Administrator and the ActiveAssistant. You can access Cisco Unity Administrator by entering:
http://server name/web/sa
You can access ActiveAssistantby entering:
http://server name/web/aa
Automated Attendant and Directory Assistance Transfers
Transfers from the automated attendant and directory assistance have been enhanced for configurations in which two or more Cisco Unity servers are connected to a single, corporate-wide directory with the Cisco Unity servers integrated with a networked phone system.
When the Cisco Unity servers are added to a dialing domain, callers who reach the opening greeting of your organization can dial the extension of any subscriber or look up any subscriber in directory assistance. The call is transferred regardless of which Cisco Unity server in the dialing domain the subscriber is associated with. However, in some cases, call transfer settings will be unavailable.
For information, see the "Automated Attendant Transfers to Networked Cisco Unity Servers" section. Also refer to the following sections in the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide: "With a Single Directory" in the "Digital Networking" chapter, and "Directory Handler Search Options Settings" in the "Directory Handler Settings" chapter.
Event Notification Utility
The Cisco Unity Event Notification utility is enabled by default.
Multiple Extension Support
Cisco Unity Voice Mail allows multiple IDs to be associated with each subscriber, supporting multiple line appearances and phone numbers that vary in length at different locations.
Extension Remapping
Cisco Unity Voice Mail provides the ability to convert the calling numbers and forwarding numbers of calls that it handles to the extensions of your choice. The feature is useful when the phone system cannot map multiple extension numbers on a subscriber phone to a single Inbox. The remapping extension feature is qualified to support the Cisco CallManager integration.
For information, refer to the appendix "Remapping Extension Numbers" in the Cisco CallManager 3.1 Integration Guide.
Report Generation from Persistent Database
The new architecture for reports contains performance improvements that allow Cisco Unity to provide two types of reports:
Log-Based Reports
Data included in the Cisco Unity Administrator log-based reports reflects the activity of a particular Cisco Unity entity or event over a period of time. Cisco Unity automatically gathers and stores data that is used in log-based reports every 30 minutes. In the Cisco Unity Administrator, choose System > Configuration > Setting, and specify how long Cisco Unity stores the data in the Cleanup Interval for Logger Data Files field. For example, if you set the field to 3, a log-based report will reflect activity for the last three days, even if you specified more than three days in the time range for the report.
Snapshot Reports
Data included in snapshot reports shows the status of a particular Cisco Unity entity at the time you generate a report. You do not specify a time range for a snapshot report. For large systems, snapshot reports may take a significant amount of time to generate.
Location Addressing Option Settings
The Location Addressing Option settings in the Cisco Unity Administrator allow you to select the scope of the search for subscribers in the system. These settings affect how Cisco Unity looks for a matching subscriber or presents a list of subscribers, as in the following situations:
•
•
•
For information, refer to the "Location Addressing Option Settings" section in the "Network Settings" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.
Message Interface Unit Factoring
Message Interface Unit (MIU) factoring is an architectural change that extends Cisco Unity to other call-control and media-streaming protocols, such as SIP, RTP, and H.323. MIU factoring also provides more rapid response time for IP and traditional phone system integrations.
Process Factoring
With some exceptions, Cisco Unity has been a single process with multiple threads. Failure in any area required a restart of the entire application. Process factoring begins the effort to allow Cisco Unity to run as a coherent collection of processes, each of which can be maintained separately.
With the Cisco Unity 3.0(1) release, each process has its own LogMgr and writes its own diagnostic log file. MaestroTools continues to provide direction for all logging, including instructions for each instance in which LogMgr cycles the logs when the logs exceed the allowed size.
Voice Networking
This section describes changes and improvements in networking Cisco Unity Voice Mail with other Cisco Unity servers.
Dialing Plans
Cisco Unity Voice Mail provides dialing domains and alternate extensions, which are primarily useful in organizations with two or more Cisco Unity servers connected to a single, corporate-wide directory. With these enhancements, the number that a subscriber dials when addressing a message to a subscriber associated with another Cisco Unity server is the same number the subscriber uses when calling. For information, refer to the "With a Single Directory" section in the "Digital Networking" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.
Alternate extensions also have other purposes beyond their use in Digital Networking, such as handling multiple line appearances on subscriber phones. For information, refer to the "Subscriber Alternate Extension Settings" section in the "Subscriber Settings" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.
Directory Handler Search Options
Cisco Unity Voice Mail allows two choices for directory handler searches:
For information, refer to the "Directory Handler Search Options Settings" section in the "Directory Handler Settings" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.
AMIS
The Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) analog protocol is supported, allowing Cisco Unity Voice Mail to exchange voice messages with other AMIS-compliant voice messaging systems. The following systems are supported:
•
•
•
•
Avaya OctelNet is not supported with Cisco Unity version 3.0. (Note that Siemens PhoneMail is currently being tested for qualification.)
For information on other AMIS-compliant voice messaging systems that may have been qualified since this document was published, call the product manager in ECSBU Marketing, at 206 256-2900.
For information, refer to the "AMIS" and "Reports" chapters of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.
When configuring AMIS with Cisco Unity Voice Mail on the Cisco ICS 7750, you can find detailed information at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/PSP/psp_view.pl?p=Hardware:ICS_7750
Installation Notes
This section lists important information to know before you begin the installingCisco Unity Voice Mail.
Preferred DNS Server
Cisco Unity Voice Mail requires a Domain Name System (DNS). You can install a DNS server on the SPE running Cisco Unity Voice Mail. This is a requirement for a standalone Cisco Unity Voice Mail configuration on the Cisco ICS 7750 system. You must use ICS Configuration to configure the preferred DNS server IP address for the SPEs in the Cisco ICS 7750.
Installer Account
You can install Cisco Unity Voice Mail by using any account with the appropriate Windows and Exchange rights and permissions. When the installation process is complete, the account that you used to install Cisco Unity Voice Mail is automatically given proper security rights to access the Cisco Unity Administrator. The purpose of the installer access rights is to allow you to create new Cisco Unity subscribers for initial setup, including subscribers who will administer Cisco Unity Voice Mail.
Choosing the Windows Account Used for Installing Cisco Unity Voice Mail
The local system account owns most of the Cisco Unity Voice Mail services. The Windows account with which you log on to install Cisco Unity Voice Mail owns the rest of the services. Changing the owner or the password for each of these services is time consuming, so be sure to choose an account that you do not intend to change regularly. You may even want to create an account whose sole purpose is to be the owner of the Cisco Unity services.
Table 2 lists Cisco Unity services and the account that owns each.
Cisco Unity Setup creates a number of Cisco Unity objects in Active Directory and in Microsoft Exchange 2000; therefore, the account with which you log on must have the proper security access to perform the necessary operations.
You can use the same account to install Cisco Unity as you use to install Microsoft Exchange 2000 on the SPE running Cisco Unity Voice Mail.
Active Directory Permissions Required
The account that you use to install Cisco Unity Voice Mail must have the following Active Directory permissions:
•
•
User Rights Required
The account that you use to install Cisco Unity Voice Mail must have the following user rights:
•
•
Because the Cisco Unity Voice Mail SPE is also the domain controller, you grant these rights by using the domain controller security policy. When you install Cisco Unity Voice Mail with the same account as you used to install Microsoft Exchange 2000, the necessary permissions will be available for integrating the Cisco Unity Voice Mail directory with Exchange 2000.
Caution
Using License Synchronizer
The License Synchronizer function is designed to update and synchronize license information when restoring a configuration. Only use it when you have restored a previous configuration. To access this function, choose Start > Programs > Unity > License Synchronizer.
Limitations and Restrictions
This section lists the known limitations and restrictions in features and functionality for Cisco Unity Voice Mail for the Cisco ICS 7750.
Digital Networking with Cisco Unity Voice Mail for the Cisco ICS 7750
Cisco Unity Voice Mail uses the plain old voice mail with local area network (POV/LAN) version of Cisco Unity. Like other versions of Cisco Unity, POV/LAN supports Digital Networking features.
When you are installing Cisco Unity Voice Mail in an existing network of Cisco Unity servers, and you plan to use Digital Networking, follow these recommendations:
•
•
•
If you add Cisco Unity Voice Mail into an existing Exchange organization, in which subscribers are using Microsoft Outlook clients for e-mail, they can receive voice-mail messages in their Outlook In boxes. Subscribers will not have the ViewMail for Outlook (VMO) client to access these voice-mail messages correctly. Cisco Unity Voice Mail provides licensing to use Microsoft Exchange for storing only voice-mail messages.
You can avoid these issues, when using Digital Networking, by installing Cisco Unity Voice Mail in a separate domain. Use the SMTP connector and the IVC to interface with the existing Exchange infrastructure. Cisco Unity Voice Mail uses blind addressing to send voice messages among other Cisco Unity servers.
When configuring Digital Networking with Cisco Unity Voice Mail on the Cisco ICS 7750, you can find detailed information at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/PSP/psp_view.pl?p=Hardware:ICS_7750
Multiple Cisco Unity Servers Integrated with a Networked Phone System
The following limitations exist when more than one Cisco Unity server is integrated with a networked phone system. (On a networked phone system, subscribers can dial an extension rather than a full phone number when they call someone who is at another location on the phone network.)
Automated Attendant Transfers to Networked Cisco Unity Servers
When you set up Digital Networking to work with a single, corporate-wide directory and networked phone system, be aware that the default settings for the automated attendant allow transfers only to subscribers associated with the local Cisco Unity server.
To set up the automated attendant so that callers can be transferred to subscribers associated with multiple Cisco Unity servers in the same dialing domain, refer to the "With a Single Directory" section in the "Digital Networking" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.
Call Transfer Settings Unavailable
When calls are transferred from the automated attendant or directory assistance to subscribers not associated with the local server, the transfers are automatically handled by the phone system (release to switch)—rather than by Cisco Unity (supervised transfer)—even if these subscribers are set up for supervised transfers. Call screening, call holding, and announce features are not available on these calls.
For information, refer to the following sections in the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide: "With a Single Directory" in the "Digital Networking" chapter, and "Directory Handler Search Options Settings" in the "Directory Handler Settings" chapter.
Subscriber ID Unavailable
When a subscriber calls another subscriber who is associated with a different Cisco Unity server, and if the call is forwarded to voice mail, Cisco Unity cannot identify who left the message. Instead, the message is handled as though it came from an unidentified caller.
Subscriber Non-Delivery Reports
Subscribers can send a voice-mail message to another Unity voice-mail system by using the Cisco Unity Digital Networking feature and blind addressing. The subscriber records the message and enters a known extension number for another subscriber. When Digital Networking is used with blind addressing, the extension number is not validated. When a subscriber sends a message to an invalid extension number, the system accepts the voice mail and returns a "successfully delivered" message to the sender. A non-delivery report (NDR) for an invalid extension is not generated or sent to the sender; therefore, the sender does not know when a message was sent to an invalid extension.
Subscribers can send a voice message to an AMIS-compliant voice-mail system, and they have the option to be sent a delivery report. An NDR is sent in the event of an unsuccessfully delivered message, but no report is sent if the message is delivered successfully.
Recording Names and Messages
When new subscribers place their first call to the Cisco Unity Voice Mail system, they go through the initial mailbox setup process. Subscribers are prompted to record their names, but there is no prompt to tell users to press the pound (#) key to end the recording.
When using the voice-mail system to listen to and record voice-mail messages, subscribers hear prompts that provide options of listening to and rerecording messages before the messages are sent. When a subscriber chooses to re-record a message, there is no beep tone to alert the subscriber to begin recording the new message. The recorded prompts do not tell the user to press pound (#) to end the recording.
Windows Terminal Services
For information, refer to the Technical Tips website at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/788/AVVID/vmum.shtml
Integrations with Traditional Phone Systems
Integrations with traditional phone systems are not supported with Cisco Unity Voice Mail for the Cisco ICS 7750 or in a dual phone system environment with Cisco CallManager.
System Administration Access
Use only Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 to access the Unity Administrator and online help web pages. This is the only tested and supported browser.

This section lists corrections and updates to and omissions from the Cisco Unity documentation.
Errors
The following section describes incorrect information in existing documentation. The correct information will be incorporated in a future documentation release or as otherwise noted.
Creating Organizational Units: Reference in Installing Cisco Unity Voice Mail on the Cisco ICS 7750
In the "Creating Organizational Units in Microsoft Exchange" section of the Installing Cisco Unity Voice Mail on the Cisco Unity ICS 7750 guide, you are incorrectly referred to the Active Directory Users and Computers Help for more information. The correct information is in the Microsoft Exchange 2000 Help.
Message Notification Page: Field Help in the Cisco Unity ActiveAssistant
On the Message Notification page, the Phone Number field does not accept the P and T characters, contrary to what the ActiveAssistant Help field indicates.
In the Call Screening page, the Yes, Ring Me at This Number, field does not accept the P and T characters, contrary to what the ActiveAssistant Help field indicates.
Network Settings: Field Table in the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide
In the "Network Settings" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide, Release 3.0(1), in the table that describes the fields on the Network > Location > Addressing Options page, the description of the field Play Location to Subscriber as Part of Search Results is incorrect.
Table 4 provides the correct information.
Changes
Deleting Cisco Unity Voice Mail Accounts
You must use Cisco Unity Administrator to delete a Cisco Unity Voice Mail account, but the Windows account and Exchange mailbox for that subscriber are not automatically deleted. An administrator who has the appropriate Windows and Exchange permissions must delete the associated Exchange 2000 mailbox.When you delete Cisco Unity Voice Mail accounts, delete them from the Cisco Unity Administrator before you delete the associated user accounts in Exchange. For more information, refer to the "About Deleting Subscriber Accounts" section in the "About Subscriber Accounts" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.
Omissions
This section lists new and additional information that is not included in the current Cisco Unity documentation. The new and additional information will be incorporated in a future documentation release or as otherwise noted.
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Must Be Running to Install Cisco Unity Voice Mail
Before you do the site-specific part of the Cisco Unity Voice Mail installation, which requires connecting to the directory, confirm that Microsoft Exchange is running. If Exchange is not running, the attempt to connect to the directory will fail.
Message Waiting Indicators Are Not Promptly Turned On and Off
When the ports that turn message waiting indicator (MWIs) lamps on and off are also set to perform other operations, they may be too busy to turn MWIs on and off promptly. You can improve performance by making sure that the entry point of the Cisco Unity port hunt group is not a port that also handles MWIs.
