Setting Up the TIMG Units
Do the following procedures to set up the analog TIMG units (media gateways) that are connected to the phone system.
These procedures require that the following tasks have already been completed:
- The phone system is connected to the TIMG units using T1 digital lines and the applicable RS-232 serial cable.
- The TIMG units are connected to a power source.
- The TIMG units are ready to be connected to the LAN or WAN.
Caution Because TIMG units have the same default IP address, you must set them up one at a time. Otherwise, you can experience IP address conflicts.
Fields that are not mentioned in the following procedures must keep their default values. For the default values of all fields, see the manufacturer documentation for the TIMG units.
To Download the TIMG Firmware Update Files for TIMG Units
Step 1 On a Windows workstation that have access to the TIMG units, go to the following link: http://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html?mdfid=280082558&i=rm.

Creating an Integration with the Phone System
After ensuring that the phone system, the TIMG units, and the Unity Connection server are ready for the integration, do the following procedures 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 Select Save.
Step 6 On the Phone System Basics page, in the Related Links drop-down box, select Add Port Group and select Go.
Step 7 On the New Port Group page, enter the applicable settings and select Save.

Check this check box. |
Number of Ports |
Enter the number of voice messaging ports that you want to create in this port group. Note For a Unity Connection cluster, the server must have the number of voice messaging ports that are set up on the phone system for the TIMG integration so that this server can handle all voice messaging traffic for the cluster if one of the servers stops functioning. For example, if the phone system is set up with 16 voice messaging ports, this server must have 16 voice messaging ports. |
Phone System |
Select the name of the phone system that you entered in Step 3. |
Port Group |
Select the name of the port group that you added in Step 7. |
Step 10 On the Search Ports page, select the display name of the first voice messaging port that you created for this phone system integration.

Send MWI Requests |
Uncheck this check box. Otherwise, the integration may not function correctly. |
Allow TRAP Connections |
Check this check box so that users can use the port for recording and playback through the phone in Unity Connection web applications. Assign Allow TRAP Connections to the least busy ports. |
Outgoing Hunt Order |
Enter the priority order in which Unity Connection uses the ports when dialing out (for example, if the Perform Message Notification, Send MWI Requests, or Allow TRAP Connections check box is checked). The highest numbers are used first. However, when multiple ports have the same Outgoing Hunt Order number, Unity Connection uses the port that has been idle the longest. |
