Before doing the following tasks to integrate Cisco Unity Connection with the 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. Program the phone system and extensions. See the "Programming the Phone System for a Serial Integration with Cisco Unity Connection" section.
4. Set up the PIMG units. See the "Setting Up the Analog PIMG Units for a Serial Integration" section.
5. Create the integration. See the "Creating a New Integration with the Phone System" section.
6. Test the integration. See Chapter 14 "Testing the Integration."
7. If this integration is a second or subsequent integration, add the applicable new user templates for the new phone system. See Chapter 15 "Adding New User Templates for Multiple Integrations."
Requirements
The serial (SMDI, MCI, or MD-110) PIMG integration supports configurations of the following components:
Phone System
•A phone system that supports the SMDI, MCI, or MD-110 serial protocols.
•For a Centrex phone system only:
–A Centrex service SMDI package, with one SMDI 4-wire private data link connected to the external modem.
–A type 202T or 212A external modem, set to 1200 baud.
•One or more of the applicable PIMG units. For details, see Chapter 1 "Introduction."
•The serial data port on the phone system connected to the serial port on the master PIMG unit through an RS-232 serial cable (which is available from Cisco).
Specifications for the serial cable are in Connecting PBX-IP Media Gateway (PIMG) to the Serial Port of a PBX at http://www.dialogic.com/support/helpweb/mg/tn117.htm.
We recommend that the serial cable have the following construction:
–A maximum of 50 feet (15.24 m) in length
–24 AWG stranded conductors
–Low capacitance—for example, no more than 12 pF/ft (39.4 pF/m) between conductors
–At least 65 percent braided shield over aluminized polymer sleeve around conductors
–UL-recognized overall cable jacket insulation with low dielectric constant
–Braided shield fully terminated to and enclosed by a metal connector backshell
–Gold-plated connector contacts
•The voice messaging ports in the phone system connected by analog 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.
Centralized Voice Messaging
Cisco Unity Connection supports centralized voice messaging through the phone system, which supports various inter-phone system networking protocols including proprietary protocols such as Avaya DCS, Nortel MCDN, or Siemens CorNet, and standards-based protocols such as QSIG or DPNSS. Note that centralized voice messaging is a function of the phone system and its inter-phone system networking, not voicemail. Connection will support centralized voice messaging as long as the phone system and its inter-phone system networking are properly configured. For details, see the "Centralized Voice Messaging" section in the "Integrating Cisco Unity Connection with the Phone System" chapter of the Cisco Unity Design Guide Release 8.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/design/guide/8xcucdgx.html.
Programming the Phone System for a Serial Integration with Cisco Unity Connection
If you use programming options other than those supplied in the following procedure, the performance of the integration may be affected.
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 Perform Message Notification, do not send calls to it.
Instruct the phone system technician to set up the phone system in the manner as directed in the following procedure.
To Program the Phone System for a Serial Integration with Cisco Unity Connection
Step 1 Program the analog lines connecting to the voice messaging ports on the PIMG units as a multiline hunt group.
Make sure that the phone system sends calls only to Cisco Unity Connection voice ports that are set to Answer Calls. Calls sent to a voice port not set to Answer Calls cannot be answered by Cisco Unity Connection and may cause other problems.
Step 2 Enable hookflash transfer capability on each analog line that connects to the voice messaging ports on the PIMG units.
Step 3 Enable caller ID (via SMDI, MCI, or MD-110) on each subscriber extension.
Step 4 For each subscriber extension, set the call forwarding options to the following:
•Unrestricted source
•Forward when the extension is not answered
•Forward when the extension is busy
Setting Up the Analog PIMG Units for a Serial Integration
Do the following procedures to set up the analog PIMG units that are connected to the phone system for a serial integration by using the SMDI, MCI, or MD-110 protocol.
These procedures require that the following tasks have already been completed:
•The phone system is connected to the PIMG units by using analog lines and the applicable RS-232 serial cable.
•The PIMG units are ready to be connected to the LAN or WAN.
•The PIMG units are connected to a power source.
Fields that are not mentioned in the following procedures must keep their default values. For the default values of all fields, see the manufacturer documentation for the PIMG units.
