Task List to Create the Integration with the Siemens Hicom 300 PIMG Phone System

Before doing the following tasks to integrate Cisco Unity Connection with the Siemens Hicom 300-series E (North American) phone system by using PIMG units (media gateways), confirm that the Cisco Unity Connection server is ready for the integration by completing the applicable tasks in the Cisco Unity Connection Installation Guide.

1. Review the system and equipment requirements to confirm that all phone system and Cisco Unity Connection server requirements have been met. See the "Requirements" section.

2. Plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity Connection. See Chapter 2, "Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity Connection."

3. If you have a legacy voice messaging system, clear the MWIs for users who are migrating to Cisco Unity Connection. See the "Clearing MWIs from a Legacy Voice Messaging System" section.

4. Program the Siemens Hicom 300 phone system and extensions. See the "Programming the Siemens Hicom 300 E (North American) Phone System for Integrating with Cisco Unity Connection" section.

5. Set up the PIMG units. See the "Setting Up the Digital PIMG Units" section.

6. Create the integration. See the "Creating a New Integration with the Siemens Hicom 300 Phone System" section.

7. Test the integration. See Chapter 13, "Testing the Integration."

8. If this integration is a second or subsequent integration, add the applicable new use templates for the new phone system. See Chapter 14, "Adding New User Template for Multiple Integrations."

Requirements

The Siemens Hicom 300 integration supports configurations of the following components:

Phone System

Siemens Hicom 300-series E CS (North American) phone system.

Software version 9006.4 or later.

SLMO line cards installed for connecting to the PIMG units.

One or more of the applicable PIMG units. For details, see Chapter 1, "Introduction."

The voice messaging ports in the phone system connected by digital lines to the ports on the PIMG units.

We recommend that you connect the voice messaging ports on the phone system to the ports on the PIMG units in a planned manner to simplify troubleshooting. For example, the first phone system voice messaging port connects to the first port on the first PIMG unit, the second phone system voice messaging port connects to the second port on the first PIMG unit, and so on.

The PIMG units connected to the same LAN or WAN that Cisco Unity Connection is connected to.

If the PIMG units connect to a WAN, the requirements for the WAN network connections are:

For G.729a codec formatting, a minimum of 32.76 Kbps guaranteed bandwidth for each voice messaging port.

For G.711 codec formatting, a minimum of 91.56 Kbps guaranteed bandwidth for each voice messaging port.

No network devices that implement network address translation (NAT).

A maximum 200 ms one-way network latency.

The phone system ready for the integration, as described in the documentation for the phone system.

Cisco Unity Connection Server

Cisco Unity Connection installed and ready for the integration, as described in the Cisco Unity Connection Installation Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

A license that enables the applicable number of voice messaging ports.

Clearing MWIs from a Legacy Voice Messaging System

If users do not have existing voice mail on a legacy voice messaging system, skip this section and continue with the next section.

If users have existing voice mail on a legacy voice messaging system, do the following procedure.

To Clear MWIs from a Legacy Voice Messaging System


Step 1 Have all users who are migrating to Cisco Unity Connection delete or listen to their voice messages on the legacy voice messaging system.

Step 2 Confirm that all MWIs for the subscribers migrating to Cisco Unity Connection are turned off.


Programming the Siemens Hicom 300 E (North American) Phone System for Integrating with Cisco Unity Connection

The following programming instructions are provided as an example only. The specific programming for your phone system may vary depending on its configuration.


Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity Connection that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Send MWI Requests, do not send calls to it.

To Program the Siemens Hicom 300 E (North American) Phone System by Using the Command Line Interface


Step 1 Use the ADD-COS command to add INTDTMF to the class of service that you use. The class of service must have the following parameters while the remaining parameters keep their default values.

Number of Ports

Enter 8.

(If you want to use fewer than eight voice messaging ports, enter the number of voice messaging ports that you want to use on this PIMG unit.)

IP Address or Host Name

Enter the IP address of the PIMG unit that you are integrating with Cisco Unity Connection.

Test Address

Click this button to test the IP address that you entered. The results of the test appear in the field to the right of the button.

Port

For the first PIMG unit, enter 5060.

When you configure more than one PIMG unit, increase this setting by 1 for each successive unit. For example, unit 2 will be 5061, unit 3 will be 5062, and so on. This setting must match the server port setting on the VoIP Host Group page of the PIMG unit.

Table 12-31 Settings for the Voice Messaging Ports 

Field
Considerations

Enabled

Check this check box to enable the port. The port is enabled during normal operation.

Uncheck this check box to disable the port. When the port is disabled, calls to the port get a ringing tone but are not answered. Typically, the port is disabled only by the installer during testing.

Extension

Enter the extension for the port as assigned on the phone system.

Answer Calls

Check this check box to designate the port for answering calls. These calls can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from users.

Perform Message Notification

Check this check box to designate the port for notifying users of messages. Assign Perform Message Notification to the least busy ports.

Send MWI Requests

Check this check box to designate the port for turning MWIs on and off. Assign Send MWI Requests to the least busy ports.

Allow TRAP Connections

Check this check box so that users can use the port for recording and playback through the phone in Cisco Unity Connection web applications. Assign Allow TRAP Connections to the least busy ports.

Outgoing Hunt Order

Enter the priority order in which Cisco Unity Connection will use the ports when dialing out (for example, if the Perform Message Notification, Send MWI Requests, or Allow TRAP Connections check box is checked). The highest numbers are used first. However, when multiple ports have the same Outgoing Hunt Order number, Cisco Unity Connection will use the port that has been idle the longest.


Step 16 Click Save.

Step 17 Click Next.

Step 18 Repeat Step 15 through Step 17 for all remaining voice messaging ports for the phone system.

Step 19 If there are no more PIMG units to integrate, skip to Step 21. If there are more PIMG units to integrate, do the following substeps.
