Before doing the following tasks to integrate Cisco Unity with the NEC NEAX 2400 phone system by using PIMG units (media gateways), confirm that the Cisco Unity server is ready for the integration by completing the applicable tasks in the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide. If you are installing a new Cisco Unity server by using the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide, you may have already completed some of the following tasks.

1. Review the system and equipment requirements to confirm that all phone system and Cisco Unity server requirements have been met. See the "Requirements" section.

2. Plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity. See Chapter 2, "Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity."

3. Program the NEC NEAX 2400 phone system and extensions. See the "Programming the NEC NEAX 2400 PIMG Phone System for Integrating with Cisco Unity" section.

4. Set up the PIMG units. See the "Setting Up the Digital PIMG Units" section.

5. Create the integration. See the "Creating an Integration with the NEC NEAX 2400 Phone System" section.


Caution Do not edit the phone configuration file (also known as the switch ini file) to customize this integration. If you change the settings in this file, the integration may not function correctly.

6. Test the integration. See Chapter 14, "Testing the Integration."

7. If you have a secondary server for Cisco Unity failover, integrate the secondary server. See Chapter 15, "Integrating a Secondary Server for Cisco Unity Failover with a PIMG Integration."

Requirements

The NEC NEAX 2400 integration supports configurations of the following components:

Phone System

One of the following NEC NEAX 2400 phone systems:

IMG

IMX

IPX (release 15 or later)

One or more of the applicable PIMG units. For details, see Chapter 1, "Introduction."

The voice messaging ports in the phone system connected by digital 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 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 Server

Cisco Unity installed and ready for the integration, as described in the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

A license that enables the applicable number of voice messaging ports.

Centralized Voice Messaging

Cisco Unity supports centralized voice messaging by supporting various inter-phone system networking protocols including, for example, proprietary protocols such as Avaya DCS, Nortel MCDN, or Siemens CorNet, and standards-based protocols such as QSIG or DPNSS. For details, see the "Centralized Voice Messaging" section in the "Integrating Cisco Unity with the Phone System" chapter of the Cisco Unity Design Guide Release 5.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/5x/design/guide/5xcudgx.html.

Programming the NEC NEAX 2400 PIMG Phone System for Integrating with Cisco Unity

The following programming instructions are provided as an example only. The specific programming for your phone system may vary depending on its configuration.


Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity 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 Dialout MWI, do not send calls to it.

Step 5 Enter the settings shown in Table 8-33 for the voice messaging ports.

For best performance, use the first voice messaging ports for incoming calls and the last ports to dial out. This helps minimize the possibility of a collision, in which an incoming call arrives on a port at the same time that Cisco Unity takes the port off-hook to dial out.


Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity 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 Message Notification, do not send calls to it.

Table 8-33 Settings for the Voice Messaging Ports 

Field
Considerations

Extension

Enter the extension for the port as assigned on the phone system.

Enabled

Check this check box to enable the port. The port is enabled during normal operation.

Uncheck this check box to disable the port. When the port is disabled, calls to the port get a ringing tone but are not answered. Typically, the port is disabled only by the installer during testing.

Answer Calls

Check this check box to designate the port for answering calls. These calls can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from subscribers.

Message Notification

Check this check box to designate the port for notifying subscribers of messages. Assign Message Notification to the least busy ports.

Dialout MWI

Check this check box to designate the port for turning MWIs on and off. Assign Dialout MWI to the least busy ports.

AMIS Delivery

(available with the AMIS licensed feature only)

Check this check box to designate the port for making outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. Cisco Unity supports the Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) protocol, which provides an analog mechanism for transferring voice messages between different voice messaging systems.

This setting affects outbound AMIS calls only. All ports are used for incoming AMIS calls.

Because the transmission of outgoing AMIS messages may tie up voice ports for long periods of time, you may want to adjust the schedule on the Network > AMIS > Schedule page so that outgoing AMIS calls are placed during closed hours or at times when Cisco Unity is not processing many calls.

TRAP Connection

Check this check box so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients. Assign TRAP Connection to the least busy ports.


Step 6 Click Save.

Step 7 Click the SIP Info tab.

Step 8 Uncheck the Register with SIP Server check box and click Save.

Step 9 At the prompt to restart the Cisco Unity services, click No.

Step 10 Repeat Step 3 through Step 9 for all remaining PIMG units.

Step 11 In the left pane, click Properties for the phone system.

Step 12 In the right pane, click the PIMG tab.

Step 13 Click Save.

Step 14 At the prompt to restart the Cisco Unity services, click Yes.

Step 15 After the Cisco Unity services restart, exit UTIM.



Caution Do not edit the phone configuration file (also known as the switch ini file) to customize this integration. If you change the settings in this file, the integration may not function correctly.
