Task List to Create a Siemens Hicom 150 PIMG Integration

Before doing the following tasks to integrate Unity Connection with the Siemens Hicom 150 phone system using PIMG units (media gateways), confirm that the Unity Connection server is ready for the integration after completing the server installation, following the tasks in the “Installing Cisco Unity Connection” chapter of the Install, Upgrade, and Maintenance Guide for Cisco Unity Connection, Release 10.x, available at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/install_upgrade/guide/10xcuciumgx/10xcuciumg010.html.

1. Review the system and equipment requirements to confirm that all phone system and Unity Connection server requirements have been met. See the “Requirements” section.

2. Plan how the voice messaging ports are used by Unity Connection. See the “Planning the Usage of Voice Messaging Ports in Cisco Unity Connection” chapter.

3. Program the Siemens Hicom 150 phone system and extensions. See the “Programming Siemens Hicom 150 Phone System for Integration” section.

4. Set up the PIMG units.

5. Create the integration. See the “Creating New Integration with Siemens Hicom 150 Phone System” section.

6. Test the integration. See the “Testing the Integration” chapter.

7. If this integration is a second or subsequent integration, add the applicable new user templates for the new phone system. See the “Adding New User Templates for Multiple Integrations” chapter.

Requirements

The Siemens Hicom 150 integration supports configurations of the following components:

Programming Siemens Hicom 150 Phone System for Integration

If you use programming options other than those supplied in the following procedure, the performance of the integration may be affected.

The following programming instructions are provided as an example only. The specific programming for your phone system may vary depending on its configuration.

Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Unity Connection that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Send MWI Requests, do not send calls to it.

Creating New Integration with Siemens Hicom 150 Phone System

After ensuring that the Siemens Hicom 150 phone system, the PIMG units, and Unity Connection are ready for the integration, do the following procedure to set up the integration and to enter the port settings.

To Create an Integration

Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Telephony Integrations, then select Phone System.

Step 2 On the Search Phone Systems page, under Display Name, select the name of the default phone system.

Step 3 On the Phone System Basics page, in the Phone System Name field, enter the descriptive name that you want for the phone system.

Step 4 If you want to use this phone system as the default for TRaP connections so that administrators and users without voicemail boxes can record and playback through the phone in Unity Connection web applications, check the Default TRAP Switch check box. If you want to use another phone system as the default for TRaP connections, uncheck this check box.

Step 5 Under Message Waiting Indicator Settings, select Use Same Port for Enabling and Disabling MWIs.

Step 6 Select Save.

Step 7 On the Phone System Basics page, in the Related Links drop-down box, select Add Port Group and select Go.

Step 8 On the New Port Group page, enter the applicable settings and select Save.

Table 13-29 Settings for the New Port Group Page

Field	Setting
Phone System	Select the name of the phone system that you entered in Step 3.
Create From	Select Port Group Template and select SIP to DMG/PIMG/TIMG in the drop-down box.
Display Name	Enter a descriptive name for the port group. You can accept the default name or enter the name that you want.
SIP Security Profile	Select 5060.
SIP Transport Protocol	Select the SIP transport protocol that Unity Connection uses.
IP Address or Host Name	Enter the IP address of the PIMG unit that you are integrating with Unity Connection.
Port	Enter the SIP port of the PIMG unit that Unity Connection connects to. We recommend that you use the default setting. Caution This name must match the setting in the TCP/UDP Server Port field on the Configuration > VoIP > General page of the PIMG unit. Otherwise, the integration cannot function correctly.

Step 9 On the Port Group Basics page, under Message Waiting Indicator Settings, uncheck the Enable Message Waiting Indicators check box and select Save.

Step 10 In the Related Links drop-down box, select Add Ports and select Go.

Step 11 On the New Port page, enter the following settings and select Save.

Step 12 On the Search Ports page, select the display name of the first voice messaging port that you created for this phone system integration.

Note By default, the display names for the voice messaging ports are composed of the port group display name followed by incrementing numbers.

Step 13 On the Port Basics page, set the voice messaging port settings as applicable. The fields in the following table are the ones that you can change.

Step 14 Select Save.

Step 15 Select Next.

Step 16 Repeat Step 13 through Step 15 for all remaining voice messaging ports for the phone system.

Step 17 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Telephony Integrations, then select Phone System.

Step 18 On the Search Phone Systems page, under Display Name, select the name of the phone system that you entered in Step 3.

Step 19 Repeat Step 7 through Step 18 for each remaining PIMG unit integrated with Unity Connection.

Note Each PIMG unit is connected to one port group with the applicable voice messaging ports. For example, a system that uses five PIMG units requires five port groups, one port group for each PIMG unit.

Step 20 To create a port group for MWIs, do the following substeps.

Note All MWI requests are handled by the master PIMG unit and sent to the phone system over the RS-232 serial cable (without using voice messaging ports). So the following substeps create a separate port group without voice messaging ports and enable the port group for MWIs that are “not port specific” (they do not use ports).

a. In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Telephony Integrations, then select Port Group.

b. On the Search Port Groups page, select Add New.

c. On the New Port Group page, enter the applicable settings and select Save.

Table 13-32 Settings for the New Port Group Page (MWIs)

Phone System	Select the name of the phone system that you entered in Step 3.
Create From	Select Port Group Template and select SIP to DMG/PIMG/TIMG in the drop-down box.
Display Name	Enter a MWI Port Group or another descriptive name for the port group.
SIP Security Profile	Select 5060.
SIP Transport Protocol	Select the SIP transport protocol that Unity Connection uses.
IP Address or Host Name	Enter the IP address of the master PIMG unit.
Port	Enter the SIP port of the master PIMG unit. Caution This name must match the setting in the TCP/UDP Server Port field on the Configuration > VoIP > General page of the PIMG unit. Otherwise, the integration cannot function correctly.

d. On the Port Group Basics page, on the Edit menu, select Advanced Settings.

e. On the Edit Advanced Settings page, under SIP MWI Requests, select Not Port Specific. and select Save.

f. On the Edit menu, select Port Group Basics.

g. Under Port Group, select Reset.

Step 21 If another phone system integration exists, in Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Telephony Integrations, then select Trunk. Otherwise, skip to Step 25.

Step 22 On the Search Phone System Trunks page, on the Phone System Trunk menu, select New Phone System Trunk.

Step 23 On the New Phone System Trunk page, enter the following settings for the phone system trunk and select Save.

Step 24 Repeat Step 22 and Step 23 for all remaining phone system trunks that you want to create.

Step 25 In the Related Links drop-down list, select Check Telephony Configuration and select Go to confirm the phone system integration settings.

If the test is not successful, the Task Execution Results displays one or more messages with troubleshooting steps. After correcting the problems, test the connection again.

Step 26 In the Task Execution Results window, select Close.
