Installing the Cisco Unity-CM TSP

This section contains procedures for installing the Cisco Unity-CM TSP depending on the version of Cisco Unity:

•For a Cisco Unity 4.x System

•For a Cisco Unity 3.1(x) System

For a Cisco Unity 4.x System

Do the procedure in this section only if you are installing Cisco Unity-CM TSP 8.0(2) on a Cisco Unity version 4.x system. (Note that version 8.0(2) is automatically installed with Cisco Unity 4.1(1).)

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 at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_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 4.x System

---

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 Cisco Unity-CM TSP Version 8.0(2)" section, and double-click SkinnySetup.exe.

Step 3 Follow the on-screen prompts.

Step 4 Restart the Cisco Unity server.

---

For a Cisco Unity 3.1(x) System

Do the procedure in this section only if you are installing Cisco Unity-CM TSP 8.0(2) on a Cisco Unity version 3.1(x) system.

Note that 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 at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_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 3.1(x) System

---

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 Cisco Unity-CM TSP Version 8.0(2)" 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:

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.

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 more information on the caveats in this section, in addition to caveats of any severity for any release. Bug Toolkit is available at the website http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl.

Note that this section contains caveat information for Cisco Unity-CM TSP Release 8.0(2) only. For caveat information for earlier versions of the Cisco Unity-CM TSP, refer to the applicable release notes. Release notes for all versions of the Cisco Unity-CM TSP are available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Open Caveats—Release 8.0(2)

Table 2 Cisco Unity-CM TSP Release 8.0(2) Open Caveats 

Caveat Number	Severity	Component	Description
CSCsa79169	2	telephony	Transfers from Cisco Unity 4.x will be dropped if the destination DN is out of bandwidth and the DN has call waiting enabled. This problem occurs with Cisco Unity 4.x and Cisco CallManager 4.x, when locations and call waiting are enabled. Workaround Disable call waiting on the extensions that Cisco Unity needs to transfer calls to.
CSCsb33436	3	telephony	For the G.729a codec, the packet immediately preceding the comfort noise packet is not always transmitted. After a careful review of audio captures on calls missing some of these preceding packets, it does not appear that this causes audio quality problems. However, network monitoring applications such as a sniffer will detect this packet loss and flag it as a problem. The IP phone will also report back to Cisco CallManager that packets were lost during the call. This problem occurs only with the G.729a codec and is known to occur with the Cisco Unity-CM TSP 7.0(4b) and 8.0(1b). It is likely that all Cisco Unity-CM TSP versions have this issue. Workaround Disable comfort noise generation by Cisco Unity. Do the following steps. 1. Start Regedit. Caution Changing the wrong registry key or entering an incorrect value can cause the server to malfunction. Before you edit the registry, confirm that you know how to restore it if a problem occurs. (Refer to the "Restoring" topics in Registry Editor Help.) Note that for a Cisco Unity failover system, registry changes on one Cisco Unity server must be made manually on the other Cisco Unity server, because registry changes are not replicated. If you have any questions about changing registry key settings, contact Cisco TAC. 2. If you do not have a current backup of the registry, click Registry > Export Registry File, and save the registry settings to a file. 3. Expand the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ CurrentControlSet\Services\Avaudio\Parameters 4. Right-click the value ComfortNoise and click Modify. 5. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, under Base, click Decimal. 6. In the Value Date field, enter 128. 7. Click OK. 8. Restart the Cisco Unity server. 9. If Cisco Unity is configured for failover, repeat Step 1. through Step 8. on the secondary server.

Resolved Caveat—Release 8.0(2)
