Note In versions earlier than 3.1(1), the Cisco Unity-CM TSP was known as the AV-Cisco TSP.

Determining the Cisco Unity Version in Use

The following three procedures describe ways to determine the Cisco Unity version.

To determine whether the Cisco Unity version is 3.1(2), 3.1(2b), or 3.1(2c) by using the CD1.ID file

Step 1 Using Notepad, open the CD1.ID file on the Cisco Unity CD 1 disc or disc image.

Step 2 The following information indicates the Cisco Unity version:

UN312ML1A
Cisco
Unity
3.1(2)
A

Cisco Unity version 3.1(2)

UN312ML1B
Cisco
Unity
3.1(2)
B

Cisco Unity version 3.1(2b)

UN312ML1C
Cisco
Unity
3.1(2)
C

Cisco Unity version 3.1(2c)


To determine whether the Cisco Unity version is 3.1(2) or 3.1(2b) by looking at the Setup.exe file on the Cisco Unity server

Step 1 Browse to the directory CommServer\ConfigurationSetup, and locate the Setup.exe file.

Step 2 The date, time, and size of the Setup.exe file indicate the Cisco Unity version:

12/31/2001
19:08
901 KB

Cisco Unity version 3.1(2)

2/1/2002
12:46
896 KB

Cisco Unity version 3.1(2b)


To determine whether the Cisco Unity version is 3.1(2) or 3.1(2c) by looking at the AvCsMgr.exe file on the Cisco Unity server

Step 1 Browse to the CommServer directory.

Step 2 Right-click AvCsMgr.exe, and click Properties.

Step 3 In the Properties window, click the Version tab.

Step 4 In the Item Name list, click Product Version. The Cisco Unity version is displayed in the Value window.

Upgrading to Cisco Unity 3.1(2c)

On the Software Center website, the file CiscoUnity3.1.2bPatchFrom3.1.1.exe and the Cisco Unity 3.1(2b) CD1 disc image have been replaced with the following:

CiscoUnity3.1.2cPatchFrom3.1.1.exe file

Replaces the file
CiscoUnity3.1.2bPatchFrom3.1.1.exe
(which replaced the file
CiscoUnity3.1.2PatchFrom3.1.1.exe)

Cisco Unity 3.1(2c) CD1 disc image

Replaces the disc image
Cisco Unity 3.1(2b) CD1
(which replaced the disc image

AMIS-Compliant Voice Messaging Systems Qualified for Use with Cisco Unity

Centigram Voice Mail has been qualified for use with Cisco Unity version 3.1(2) and later.

Note When using AMIS networking with voice gateways, make sure the gateways can pass DTMF in both directions and that both the sending and receiving nodes can detect these digits. Otherwise, AMIS messages may be lost or misdirected, or other malfunctions may occur.

For the most current list of all supported AMIS-compliant voice messaging systems—including systems qualified since the release of Cisco Unity version 3.1(2)—refer to the "Supported AMIS-Compliant Voice Messaging Systems" section in Cisco Unity 3.1 System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/sysreq/31_sysrq.htm.

New and Changed Functionality—Release 3.1(2c)

Changing the Display Language for Cisco Unity Event Log Messages

The Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool allows you to temporarily change the display language for Windows Event log messages that are generated by Cisco Unity.

To change the Windows Event log display language for Cisco Unity-generated messages

Step 1 On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Cisco Unity > Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool.

Step 2 In the left pane of the Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool, click Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool > Processes. The node expands to list each process that uses log manager.

Step 3 Right-click Processes or the individual process node of your choice.

Step 4 Click Change Cisco Unity Event Log Language.

Step 5 Click a new language from the list of available languages.

Step 6 Click Apply, then click OK.

Step 7 In the left pane of the Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool, click Event Viewer (Local) then click the log file category you wish to view.

When the Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool is closed, Cisco Unity Event log messages revert to the original language.

Resolved Caveats

This section describes only severity 1, 2, and select severity 3 caveats.

If you have an account with Cisco.com, you can use Bug Toolkit to find caveats of any severity for any release. Bug Toolkit is available at the website http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl.

Enhancement request: Allow the display language for Windows Event log messages generated by Cisco Unity to be set in the Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool.

CSCdu38728

CSCdw61959

In Cisco Unity Import for Exchange 2000, the Exchange server list should contain a list of subscribers from the selected domain who reside on the selected Exchange server.

Note that caveat CSCdx00823, which has very similar symptoms to CSCdu38728 and CSCdw61959, is still open.

CSCdw91072

Calls in to the Cisco Unity system may receive the fail-safe message due to Cisco Unity losing connection to the SQL database.

CSCdw91796

The Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool crashes when attempting to view a log file if a messaging DLL (*_MC.dll) is missing the string associated with logged output.

Technical Assistance Center

The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two types of support are available through the Cisco TAC: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.

Inquiries to Cisco TAC are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:

•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.

•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.

•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.

•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.

Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.

Cisco TAC Web Site

The Cisco TAC Web Site allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco services contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to the following URL to register:

http://www.cisco.com/register/

If you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, and you are a Cisco.com registered user, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If you have Internet access, it is recommended that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses issues that are classified as priority level 1 or priority level 2; these classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer will automatically open a case.

To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml

Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled; for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). In addition, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
