Voicemail Basics

Calling Cisco Unity Connection

You can call Cisco Unity Connection from your desk phone, from another phone within your organization, or from outside your organization.

Procedure
    Step 1   Dial the applicable number to call Connection.
    Step 2   If you are calling from another phone within your organization or from outside your organization, press * (star key) when Connection answers.
    Step 3   If prompted, enter your ID and press # (pound key).
    Step 4   Enter your Connection PIN and press #.
    Note   

    If you use the voice-recognition option, Connection may prompt you to say your PIN or to enter it on the phone keypad. To say your PIN, speak each digit individually. If Connection is not able to recognize your PIN on the first attempt, you must enter it on the keypad. (For security reasons, you may want to enter your PIN on the keypad rather than say it; this option is always available to you.)

    Sending Voice Messages

    Revised November 16, 2010

    You can send voice messages to other Cisco Unity Connection users without dialing their extensions. This can be helpful when you do not want to disturb a user or when you do not have time for a phone conversation. Sending voice messages may also help to avoid misunderstandings that can be "read" into email messages.

    You can address a voice message to one or multiple recipients, and to private and system distribution lists. Depending on the input style you are using, you address a message either by saying the name of a Connection user or distribution list, or by using the phone keypad to spell the name of the user or list, or to enter the extension or list number.

    The following special delivery options are available:

    Urgent

    Mark a message urgent so that Connection sends it before regular messages.

    Return receipt

    Request a return receipt so that Connection notifies you when the recipient opens the message.

    Note   

    You may or may not receive receipts in response to your requests, depending on how your recipient's and your voicemail accounts are set up. And when you do receive receipts, they can be either read receipts or delivery receipts, again depending on how the voicemail accounts are set up.

    Private

    Mark a message private so that the recipient knows to treat it confidentially. Connection users cannot forward private messages by phone.

    Future delivery

    Deliver the message at the future date or time that you specify.

    Sending a Voice Message by Using the Phone Keypad

    Procedure
      Step 1   Call and sign in to Connection.
      Step 2   At the Main menu, select the option Send a Message.
      Step 3   Follow the prompts to record, address, and send the voice message.

      To pause or resume recording, press 8. To end recording, press #.

      Tip   

      • While addressing the message, press ## to switch between spelling and number entry.

      • To address the message to a private list, enter the list number by using number entry, or, if the list has a display name in the Messaging Assistant web tool, spell the name by using spelling entry.

      • When more than one user matches your addressing entries, Connection plays a list of matches that you can navigate quickly. Press # to select a recipient from a list; press 7 to skip to the previous name and 9 to skip to the next name; and press 77 to skip to the beginning of a list and 99 to skip to the end of a list.

      Sending a Voice Message by Using Voice Commands

      Procedure
        Step 1   Call and sign in to Connection.
        Step 2   When Connection asks, "What do you want to do," say:

        "Send a message."

        Tip   

        To address the message before recording it or to specify a message property, say it now. For example: "Send an urgent message to Tim Smith" or "Send a private message."

        Step 3   Record the message. When you are finished, press # or stay silent for a few seconds.

        To pause or resume recording, press 8.

        Step 4   When prompted, say the name of a message recipient.

        If Connection adds a recipient that you did not intend, say "Remove" to remove the last recipient added or "Edit recipients" to remove other recipients.

        When you are finished addressing the message, say "Done."

        Tip   

        • For faster addressing, say the name of the next recipient before Connection finishes the confirmation message.

        • To temporarily switch to using the phone keypad for adding a recipient, press 9. Connection returns to voice-recognition mode after you add the recipient.

        Step 5   Follow the prompts and use the following voice commands to finish the message:
        Action Voice Command

        Send the message

        "Send"

        "Mark urgent and private"

        Mark message for return receipt

        "Return receipt"

        Deliver the message at a future date or time

        When Connection asks when you want the message delivered, say "Today," "Tomorrow," a day of the week, or a calendar date, and a time of day. You must say "Send" when you are ready to have the message queued for future delivery.

        "Future delivery"

        Cancel future delivery

        "Cancel future delivery"

        Review recorded message and message properties

        "Review message"

        Checking Messages

        Revised November 16, 2010

        You can check new and saved messages in your Cisco Unity Connection mailbox by phone, as well as messages in your email application.

        You can save or delete messages during message playback or after you listen to an entire message.

        Ask your Connection administrator if the system is set up to enforce a message-retention policy and, if so, how long it stores your messages before permanently deleting them. (Connection does not indicate when a message-retention policy is enforced, nor does it warn you before messages are permanently deleted as a result of such a policy.)

                    Managing Receipts

                    Revised November 16, 2010

                    As you work with Cisco Unity Connection, you may manage the following types of receipts:

                    Read

                    Receipt message that informs you when the recipient plays your message.

                    Delivery

                    Receipt message that informs you when your message was delivered to the intended recipient.

                    Nondelivery

                    Receipt message that informs you when your message could not be delivered to the intended recipient.

                    Although you can request only return receipts in the Connection phone interface, you may be able to specifically request read or delivery receipts by using an email application. Note that you may or may not receive receipts in response to your requests, depending on how your recipient's and your voicemail accounts are set up. And when you do receive receipts in response to your receipt requests, they can be either read receipts or delivery receipts, again depending on how the voicemail accounts are set up.

                    When you check messages, Connection plays receipts along with your other messages. You play and delete receipts in the same way as other messages; you cannot reply to or forward them.

                    For read receipts, Connection plays a list of the recipients who played the message you sent. For nondelivery receipts (NDRs), Connection identifies recipients whose mailboxes did not accept the message.

                    After Connection plays an NDR, you can hear the original message and resend it to the recipient(s) who failed to receive it. You can record an introduction, modify the recipient list, and change delivery options when resending a message. Once you resend the message, Connection automatically deletes the NDR.

                    Managing Receipts by Using the Phone Keypad

                    Procedure
                      Step 1   Call and sign in to Connection.
                      Step 2   At the Main menu, select the option Play New Messages, then Receipts .
                      Step 3   Follow the prompts to manage your receipts.

                      Managing Receipts by Using Voice Commands

                      Procedure
                        Step 1   Call and sign in to Connection.
                        Step 2   When Connection asks, "What do you want to do," say:

                        "Play Receipts." Connection tells you the total number of receipts that you have, then plays them.

                        Or

                        "Play <new/saved/deleted> receipts." Connection tells you the number of receipts that meet your criteria, then plays them.

                        Step 3   Follow the prompts and use the following voice commands to manage the receipt after you have listened to it:
                        Action Voice Command

                        Replay receipt

                        "Repeat"

                        Save or restore as saved

                        "Save"

                        Delete receipt

                        "Delete"

                        Resend original message (NDRs only)

                        "Resend"

                        Save as new

                        "Mark new"

                          If you use the voice-recognition option, Connection may prompt you to say your PIN or to enter it on the phone keypad. To say your PIN, speak each digit individually. If Connection is not able to recognize your PIN on the first attempt, you must enter it on the keypad. (For security reasons, you may want to enter your PIN on the keypad rather than say it; this option is always available to you.)

                          Sending Voice Messages

                          Revised November 16, 2010

                          You can send voice messages to other Cisco Unity Connection users without dialing their extensions. This can be helpful when you do not want to disturb a user or when you do not have time for a phone conversation. Sending voice messages may also help to avoid misunderstandings that can be "read" into email messages.

                          You can address a voice message to one or multiple recipients, and to private and system distribution lists. Depending on the input style you are using, you address a message either by saying the name of a Connection user or distribution list, or by using the phone keypad to spell the name of the user or list, or to enter the extension or list number.

                          The following special delivery options are available:

                          Urgent

                          Mark a message urgent so that Connection sends it before regular messages.

                          Return receipt

                          Request a return receipt so that Connection notifies you when the recipient opens the message.

                          Note   

                          You may or may not receive receipts in response to your requests, depending on how your recipient's and your voicemail accounts are set up. And when you do receive receipts, they can be either read receipts or delivery receipts, again depending on how the voicemail accounts are set up.

                          Private

                          Mark a message private so that the recipient knows to treat it confidentially. Connection users cannot forward private messages by phone.

                          Future delivery

                          Deliver the message at the future date or time that you specify.

                          Sending a Voice Message by Using the Phone Keypad

                          Procedure
                            Step 1   Call and sign in to Connection.
                            Step 2   At the Main menu, select the option Send a Message.
                            Step 3   Follow the prompts to record, address, and send the voice message.

                            To pause or resume recording, press 8. To end recording, press #.

                            Tip   

                            • While addressing the message, press ## to switch between spelling and number entry.

                            • To address the message to a private list, enter the list number by using number entry, or, if the list has a display name in the Messaging Assistant web tool, spell the name by using spelling entry.

                            • When more than one user matches your addressing entries, Connection plays a list of matches that you can navigate quickly. Press # to select a recipient from a list; press 7 to skip to the previous name and 9 to skip to the next name; and press 77 to skip to the beginning of a list and 99 to skip to the end of a list.

                            Sending a Voice Message by Using Voice Commands

                            Procedure
                              Step 1   Call and sign in to Connection.
                              Step 2   When Connection asks, "What do you want to do," say:

                              "Send a message."

                              Tip   

                              To address the message before recording it or to specify a message property, say it now. For example: "Send an urgent message to Tim Smith" or "Send a private message."

                              Step 3   Record the message. When you are finished, press # or stay silent for a few seconds.

                              To pause or resume recording, press 8.

                              Step 4   When prompted, say the name of a message recipient.

                              If Connection adds a recipient that you did not intend, say "Remove" to remove the last recipient added or "Edit recipients" to remove other recipients.

                              When you are finished addressing the message, say "Done."

                              Tip   

                              • For faster addressing, say the name of the next recipient before Connection finishes the confirmation message.

                              • To temporarily switch to using the phone keypad for adding a recipient, press 9. Connection returns to voice-recognition mode after you add the recipient.

                              Step 5   Follow the prompts and use the following voice commands to finish the message:
                              Action Voice Command

                              Send the message

                              "Send"

                              Review or edit list of message recipients

                              "Edit recipients"

                              Add other recipients

                              "Add names"

                              Edit recorded message

                              "Change recording"

                              Review message properties

                              "Review message properties"

                              Mark message as urgent

                              "Mark urgent"

                              Mark message as private

                              "Mark private"

                              Mark message as urgent and private

                              "Mark urgent and private"

                              Mark message for return receipt

                              "Return receipt"

                              Deliver the message at a future date or time

                              When Connection asks when you want the message delivered, say "Today," "Tomorrow," a day of the week, or a calendar date, and a time of day. You must say "Send" when you are ready to have the message queued for future delivery.

                              "Future delivery"

                              Cancel future delivery

                              "Cancel future delivery"

                              Review recorded message and message properties

                              "Review message"

                              Revised November 16, 2010

                              You can check new and saved messages in your Cisco Unity Connection mailbox by phone, as well as messages in your email application.

                              You can save or delete messages during message playback or after you listen to an entire message.

                              Ask your Connection administrator if the system is set up to enforce a message-retention policy and, if so, how long it stores your messages before permanently deleting them. (Connection does not indicate when a message-retention policy is enforced, nor does it warn you before messages are permanently deleted as a result of such a policy.)

                              Checking Messages by Using the Phone Keypad

                              Procedure

                                  Step 2   When Connection asks, "What do you want to do," say:

                                  "Play Messages." Connection tells you the total number of new and saved messages in your Connection mailbox, plays all new voice messages, emails, and receipts, then plays saved messages.

                                  Or

                                  Use the following commands to select the type of messages that you want to hear:

                                  A message from "Cisco Unity Connection Messaging System" means that the caller was not a Connection user or was not signed in as a user when the message was left. You cannot reply to messages from such callers.

                                      When Connection asks when you want the message delivered, say "Today," "Tomorrow," a day of the week, or a calendar date, and a time of day. You must say "Send" when you are ready to have the message queued for future delivery.

                                      "Future delivery"

                                      Cancel future delivery

                                      Forwarding Messages

                                      Messages marked private cannot be forwarded by phone. This includes any voice message that you or another Connection user marked private.

                                      Forwarding a Message by Using the Phone Keypad

                                      Procedure
                                        Step 1   After listening to the message, select the option Forward the Message.
                                        Step 2   Follow the prompts to record an introduction, address, and send the forwarded message.

                                        To pause or resume recording, press 8. To end recording, press #.

                                        Tip   

                                        • While addressing the message, press ## to switch between spelling and number entry.

                                        • To address the message to a private list, enter the list number by using number entry, or, if the list has a display name in the Messaging Assistant web tool, spell the name by using spelling entry.

                                        • When more than one user matches your addressing entries, Connection plays a list of matches that you can navigate quickly. Press # to select a recipient from a list; press 7 to skip to the previous name and 9 to skip to the next name; and press 77 to skip to the beginning of a list and 99 to skip to the end of a list.

                                        Step 3   After you send the forwarded message, follow the prompts to handle the original message.

                                        Forwarding a Message by Using Voice Commands

                                        Procedure
                                          Step 1   After listening to the message, say "Forward."
                                          Step 2   Record an introduction to the forwarded message, if applicable. To pause or resume recording, press 8.

                                          When you are finished, press # or stay silent for a few seconds.

                                          Step 3   When prompted, say the name of a message recipient.

                                          If Connection adds a recipient that you did not intend, say "Remove" to remove the last recipient added or "Edit recipients to remove other recipients.

                                          When you are finished addressing the message, say "Done."

                                          Tip   

                                          • For faster addressing, say the name of the next recipient before Connection finishes the confirmation message.

                                          • To temporarily switch to using the phone keypad for adding a recipient, press 9. Connection returns to voice-recognition mode after you add the recipient.

                                          Step 4   Follow the prompts and use the following voice commands to finish the forwarded message:
                                          Action Voice Command

                                          Send the message

                                          "Send"

                                          Review or edit list of message recipients

                                          "Edit recipients"

                                          Add other recipients

                                          "Add names"

                                          "Change recording"

                                          Review message properties

                                          "Review message properties"

                                          Mark message as urgent

                                          "Mark urgent"

                                          Mark message as private

                                          "Mark private"

                                          Mark message as urgent and private

                                          "Mark urgent and private"

                                          Mark message for return receipt

                                          "Return receipt"

                                          Deliver the message at a future date or time

                                          When Connection asks when you want the message delivered, say "Today," "Tomorrow," a day of the week, or a calendar date, and a time of day. You must say "Send" when you are ready to have the message queued for future delivery.

                                          "Future delivery"

                                          Cancel future delivery

                                          "Cancel future delivery"

                                          Review recorded message and message properties

                                          "Review message"
                                          Step 5   After you have sent the forwarded message, follow the prompts to handle the original message.

                                          Managing Receipts

                                          Revised November 16, 2010

                                          As you work with Cisco Unity Connection, you may manage the following types of receipts:

                                          Read

                                          Receipt message that informs you when the recipient plays your message.

                                          Delivery

                                          Receipt message that informs you when your message was delivered to the intended recipient.

                                          Nondelivery

                                          Receipt message that informs you when your message could not be delivered to the intended recipient.

                                          Although you can request only return receipts in the Connection phone interface, you may be able to specifically request read or delivery receipts by using an email application. Note that you may or may not receive receipts in response to your requests, depending on how your recipient's and your voicemail accounts are set up. And when you do receive receipts in response to your receipt requests, they can be either read receipts or delivery receipts, again depending on how the voicemail accounts are set up.

                                          When you check messages, Connection plays receipts along with your other messages. You play and delete receipts in the same way as other messages; you cannot reply to or forward them.

                                          For read receipts, Connection plays a list of the recipients who played the message you sent. For nondelivery receipts (NDRs), Connection identifies recipients whose mailboxes did not accept the message.

                                          After Connection plays an NDR, you can hear the original message and resend it to the recipient(s) who failed to receive it. You can record an introduction, modify the recipient list, and change delivery options when resending a message. Once you resend the message, Connection automatically deletes the NDR.

                                          Managing Receipts by Using the Phone Keypad

                                          Procedure
                                            Step 1   Call and sign in to Connection.
                                            Step 2   At the Main menu, select the option Play New Messages, then Receipts .
                                            Step 3   Follow the prompts to manage your receipts.

                                            Managing Receipts by Using Voice Commands

                                            Procedure
                                              Step 1   Call and sign in to Connection.
                                              Step 2   When Connection asks, "What do you want to do," say:

                                              "Play Receipts." Connection tells you the total number of receipts that you have, then plays them.

                                              Or

                                              "Play <new/saved/deleted> receipts." Connection tells you the number of receipts that meet your criteria, then plays them.

                                              Step 3   Follow the prompts and use the following voice commands to manage the receipt after you have listened to it:
                                              Action Voice Command

                                              Replay receipt

                                              "Repeat"

                                              Save or restore as saved

                                              "Save"

                                              Delete receipt

                                              "Delete"

                                              Resend original message (NDRs only)

                                              "Resend"

                                              Save as new

                                              "Mark new"

                                              Rewind receipt

                                              (No command available)

                                              Play receipt properties

                                              "Message properties"

                                              Play original message (NDRs only)

                                              "Play original message"
