Downloading Cisco Unity 2.4(6.126)ENU from the Web
Use a computer with a high-speed Internet connection to download the executable file (about 160 MB) from the Cisco Software Center. Downloading and extracting the release files takes a total of 475 MB of hard disk space.
You can install the Cisco Unity 2.4(6.126)ENU release files either from the hard disk on the Cisco Unity server or from a compact disc that you create on a computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive.
To download Cisco Unity 2.4(6.126)ENU
Step 1 Confirm that the Cisco Unity server or the computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive has at least 475 MB of hard disk space available.
Step 2 Create a directory for the file CiscoUnity2.4.6.126.ENU.exe on the Cisco Unity server or on the computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive. The directory name and the path to that directory cannot contain any spaces.
Step 3 On a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, go to the Software Center website at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity and download the file CiscoUnity2.4.6.126.ENU.exe.
If you downloaded the file from a computer other than the Cisco Unity server or the computer with a read/write CD-ROM drive, transfer the file to the directory you created in Step 2.
Step 4 Run CiscoUnity2.4.6.126.ENU.exe. Files are extracted to a directory that you specify. The name of the directory and the path to that directory cannot contain any spaces.
If you plan to install from the Cisco Unity server, skip to Step 6.
Step 5 On the computer that has a read/write CD-ROM drive, create a compact disc that contains the extracted files.
Step 6 Delete the file CiscoUnity2.4.6.126.ENU.exe to free hard disk space.
Installing Cisco Unity 2.4(6.126)ENU
The Cisco Unity 2.4(6.126)ENU release replaces Disc 1 of the compact disc set for Cisco Unity version 2.4(6.102).
To upgrade to Cisco Unity 2.4(6.126)ENU by using downloaded files
Step 1 Confirm that the version of Cisco Unity currently installed is 2.4(6.102).
Step 2 Back up the Cisco Unity server.
Step 3 Exit the Cisco Unity software.
Step 4 If you are installing from the hard disk on the Cisco Unity server, browse to the directory that contains the extracted files and double-click Setup.exe.
If you created a compact disc that contains the extracted files, insert the disc in the CD-ROM drive and run Setup.exe.

Description

CSCdu04186
|
If you are using L&H RealSpeak TTS on Windows 2000, Cisco Unity hangs when you log off of Windows 2000. There are no errors in the event log. When you dial the Cisco Unity access number, you hear a reorder or ringback tone. When you log back on to Windows 2000, you cannot start Cisco Unity by using the Cisco Unity icon in the status area of the taskbar.
This occurs in two circumstances:
•No one is logged on to Windows 2000 when a subscriber listens to an e-mail message by using TTS. Then you log on to Windows 2000 on the Cisco Unity server and log back off. Cisco Unity hangs when you log off of Windows 2000.
•You are logged on to Windows 2000 on the Cisco Unity server when a subscriber listens to an e-mail message by using TTS. Cisco Unity hangs when you log off of Windows 2000.
Workarounds
•Lock Windows 2000 instead of logging off. However, if someone other than the person who locked the system unlocks the system, the person who locked the system will be logged off and this will cause Cisco Unity to hang if a TTS message has been accessed.
•Use L&H 3000 instead of L&H RealSpeak TTS on Windows 2000.

Description

CSCae03457
|
When you finish a phone record and playback session and close the Media Master or ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook form, the AvTrapConnectionHolderSvr process does not end properly and remains visible in Task Manager. This may cause problems with third-party applications.
|
CSCae06114
|
In the Subscriber Playback conversation, Cisco Unity maps the # key to two functions. After a message being forwarded is addressed, the prompt says: "To add another name, press 1. To record an introduction to the message, press 2. To forward the message as is, press #. For message options, press #." When the # key is pressed, the message is forwarded as is.
The message options portion of the prompt has been corrected ("For message options, press 3").
|
CSCae06207
|
When you disable a message notification device using the Cisco Unity Administrator (Subscribers > Subscribers > Message Notification) and then try to delete the phone number associated with that device, an error message appears. When the page refreshes, the phone number reappears.
|
CSCae06454
|
When specifying call routing rules, if you use a hyphen to designate a range of ports and the range includes a two-digit port number, the wrong ports are affected. For example, a routing rule that is enabled on ports 1-10 works only on ports 1 and 10, and not on ports 2 through 9.
|
CSCae06581
|
The Subscriber Setup > Message Settings > Fax Delivery conversation does not let you enter a pause in a fax delivery number.
|
CSCae06678
|
With some Dialogic® integrations, resynchronizing MWIs occasionally causes Tapisrv.exe to crash or MWI ports to stop working.
To activate the fix
Add the parameter MinimumMWIRequestInterval=<milliseconds to wait between MWIs> in the [Configuration] section of the active phone system file. We recommend a value of 750.
|
CSCae07690
|
Under some circumstances, the wrong date is assigned to a subscriber's standard greeting, causing the disabling of the standard greeting. This occurs because the property AVP_TIME_EXPIRES in DohPropTest is either (empty) or the date that the machine was installed when a new subscriber account is created. When a greeting is edited that has the date that the machine was installed, AVP_TIME_EXPIRES changes to 12/31/90, which results in the disabling of the standard greeting.
|
CSCae07707
|
The Integration Monitor utility does not update the display properly and consumes too much memory when left open overnight.
|
CSCae07844
|
In the following cases, the Cisco Unity AVImport utility returns a run-time error when you import from Microsoft Exchange or from a CSV file:
•When the All Subscribers distribution list is removed from the default subscriber template.
•When a First Name and Last Name are not entered for the user being imported.
|
CSCae07867
|
A 40- to 48-port load and a large global address list may cause subscribers to experience an 8- to 20-second delay after Cisco Unity answers and before the prompt "Please enter your password" is played.
|
CSCae07909
|
The TTS conversation does not read the subject line and body text of e-mails. This will occur when the Cisco Unity system is using the G.729a codec with the AV-Cisco TSP. The following error is logged in the application event log:
Source: AvTTS_MC
Description: WavOutSupportsFormat failed with %2 (%3).
|
CSCae07963
|
In Cisco Unity version 2.4(6.102), when L&H RealSpeak is the TTS engine and the subscriber conversation language is set to anything other than ENU, e-mail messages are not read.
|
CSCae07970
|
MWI request frequency under heavy load can cause MWI failure.
To activate the fix
Add the parameter MinimumMWIRequestInterval=<milliseconds to wait between MWIs> in the [Configuration] section of the active phone system file. We recommend a value of 750.
|
CSCae08014
|
Installing the Internet Voice Connector on a Windows 2000 machine with Active Directory fails because the IVC installation program is hard-coded to use LDAP port 389.
The IVC installation program now asks what the Exchange LDAP port is.
|
CSCae08065
|
When you attempt to import Exchange subscribers by using the Cisco Unity AvImport utility or the Cisco Unity Administrator, an error message indicates that there are no matching records in Exchange to import, even though Exchange users do exist.
|
CSCae08114
|
When an Exchange distribution list has an invalid alias, running Cisco Unity Setup results in an error message. The message says that you may continue with setup and manually configure the system later, though this cannot be done. Exchange distribution lists do not show up in the Cisco Unity Administrator.
|
CSCae08137
|
When you are forwarding a message to another subscriber by using the phone, and either there is only one match to the letters you entered or you are addressing by extension, Cisco Unity does not state the name of the recipient that is being added, but simply says "added."
|
CSCdt90267
|
When using a serial integration, leading zeros are stripped for forwarded calls. This causes a call to go to the opening greeting instead of the specified mailbox when the forwarded party's extension starts with a 0.
To activate the fix
Add the following parameters:
•In the serial integration file (for example, Averic.avd), in the [Configuration] section, add DoNotStripZero=YES.
•In the phone system file that you are using (for example, Ericsson0001.ini), in the [Configuration] section, add AllowZeroLeadingExtensions=1.
|
CSCdu06733
|
On Toshiba phone systems using SMDI integration, some release transfers initiated by Cisco Unity are not answered when forwarded back to Cisco Unity from the RNA/Busy subscriber extension. In the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
Software\Arbiter\1.0\SystemConfiguration, the AllowCallsFromVoiceMail value is set to "0" by default. This prevents Cisco Unity from answering calls when the call information for a particular call indicates that the caller is a voice mail extension.
|
CSCdu13459
|
On startup, the system repeatedly asks for a disk in drive A, beginning before the Control-Alt-Delete logon. The message reappears even after you cancel it. The message that appears in the event log is:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Application Popup
Event Category: None
Description: Application popup: AvCsMgr.exe - No Disk : There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive A.
|
CSCdu17234
|
When integrating Cisco Unity with Cisco CallManager, you sometimes receive ring no answer when calling Cisco Unity. Eventually you may be forwarded to a Cisco Unity port that answers. The port that causes the error becomes locked and can be unlocked only by restarting the system.
Just before the disconnect/reconnect sequence starts, an AvMIU_MC error appears in the event log. The AvMIU_MC error is:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: AvMiu_MC
Event Category: Error
Description: Component Miu: Thread 0x00000A64 had a Failure on Port 39 in Method CAvMiuTapiLine::GetNewCall()
This has been seen only on very high-traffic systems under extreme load, and will occur only when you are using AV-Cisco TSP 1.0(0.32) with Cisco Unity 2.4(6.102).
|
CSCdu17422
|
Cisco Unity repeatedly disconnects from and reconnects to Cisco CallManager, and ports become locked. An AvMIU_MC warning appears in the event log just before the disconnect/reconnects begin. This problem occurs under heavy load with AV-Cisco TSP 1.0(0.28), Cisco CallManager 3.0(8), and Unity versions 2.4(6.115) and later.
|
CSCdu31554
|
In very rare cases, a port gets into an endless loop of disconnects and reconnects. This occurs with Cisco Unity 2.4(6.102) when the Cisco Unity server has a large number of voice messaging ports and a relatively slow processor.
|
CSCdu31584
|
In very rare cases, a port gets into an endless loop of disconnects and reconnects. When this occurs, the Windows Event log contains an Miu Drop warning for each disconnect and reconnect. This occurs with Cisco Unity 2.4(6.102).
|
CSCdu53543
|
If you are using the G729a codec with L&H RealSpeak, you must manually enable the G729a codec by changing the registry.
|
CSCdu54454
|
If you are integrating Cisco Unity with Cisco CallManager, and if a port is configured both to answer calls and to turn MWIs on and off, Cisco Unity may attempt to use that port to turn an MWI on or off at the same time that it is processing a call on that port. This causes the MWI attempt to fail.
