Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems
Integration Description
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CM) Express (formerly known as Cisco Unified CallManager Express) SCCP integration uses a LAN to connect Cisco Unity Connection and the phone system. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router also provides connections to the PSTN. Figure 1-1 shows the connections for a system with a single Cisco Unified CM Express router.

Figure 1-2 shows the connections for a system with multiple Cisco Unified CM Express router and a single Cisco Unity Connection server. One Cisco Unified CM Express router acts as the SIP MWI server, and the remaining Cisco Unified CM Express routers act as SIP MWI clients. Note that Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging ports register with only the SIP MWI server (the Cisco Unified CM Express router that is on the same LAN as the Cisco Unity Connection server), not with the SIP MWI clients.

For a list of supported versions of Cisco Unified CM Express that are qualified to integrate with Cisco Unity Connection by Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP), see the SCCP Compatibility Matrix: Cisco Unity Connection, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/products_device_support_tables_list.html.
This document does not apply to the configuration in which Cisco Unity Connection is installed as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (CMBE)—on the same server with Cisco Unified CM.
Call Information
The phone system sends the following information with forwarded calls:
•
•
•
Cisco Unity Connection uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example, a call forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection is answered with the personal greeting of the user. If the phone system routes the call to Cisco Unity Connection without this information, Cisco Unity Connection answers with the opening greeting.
Integration Functionality
The Cisco Unified CM Express SCCP integration with Cisco Unity Connection provides the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
These integration features are not available to analog phones connected through FXS ports on the Cisco Unified CM Express phone system. Analog phones connected to ATA, however, support all integration features, except MWIs (MWI lamps will not light, though the stutter dial tone will sound).
Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems
When Cisco Unity Connection is installed as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (CMBE)—on the same server with Cisco Unified Communications Manager—Cisco Unity Connection cannot be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time.
When Cisco Unity Connection is not installed as Cisco Unified CMBE, Cisco Unity Connection can be integrated with two or more phone systems at one time. For information on and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity Connection with multiple phone systems, refer to the Multiple Phone System Integration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection 2.0 at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.
