System Requirements

•The Cisco Unity server must be running a version of Cisco Unity from 2.4(6.135) through 4.0(1).

Step 1 Browse to the WinNT\System32 directory.

Step 2 Right-click Avskinny.tsp, 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-CM TSP version is displayed in the Value window.

To determine the Cisco Unity version in use by using the Cisco Unity Administrator

In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the System > Configuration > Software Versions page. The Cisco Unity version is displayed in the Cisco Unity Version field.

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.

Downloading the Cisco Unity-CM TSP for a Cisco Unity 3.x or 2.4(6) System

Note Version 7.0(1) of the Cisco Unity-CM TSP is automatically installed with Cisco Unity version 4.0(x). Use the following procedure only if you are installing Cisco Unity-CM TSP 7.0(1) on a Cisco Unity version 3.x or 2.4(6) system.

To download the Cisco Unity-CM TSP (for a Cisco Unity version 3.x or 2.4(6) system only)

Step 1 Confirm that the Cisco Unity server has at least 6 MB of hard disk space available for the download file and the extracted files.

Step 2 On a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, go to the Software Center website at http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-voice.shtml, and click Cisco Unity-CM TSP under "Cisco Unity Software."

Step 3 Download the file CiscoUnityCMTSP7.0.1.exe to the directory of your choice.

Step 4 Unzip the file CiscoUnityCMTSP7.0.1.exe to the default directory or to the directory of your choice.

Step 5 Delete the file CiscoUnityCMTSP7.0.1.exe to free hard disk space.

Installing the Cisco Unity-CM TSP on a Cisco Unity 3.x or 2.4(6) System

Version 7.0(1) of the Cisco Unity-CM TSP is automatically installed with Cisco Unity version 4.0(x), and the Cisco Unity Telephony Integration Manager Add Wizard is used to configure Cisco Unity ports.

Use the procedure below only if you are installing Cisco Unity-CM TSP 7.0(1) on a Cisco Unity version 3.x or 2.4(6) system.

Note If you are changing the number of voice messaging ports on the Cisco Unity system, you must add a voice messaging port to Cisco CallManager for each port that you are connecting to Cisco Unity before you install the Cisco Unity-CM TSP. Refer to the "Changing the Number of Voice Messaging Ports" section in the applicable version of the Cisco CallManager integration guide. Cisco CallManager integration guides are available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_configuration_guides_list.html and http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_configuration_guides_books_list.html.

You can keep the previous voice messaging ports, and the Cisco Unity-CM TSP configuration is automatically retained.

To install the Cisco Unity-CM TSP (on a Cisco Unity version 3.x or 2.4(6) system only)

Step 1 Stop Cisco Unity (right-click the Cisco Unity icon in the system tray, then click Stop Cisco Unity).

Step 2 Browse to the directory in which you saved the extracted Cisco Unity-CM TSP files in the "Downloading the Cisco Unity-CM TSP for a Cisco Unity 3.x or 2.4(6) System" section, and double-click SkinnySetup.exe.

Step 3 Follow the on-screen prompts.

Step 4 In the Cisco Unity-CM TSP dialog box, in the Select Cisco CallManager list, click the Cisco CallManager server to which Cisco Unity is connected.

If the Select Cisco CallManager list is empty, click Add, enter the IP address of the Cisco CallManager server to which Cisco Unity is connected, then click OK.

Step 5 In the Cisco Unity-CM TSP Settings dialog box, verify the information in the following three fields:

•Primary CallManager IP Address

•Number of Voice Ports

•Device Name Prefix (The prefix must match the prefix for the Voice Mail ports. Note that the device name prefix is case-sensitive.)

Step 6 Confirm that the dial numbers in the MessageWaitingOffDN and MessageWaitingOnDN fields match the Cisco CallManager settings on the applicable Cisco CallManager Administration page:

Cisco CallManager
version 3.2(1) and later

Settings are on the Features > Voice Mail > Message Waiting page in Cisco CallManager Administration.

Cisco CallManager
version 3.1(4) and earlier

Settings are on the Service > Service Parameters page in Cisco CallManager Administration


If the dial numbers are not in the MessageWaiting fields of the Cisco Unity-CM TSP Settings dialog box, enter them.

Step 7 Confirm that the Cisco CallManager Device list displays the correct number of Cisco Unity ports and that the port names match the names of the Voice Mail ports.

Step 8 Click OK.

Step 9 In the Cisco Unity-CM Service Provider dialog box, click Test.

Step 10 In the Test Configuration and Connection dialog box, click OK.

Step 11 If the configuration is correct, the Test Succeeded dialog box appears. Click OK, then skip to Step 13.

Technical Assistance Center

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

Cisco TAC inquiries 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.

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

Cisco TAC Web Site

You can use the Cisco TAC Web Site 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 this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service 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 this URL to register:

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

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

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

If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. 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 automatically opens a case.

To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this 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). When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
