Unified Messaging Requirements: SpeechView Transcriptions

Unified Messaging Requirements: Accessing Exchange Email Messages By Using Text to Speech

Unified Messaging Requirements: Accessing Calendar Information for Meetings

Unified Messaging Requirements: Accessing Exchange Contact Information

Unified Messaging Requirements: Synchronizing Connection and Exchange Mailboxes (Single Inbox)

Revised January 15, 2013

Cisco Unity Connection integrated with a supported version of Microsoft Exchange Server:

Exchange Server 2010 with Service Pack 2(All editions are supported.)

Exchange Server 2010 with Update Rollup 3 or later (All editions are supported.)

Exchange Server 2010 with Service Pack 1 (All editions are supported.)

Exchange Server 2007 with Service Pack 2 or later (All editions are supported.)

To synchronize Connection and Exchange 2007 mailboxes, you must install Connection 8.5(1) Service Update 1 (SU 1) or later.

Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 (All editions are supported.)

To synchronize Connection and Exchange 2003 mailboxes, you must install Connection 8.5(1) Service Update 1 (SU 1) or later.

Connection single inbox feature with Exchange 2003 requires WebDav interface to work properly. If Form Based Authentication option is enabled, WebDav interface can break the access to Exchange sever, therefore, it is not recommended to use single Inbox.

With Exchange 2003, Connection's Single Inbox feature requires WebDav interface to function properly. Due to a limitation documented by Microsoft, 'Forms Based Authentication' may disrupt WebDav and hence is not recommended to be used with Single Inbox feature.

Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS-Dedicated) is now supported in Cisco Unity Connection.You can configure Connection to synchronize voice messages in Connection user's mailbox with the user's Exchange mailbox configured on Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS-Dedicated) environments as well as other third party hosted dedicated Exchange environments. For more information on Connection's integration with Microsoft BPOS Dedicated environments, see the "Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Overview" chapter of the Design Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 9.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/design/guide/9xcucdgx.html.

Microsoft Office 365 is supported with Cisco Unity Connection. It is a cloud hosted collaboration solution provided by Microsoft. Using Microsoft Office 365, you can access emails and calendars anywhere. For more information on Connection integration with Microsoft Office-365, see the "Configuring Cisco Unity Connection and Microsoft Office-365 for Unified Messaging" chapter of the Unified Messaging Guide for Cisco Unity Connection at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/unified_messaging/guide/9xcucumgx.html.

Exchange servers and Active Directory domain controllers/global catalog servers (DC/GCs) can be installed in any hardware virtualization environment supported by Microsoft. (Cisco does not provide technical support for message-store servers or for DC/GCs.)

The Microsoft Exchange message store can be stored in any storage area network configuration supported by Microsoft. (Cisco does not provide technical support for message-store servers.)

Exchange clusters are supported.

To access Exchange servers in more than one forest, you must create at least one unified messaging service for each forest. Connection supports a maximum of 20 unified messaging services per Connection server.

Depending on the number of voice messaging ports on each Connection server, the path of connectivity must have the following guaranteed bandwidth with no steady-state congestion:

For 50 voice messaging ports on each server—7 Mbps

For 100 voice messaging ports on each server—14 Mbps

For 150 voice messaging ports on each server—21 Mbps

For 200 voice messaging ports on each server—28 Mbps

For 250 voice messaging ports on each server—35 Mbps

The bandwidth numbers above are intended as guidelines to ensure proper operation of mailbox synchronization. For information on bandwidth requirements for Connection clusters, see the "Requirements for a Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Cluster" section. Additional conditions such as network congestion, CPU utilization, and message size may contribute to lower throughput than expected. Call-control and call-quality requirements are in addition to the guidelines above and should be calculated by using the bandwidth recommendations in the applicable Cisco Unified Communications SRND at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/ns340/ns414/ns742/ns818/landing_uc_mgr.html.

The default Connection configuration is sufficient for a maximum of 2000 users and 80 milliseconds of round-trip latency between Connection and Exchange servers. For more than 2000 users and/or more than 80 milliseconds of latency, you can change the default configuration. For more information, see the " Latency" section in the "Single Inbox in Cisco Unity Connection" chapter of the Design Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 9.x. at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/design/guide/9xcucdgx.html.

Users must be assigned to a class of service that is enabled for using single inbox.

For each user configured for single inbox, an email client that is configured to access the user's Exchange mailbox. For full single-inbox functionality, we recommend that you use Microsoft Outlook and install Cisco ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook. ViewMail for Outlook is required to:

Review secure Connection voice messages by using Outlook.

Compose, reply to, or forward synchronized voice messages by using Outlook.

Other email clients can be used to access Connection voice messages in Exchange, but users will not have the functionality provided by ViewMail for Outlook.

For information on Connection support for Outlook, see the "Requirements for Accessing Voice Messages by Using Cisco ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook 8.5 and Later" section.

For users who are configured for single inbox and SpeechView transcriptions, the message in Exchange is not updated with the transcribed text. You can configure Connection to send a notification message that contains the transcription.

When message expiration and single inbox are configured, the .wav file is not deleted from the message in Exchange. Voice messages in Connection are still removed from user mailboxes and are replaced with a recording that tells the user "This message is expired."

The synchronization of voice messages in Connection and Exchange Mailboxes for single inbox (SIB) users is now supported over both IPv4 and IPv6.


Note Single Inbox over IPv6 is supported only for Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010.

Both servers must meet specifications according to the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html.

For a cluster with two physical servers, both must have the same platform overlay.

For a cluster with two virtual machines, both must have the same virtual platform overlay.

For a cluster with one physical server and one virtual machine:

The specifications for the physical server and the virtual machine should match as closely as possible for available hard-disk space/vDisk space and for RAM/vRAM.

When the hard disks in the physical server and the virtual hard disks in the virtual machine are not the same size, the smaller disks determine the amount of disk space available for voice messages.

When the number of users supported for the physical server and the virtual machine do not match, only the smaller number of users is supported for the cluster.

With Platform Overlay 1 servers, you must add 2 GB of RAM to the physical server so the amount of RAM in the physical server matches the 6 GB of vRAM configured for Connection on the virtual machine.

Both Connection servers must be collocated.

Both Connection servers must be located in the same local-area network.

Both Connection servers must have a minimum 100 Mbps connection to the network.

The maximum round-trip latency must be no more than 5 ms.

The network must use the following load-balancing techniques for connections to the Connection servers:

The Connection servers are assigned a common DNS name with the Connection publisher server first.

All user client and administrator sessions connect to the Connection publisher server. If the Connection publisher server stops functioning, the user client and administrator sessions must connect to the Connection subscriber server.

Phone systems must attempt to route incoming calls to the Connection subscriber server. If no voice messaging ports are available to answer calls on the Connection subscriber server, the phone systems must route calls to the Connection publisher server.

The Connection servers must not be separated by a firewall.

Both Connection servers must have the same software and engineering-special versions installed.

Both Connection servers must have the same enabled features and configurations.

Both Connection servers must connect to the same phone system(s).

If the Connection servers contain dual NICs, the two NICs on each Connection server must be configured for fault tolerance using a single IP address, or one of the NICs must be disabled. Configuring the two NICs with distinct IP addresses for network load balancing is not supported.

For selected servers supported for earlier versions of Connection, a memory upgrade. To determine whether your server requires a memory upgrade, see the applicable server-specific table in the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List.

For selected servers supported for earlier versions of Connection, replacement hard disks. To determine whether your server requires hard-disk replacement, see the applicable server-specific table in the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List.

For selected servers supported for earlier versions of Connection, a memory upgrade. To determine whether your server requires a memory upgrade, see the applicable server-specific table in the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List.

For selected servers supported for earlier versions of Connection, replacement hard disks. To determine whether your server requires hard-disk replacement, see the applicable server-specific table in the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List.

The Connection cluster feature is not supported for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition.

Requirements for Cisco Unity Connection Networking

Up to ten Cisco Unity Connection servers can be joined through intrasite networking to form a single site (known as a Digital Network in release 7.x). In addition, two Connection sites can be linked together through intersite networking for a total of up to 20 Cisco Unity Connection servers sharing the same directory information.

Alternatively, you can use intersite networking to link a single Cisco Unity Connection site of up to ten servers with a single Cisco Unity server or Digital Network. (In a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, only the publisher server is joined to the network, so a cluster counts as a single server toward the limit of ten in each site.)

See the applicable section:

Requirements for Intrasite Networking

Requirements for Intersite Networking

Requirements for Intrasite Networking

Intrasite networking uses SMTP to provide directory synchronization and message networking among Cisco Unity Connection servers.

Connection version 7.x servers, version 8.x, and version 9.x servers can coexist in the same site as long as each 7.x server meets all the applicable requirements in the System Requirements for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/requirements/7xcucsysreqs.html.

Intrasite networking has the following requirements:

Each version 9.x server in the site must meet all applicable requirements listed in this document.

Each server in the site must be able to access the other servers in the site directly through TCP/IP port 25 (SMTP), or SMTP messages must be routed among the servers through an SMTP smart host.

If your site includes one or more Connection clusters, you must have a smart host available to resolve the SMTP domain of the cluster to both the publisher and subscriber servers in order for message traffic to reach the cluster subscriber server in the event that the publisher server is down.

When intrasite networking and voice recognition are configured, and when you are using one or more Cisco MCS-7815 or MCS-7825 servers, an additional 2 GB of memory (for a total of 6 GB) is required in the servers when the sum of users, locations, contacts (user- and administrator-defined), and distribution lists (personal and system) exceeds 2,000. (These are the first six items on the Tools > Grammar Statistics page in Cisco Unity Connection Administration.) For more information on Cisco MCS-7815 and MCS-7825 servers and the specifications on the memory that must be added, see the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html..

The virtual directory created by the networked Connection servers must not exceed the maximum total numbers of objects listed in Table 7 in the "Directory Object Limits for Cisco Unity Connection 9.x" section.


Note Intrasite networking is not supported for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition.


Requirements for Intersite Networking

You can use intersite networking to link one Cisco Unity Connection site to another Connection site. Or you can use it to link a Connection site to a Cisco Unity server or Cisco Unity Digital Network. The linked sites are called a Cisco Voicemail Organization. To create an intersite link, you choose a single location on each site to act as a gateway to the other site. The gateways exchange directory synchronization information by using HTTP or HTTPS; voice messages are exchanged between the sites by using SMTP.

Intersite networking has the following requirements:

Each Connection server or cluster in the Cisco Voicemail Organization must be at version 9.x, and must meet all applicable requirements listed in this document.

Each Connection site must meet the requirements listed in the "Requirements for Intrasite Networking" section.

Each Connection site gateway must be able to route SMTP messages to the remote site gateway (when two Connection sites are linked) or to the Microsoft Exchange organization for delivery to the Interoperability Gateway for Microsoft Exchange (when a Connection site is linked to a Cisco Unity site). This routing can be done either directly through TCP/IP port 25 or through an SMTP smart host.

The site gateways must be IP addressable and able to route to each other by using HTTP on port 80 or HTTPS on port 443.

If you are using a Cisco MCS-7815 or MCS-7825 server as a Connection site gateway and voice recognition is configured on the server, an additional 2 GB of memory (for a total of 6 GB) is required in the servers when the sum of users, locations, contacts (user- and administrator-defined), and distribution lists (personal and system) exceeds 2,000.(These are the first six items on the Tools > Grammar Statistics page in Cisco Unity Connection Administration.) For more information on Cisco MCS-7815 and MCS-7825 servers and the specifications on the memory that must be added, see the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html.

The virtual directory created by the networked sites must not exceed the maximum total numbers of objects listed in Table 7 in the "Directory Object Limits for Cisco Unity Connection 9.x" section.

Intersite networking can be used to link a maximum of two sites. (Adding more than one intersite link per site is not supported.)

If you are linking to a Cisco Unity server or Digital Network, see the Cisco Unity Networking Options Requirements at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/compatibility/matrix/cunetoptionsreqs.html, for additional requirements.


Note Intersite networking is not supported for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition.


Requirements for Using Single Sign-On Feature

In case of a cluster, Cisco Unity Connection is required on each cluster of a server.

A migration from Cisco Unity to Connection 9.x by gradually moving data has the following requirements:

All applicable requirements listed in this document.

A Cisco Unity Digital Network in which at least one server is running version 8.0(3) to act as a gateway to Connection. Other servers in the Cisco Unity Digital Network must be running version 8.0(3) or later, or version 7.0(2) with Engineering Special (ES) 36 or later.

A server that is supported for use with Connection and that meets Connection 9.x specifications, particularly regarding memory and processor speed. (Not all servers supported for use with Cisco Unity are supported for use with Connection.) For information on supported Connection servers, including specifications on individual servers, see the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html.


Caution If you try to install version 9.x on an unsupported platform, Cisco Unity Connection will not be displayed as an option in the Product Deployment Selection window of the installation program.

Note that voice cards are not supported for integrations with circuit-switched phone systems.

Requirements for Installing Cisco Unity Connection on a Virtual Machine

For information on installing other Cisco Unified Communications applications on the same physical server on which Connection is installed, see the Unified Communications Virtualization wiki at http://cisco.com/go/uc-virtualized.

Connection version 8.0(2) or later.

Connection 7.1(3) is required to migrate from a physical server running Connection 7.1(2) or earlier to a virtual server when the physical Connection server is not supported for use with Connection 9.x. However, after you complete the migration, you must upgrade the Connection virtual machine to version 8.0(2) or later. Running an earlier version in a production virtual environment is not supported.

A physical host that meets Connection specifications and that is supported for use in a virtualized environment. See the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html.

The applicable edition of VMware vSphere ESXi Version 4.0 Update 1 or ESXi Version 4.1 installed on the host server on which the Connection virtual machine will run:

For VMware configurations supporting up to 10,000 users: Any edition.

For VMware configurations supporting up to 20,000 users: Enterprise Plus edition.


Note Updates to ESXi Version 4.0 Update 1 and ESXi Version 4.1 are supported.


For VMware configurations supporting 300GB and 500GB vDisks: The datastore where the Connection virtual machine will reside must be formatted with a VMware VMFS block size large enough to allow for the intended size of the virtual hard disk for the Connection virtual machine. For example, a block size of 1MB limits the maximum virtual hard disk size to 256GB. A block size of 2MB allows 512GB virtual disks.

When deployed with the ESXi4.1, Cisco Unity Connection will support the VMware Boot from SAN functionality. See http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements#ESXi_Support_for_Messaging_and_Presence_Applications for more information.

Unity Connection 8.0(2) and later can be run on specification based hardware from Cisco, HP and IBM. However, some restrictions are applied. See http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Specification-Based_Hardware_Support for more information.

The support for the Input/Output devices on the servers that are running Connection as a virtual appliance has been enhanced to include FCoE and Cisco Converged Network adapters. See http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Specification-Based_Hardware_Support#IO_Devices for more information.

Unity Connection 8.0(2) and later now support FC, FCOE, iSCSI, and NFS SAN environments with some restrictions. See http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Shared_Storage_Considerations for more information.

For list of VMware features that are supported for Connection, see http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements#VMware_Feature_Support_for_Messaging_and_Presence_8.0.282.29_through_8.6.281.29.

Accessing a USB key is not supported.

Oversubscribing processors and memory is not supported.

At least one processor core must be available for the VMware hypervisor.

All virtual disks assigned to the Connection virtual machine must be configured in independent-persistent mode, which provides the best storage performance.

A network time protocol (NTP) server must be accessible to the Connection server.

When configuring a Connection cluster, you can install Connection on one physical server and one virtual machine, or on two virtual machines, but the two virtual machines must be on separate physical hosts. When using blades as hosts, we recommend that the blades be on separate chassis.

Directory Object Limits for Cisco Unity Connection 9.x

Revised December 19, 2012

This section contains two tables that list directory object limits.

Table 6 lists the maximum numbers of certain objects that can be created on a Cisco Unity Connection server. For these objects, the limits apply regardless of the platform overlay in use by the server.

If you are using intrasite or intersite networking to link Connection servers, the limits in Table 6 apply to each Connection server in the site or organization.

Table 7 applies to the virtual directory created by the networked Connection servers. When Connection servers are networked together by using intrasite networking, replication between locations creates the virtual directory consisting of the users, administrator-defined contacts, system distribution lists, partitions, search spaces, and VPIM locations that are homed on each location, along with data about the locations themselves. When servers are networked together by using intersite networking, the virtual directory for an individual server consists of all users from both sites plus the administrator-defined contacts local to the site to which the server belongs, along with the system distribution lists, partitions, and search spaces on both sites, plus the VPIM locations on the local site.

Limits for other objects that depend on the platform overlay are listed in the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html.

The limits in Table 7 apply to the entire site or Cisco Voicemail Organization, regardless of whether the network comprises only two locations or the maximum number of supported locations. (For example, in Connection version 9.x, if the individual server platforms support the limits, you can have 10 locations in one site with 10,000 Connection users each, or 20 locations in two sites with 5,000 Connection users each.)

Changing/ Saving/ Reordering Search spaces can take unto 20 mins to replicate across the site.

Available Languages for Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Components

Revised March 05, 2013

Note Languages are not licensed, and Connection 9.x does not enforce a limit on the number of languages you can install and use. However, the more languages you install, the less hard-disk space is available for storing voice messages. In the Cisco Unity Connection 9.x Supported Platforms List (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html), information on the number of minutes of storage available on each server assumes that you have installed no more than five languages.


This section lists the languages in which Connection components are available.
