Last Updated: July 25, 2006

After ensuring that the prerequisites described in "Prerequisites for Installing Cisco Unity Express Software" on page 13 are completed, the Cisco Unity Express software is ready to be installed. This chapter describes the installation procedures and contains the following information and procedures:

Note When you order Cisco Unity Express, Cisco Unity Express software and the purchased license are installed on the module at the factory. Spare modules also ship with the software and license installed.

The following procedures are required to configure a new installation of Cisco Unity Express:

Table 7 Task List for Installing Cisco Unity Express Software on a New System

Checklist	Checkoff
1. Configure the IP addressing between the module and the router. See "Activating IP Connectivity to Cisco Unity Express Software".
2. Begin configuring the Cisco Unity Express software. See the Cisco Unity Express 2.3 CLI Administrator Guide and Cisco Unity Express 2.3 GUI Administrator Guide for the configuration tasks. Note The Cisco Unity Express GUI Administrator Guide describes the procedure for performing initial configuration tasks using the initialization wizard tool, which uses a graphical user interface (GUI). If you want to use CLI commands to perform the configuration tasks covered by the initialization wizard (for example, if you want to use a configuration script), you can skip the initialization wizard by using the web skipinitwizard command in the Cisco Unity Express EXEC mode. This command turns off the initialization wizard. You cannot turn it on or restart it unless you reimage the Cisco Unity Express module.

Activating IP Connectivity to Cisco Unity Express Software

After installing the Cisco Unity Express NM or AIM module, activate the IP communication link between the system and the Cisco Unity Express application.

Prerequisites

The following information is required for activating the software:

•Slot and unit numbers of the Cisco Unity Express module on the Cisco IOS router that hosts Cisco Unity Express.

•IP address and subnet mask of the Cisco IOS router that hosts Cisco Unity Express or the unnumbered interface type and number.

•IP address of the Cisco Unity Express module. This IP address must be on the same subnet as the Cisco IOS router that hosts Cisco Unity Express.

•IP address of the default gateway of the Cisco Unity Express router. This IP address must be the same IP address as the Cisco IOS router that hosts Cisco Unity Express.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. interface service-engine slot/unit

2. ip address router-ip-addr subnet-mask
or
ip unnumbered type number

3. service-module ip address cue-side-ip-addr subnet-mask

4. service-module ip default-gateway gw-ip-addr

5. exit

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	interface Service-Engine slot/unit Example: Router(config)# interface Service-Engine 2/0	Enters interface configuration mode.
Step 2	ip address router-ipaddr subnet-mask Example: Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.231.195 255.255.0.0 or Router(config-if)# ip unnumbered type number Example: Router(config-if)# ip unnumbered FastEthernet 0/0	Specifies the IP address and subnet mask of the Cisco IOS router hosting Cisco Unity Express. Specifies the interface type and number for the Cisco IOS router hosting Cisco Unity Express.
Step 3	service-module ip address cue-side-ipaddr subnet-mask Example: Router(config)# service-module ip address 172.16.231.190 255.255.0.0	Specifies the IP address of the Cisco Unity Express module interface. This IP address must be on the same subnet as the Cisco IOS router that hosts Cisco Unity Express.
Step 4	service-module ip default-gateway gw-ipaddr Example: Router(config)# service-module ip default-gateway 172.16.231.195	Specifies the IP address the Cisco IOS router that hosts Cisco Unity Express.
Step 5	exit Example: Router(config-if)# exit	Exits interface configuration mode.

Examples

The following example illustrates the IP connectivity activation procedure:

Router(config)# interface Service-Engine 1/0

Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.9 255.0.0.0

Router(config-if)# service-module ip address 10.0.0.10 255.0.0.0

Router(config-if)# service-module ip default-gateway 10.0.100.10

Router(config-if)# exit

What to Do Next

After configuring connectivity to the Cisco Unity Express module, run the initialization wizard to begin configuring the Cisco Unity Express database. See Cisco Unity Express 2.3 GUI Administrator Guide.
