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

Note The most current 7.0(x) version 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(2) 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 Cisco Unity-CM TSP Software Download page at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity-cm-tsp.

Step 3 Download the file CiscoUnityCMTSP7.0.2.exe to the directory of your choice.

Step 4 Unzip the file CiscoUnityCMTSP7.0.2.exe to the default directory or to the directory of your choice.

Step 5 Delete the file CiscoUnityCMTSP7.0.2.exe to free hard disk space.

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

The most current 7.0(x) version 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(2) 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.

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.

New and Changed Functionality—Release 7.0(2)

This section contains information about new and changed functionality for Cisco Unity-CM TSP Release 7.0(2) only. Refer to the applicable release notes for information about new and changed functionality in earlier versions of the Cisco Unity-CM TSP. Release notes for all versions of the Cisco Unity-CM TSP are available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Cisco Unity Uses the Same UDP Port to Send and Receive RTP Audio

When installed with Cisco Unity-CM TSP version 7.0(2) on a Windows 2000 system, Cisco Unity versions 4.x, 3.x, and 2.4(6) use the same UDP port number for sending and receiving RTP audio with each connection. This enhancement allows Cisco Unity subscribers to use IP phones on the other side of a firewall that requires connections with the same UDP port number in both directions. (For example, Cisco Unity port 1 sends RTP audio on UDP port A and also receives RTP audio on UDP port A, Cisco Unity port 2 sends and receives on UDP port B, and so on, for all Cisco Unity ports.)

Installation and Upgrade Notes

Uninstalling the Cisco Unity-CM TSP

It is not necessary to uninstall an earlier version of the Cisco Unity-CM TSP before installing version 6.0(2) or later. The installation process automatically removes the older Cisco Unity-CM TSP.

Cisco.com registered users have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website, including TAC tools and utilities.

Cisco.com

Cisco.com offers a suite of interactive, networked services that let you access Cisco information, networking solutions, services, programs, and resources at any time, from anywhere in the world.

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: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center. The type of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.

We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:

•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration. There is little or no impact to your business operations.

•Priority level 3 (P3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco are willing to commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

•Priority level 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively impacted by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

•Priority level 1 (P1)—An existing network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Cisco TAC Website

The Cisco TAC website provides online documents and tools to help troubleshoot and resolve technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. To access the Cisco TAC website, 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 website. Some services on the Cisco TAC website require 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://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

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

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

If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases online so that you can fully describe the situation and attach any necessary files.

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 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.
