Cisco Messaging Interface
The Cisco Messaging Interface allows you to use an external voice mail system with the Cisco CallManager 3.0.
The voice mail system must meet the following requirements:
•
The voice mail system must have a simplified message desk interface (SMDI) accessible with a null-modem RS-232 cable (and an available serial port)
•The voice mail system must use analog ports for connecting voice lines
•The Cisco CallManager server must have an available serial port for the SMDI connection
•A Cisco Access Analog Station Gateway or Cisco VG200 Gateway must be installed and configured
•Gateways are configured in a route pattern. See the "Understanding Route Patterns" section for more information.
The SMDI-compliant voice mail system is connected to Cisco CallManager in two ways:
•Using a standard serial connection to the Cisco CallManager
•Using POTS line connections to a Cisco Analog Station gateway.

Adding Cisco Messaging Interface Service on the Cisco CallManager
This section describes how to add Cisco Messaging Interface service on the
Cisco CallManager.
Before You Begin
Be sure that the following requirements are met before proceeding with the any series of steps. Refer to the "Server" section.
•Servers must be configured
•The Cisco CallManager must have Cisco Messaging Interface loaded whenever the Cisco CallManager is installed or upgraded.
Note To configure the Cisco CallManager, you must know the voice mail access number and partition, and what the extension and mailbox length are on the voice mail. To enable the MWI button on your phone for it to access the voice mailbox, go to Service > Service Parameters and select the appropriate server. Next, click Cisco CallManager in the Configured Services list, and select VoiceMail. The Value field should be the voice mail access number.
The MessageWaitingOffDN and MessageWaitingOnDN parameters do not apply to configuring Cisco Messaging Interface.
Procedure
Step 1 Open Cisco CallManager Administration.
Step 2 Click Service > Cisco Messaging Interface.
Step 3 Select the new server on which you want to configure Cisco Messaging Interface from the drop-down list. The page refreshes displaying the server you selected.
Note The servers listed on the left side of the page are already configured with Cisco Messaging Interface service.
Step 4 Click Insert.
The page refreshes again, and the server is now configured with Cisco Messaging Interface service.

Deleting Cisco Messaging Interface Service From a Server
This section describes how to delete Cisco Messaging Interface service from a server.
Before You Begin
Be sure that the following requirements are met before proceeding with the any series of steps. Refer to the "Server" section.
•Servers must be configured
•The Cisco CallManager must have Cisco Messaging Interface loaded whenever the Cisco CallManager is installed or upgraded.
Procedure
Step 1 Open Cisco CallManager Administration.
Step 2 Click Service > Cisco Messaging Interface.
Step 3 Select the server from which you want to delete Cisco Messaging Interface service from the drop-down list. The page refreshes displaying the server you selected.
Note The servers listed on the left side of the page are already configured with Cisco Messaging Interface service.
Step 4 Click Delete Service. A message displays stating that you are about to permanently delete service from this server.
Step 5 Click OK to continue, or Cancel to cancel the deletion.
If you chose Delete Service, the server should no longer appear in the list on the left side of the page.

Configuring Cisco Messaging Interface Command Line Parameters
This section describes how to configure Cisco Messaging Interface command line parameters.
Before You Begin
Be sure that the following requirements are met before proceeding with any series of steps. Refer to the "Server" section.
•Servers must be configured
•The Cisco CallManager must have Cisco Messaging Interface loaded whenever the Cisco CallManager is installed or upgraded
•Read the "Understanding Service Parameters" section for more information on service parameters.
Caution Cisco Messaging Interface can take up to five minutes to detect and load new parameters. Use NT service manager to restart Cisco Messaging Interface if you need an instant update.
Procedure
Step 1 Open Cisco CallManager Administration.
Step 2 Click Service > Cisco Messaging Interface.
Step 3 Select the server on which you want to configure Cisco Messaging Interface command line parameters from the drop-down list. The page refreshes, displaying the server you selected.
Note The servers listed on the left side of the page are already configured with Cisco Messaging Interface service.
Step 4 Click Command Line Parameters if it is not already selected.
Caution Some changes to service parameters may cause system failure. We recommend you do not make any changes to service parameters unless you fully understand the feature that you are changing, or unless the changes are specified by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Refer to the
"Understanding Service Parameters" section for more information. You will probably never need to add parameters unless directed by the Cisco TAC.
Step 5 To make changes to an existing service parameter, highlight the parameter in the Configured Service Parameters list, make changes using the Type and Value fields, then click Update. To add a new parameter, follow steps 6 through 9.
Step 6 Enter a new parameter in the Param field.
Step 7 Enter the parameter type in the Type field, or choose a type from the drop-down menu.
Step 8 Enter the parameter value in the Value field.
Step 9 Click Update. The page refreshes and your new command line parameter appears in the Configured Service Parameters list at the bottom of the page.
Note If you would rather use the Cisco CallManager default service parameters, click Default. A message displays stating that you are about to permanently delete any previous settings and replace them with the default settings. Click OK to continue, or Cancel to keep the current settings.
