Recommended Action Check that the subscriber's extension is designated as a primary extension.
Cisco Unity Express does not send a MWI to an E.164 number. Choose Configure > Users to
designate a primary extension.
Configurations Disappear
Problem: I configured voice-mail or auto-attendant parameters, but I do not see them in the current Cisco Unity Express configuration.
Explanation You did not click the Apply icon in the GUI to save the changes.
Explanation You made changes using CLI commands to the Cisco Unified CallManager server or
Cisco Unified CME router, but Cisco Unity Express did not pick them up.
Recommended Action (For Cisco Unified CME only) Choose Administration > Synchronize
Information to synchronize the Cisco Unified CME and Cisco Unity Express databases.
Explanation You made changes to the running configuration that were not saved to the startup
configuration.
Recommended Action Choose Administration > Save Configuration to save the running
configuration to the startup configuration.
Wrong GUI Layout
Problem: When I log in to the GUI, I see a limited set of options, not the full administration windows.
Explanation Another administrator is logged in. Only one administrator can access the
administration GUI at a time.
Recommended Action Find out who is logged in and log that person out or wait a few minutes for the
inactivity timer to log that person out.
Auto-Attendant Prompts
Problem: The custom auto-attendant prompt is not working.
Recommended Action Verify that the prompt format is CCITT G.711 u-law, 8kHz, 8-bit, Mono.
