If single inbox is enabled for this unified messaging service and if you disable and later re-enable the unified messaging service, Unity Connection resynchronizes the Unity Connection and Exchange mailboxes for the affected users. Note the following:
•If users delete messages in Exchange but do not delete the corresponding messages in Unity Connection while the unified messaging service is disabled, the messages will be resynchronized into the Exchange mailbox when the unified messaging service is re-enabled.
•If messages are hard deleted from Exchange (deleted from the Deleted Items folder) before the unified messaging service is disabled, the corresponding messages that are still in the Deleted Items folder in Unity Connection when the unified messaging service is re-enabled will be resynchronized into the Exchange Deleted Items folder.
•If users delete messages in Unity Connection but do not delete the corresponding messages in Exchange while the unified messaging service is disabled, the messages remain in Exchange when the unified messaging service is re-enabled. Users must delete the messages from Exchange manually.
•If users change the status of messages in Exchange (for example, from unread to read) while the unified messaging service is disabled, the status of Exchange messages will be changed to the current status of the corresponding Unity Connection messages when the unified messaging service is re-enabled.
•When you re-enable the unified messaging service, depending on the number of users associated with the unified messaging service and the size of their Unity Connection and Exchange mailboxes, resynchronization for existing messages may affect synchronization performance for new messages.

Enter a descriptive name for the service.
If you are creating more than one unified messaging service for Exchange, note that this is the name that will appear on the Users > Unified Messaging Accounts page when you configure users for unified messaging. Enter a display name that will simplify selecting the correct unified messaging service for each user.
(Available only when you selected HTTPS in the Web-Based Protocol list) Check this check box if you want Cisco Unity Connection to verify certificates uploaded to the Unity Connection server against the certificates installed on Exchange servers that Unity Connection is accessing. For example, if you check this check box, Unity Connection verifies that:
•The SSL certificate installed on the Exchange server that Unity Connection is accessing matches an SSL certificate on the Unity Connection server.
•The SSL certificate has not expired.
If the validation fails:
•If you configure the unified messaging service to search for Exchange servers, Unity Connection will search for another Exchange server. If another Exchange server is found and if the SSL certificate on that server can be validated, Unity Connection will synchronize voice messages with Exchange.
•If you configure the unified messaging service to access a specific Exchange server, Unity Connection does not search for another Exchange server, and does not synchronize voice messages with Exchange. Self-signed certificates cannot be validated. If you choose HTTPS from the Web-Based Protocol list, and if you are using self-signed certificates on your Exchange servers, do not check the Validate Certificates for Exchange Servers check box, or Unity Connection will not be able to access Exchange.
(Applicable only when you select Search for Exchange Servers) Enter the DNS domain name of the Active Directory domain in which you want Unity Connection to begin searching for Exchange servers.
Note The DNS domain name in the Active Directory DNS Domain Name field can be resolved either in IPv4 address or IPv6 address based on the IP address records present in the Client Access Server (CAS) in the DNS server. However, the IPv6 address works only when Unity Connection platform is configured in Dual (IPv4/IPv6) mode. For more information on Configuring IPv6 settings, see Adding or Changing the IPv6 Addresses of Cisco Unity Unity Connection chapter of Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unity Connection guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/upgrade/guide/10xcucrug051.html.

Self-signed certificates cannot be validated. If you choose LDAPS from the Protocol Used to Communicate with Domain Controllers list, and if you are using self-signed certificates on your domain controllers, do not check the Validate Certificates for Active Directory Domain Controllers check box. If you do check the check box, Unity Connection will not be able to access domain controllers to search for Exchange servers.
Exchange Server
(Applicable only when you select Specify an Exchange Server) Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), the server name, or the IP address of the Exchange server that you want Unity Connection to access. If you are entering the name of an Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 server, you must enter the name of a client access server.
If you select HTTPS from the Web-Based Protocol list, and if you check the Validate Certificates for Exchange Servers check box, you must enter one of the values that appears in the SSL certificate for the Exchange server. (The SSL certificate may identify the server by any combination of FQDN, server name, or IP address.)
Note The IP address in the Exchange Server text box can be either IPv4 address or IPv6 address. However, the IPv6 address works only when Unity Connection platform is configured in Dual (IPv4/IPv6) mode. For more information on Configuring IPv6 settings, see Adding or Changing the IPv6 Addresses of Cisco Unity Connection chapter of Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unity Connection guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/upgrade/guide/10xcucrug051.html.

Access Exchange Email by Using Text to Speech (TTS)
If you want Cisco Unity Connection users who are associated with this unified messaging service to be able to use text to speech to listen to Exchange email, check this check box.
If you enable text to speech here, you can still disable it for individual users when you configure unified messaging for Unity Connection users. However, you cannot enable text to speech for an individual user if you disable it here.
Access Exchange Calendar and Contacts
If you want Cisco Unity Connection users who are associated with this unified messaging service to be able to access Exchange calendars and contacts, check this check box.
If you enable access to Exchange calendars and contacts here, you can still disable it for individual users when you configure unified messaging for Unity Connection users. However, you cannot enable access to Exchange calendars and contacts for an individual user if you disable it here.
Synchronize Unity Connection and Exchange Mailboxes (Single Inbox)
If you want Cisco Unity Connection and Exchange mailboxes to be synchronized for users who are associated with this unified messaging service, check this check box.
If you enable single inbox here, you can still disable it for individual users when you configure unified messaging for Unity Connection users. However, you cannot enable single inbox for an individual user if you disable it here.
If you disable and later re-enable single inbox for this unified messaging service, Unity Connection resynchronizes the Unity Connection and Exchange mailboxes for the affected users. Note the following:
•If users delete messages in Exchange but do not delete the corresponding messages in Unity Connection while single inbox is disabled, the messages will be resynchronized into the Exchange mailbox when single inbox is re-enabled.
•If messages are hard deleted from Exchange (deleted from the Deleted Items folder) before single inbox is disabled, the corresponding messages that are still in the Deleted Items folder in Unity Connection when single inbox is re-enabled will be resynchronized into the Exchange Deleted Items folder.
•If users delete messages in Unity Connection but do not delete the corresponding messages in Exchange while single inbox is disabled, the messages remain in Exchange when single inbox is re-enabled. Users must delete the messages from Exchange manually.
•If users change the status of messages in Exchange (for example, from unread to read) while single inbox is disabled, the status of Exchange messages will be changed to the current status of the corresponding Unity Connection messages when single inbox is re-enabled.
•When you re-enable single inbox, depending on the number of users associated with the unified messaging service and the size of their Unity Connection and Exchange mailboxes, resynchronization for existing messages may affect synchronization performance for new messages.
Reset
Select Reset to make Unity Connection perform the following operations for every Unity Connection mailbox associated with this unified messaging service:
•Synchronize any voice messages that have not already been synchronized.
•Resubscribe for Exchange notifications, which causes Exchange to send Unity Connection notification of changes to a message (for example, a message was deleted) and notification of new voice messages that were created by using ViewMail for Outlook.
•Resynchronize the state of existing messages, for example, the read/unread status.
Message Action for Email
Select the action that Cisco Unity Connection takes when the user receives an email message:
•Accept the Message—Unity Connection delivers the email message to the Unity Connection mailbox of the user.

•Accept and Relay the Message—Unity Connection delivers the email message to the Unity Connection mailbox of the user, and forwards a copy of the message to address that is configured for synchronization with Exchange.
Note that this setting may work in conjunction with or override the Email setting on the Edit Message Actions page for an individual user.
If the Reject the Message option is selected on the Edit Message Actions page for the user, Unity Connection rejects all incoming email messages and does not synchronize them with Exchange, regardless of the value of this setting.
Otherwise, the two settings interact as follows, depending on the configuration of the Relay Address for the user (also on the Edit Message Actions page):
•If the Relay Address is the same as the email address that is used for synchronization with Exchange, the value of the Message Action for Email setting overrides the Email setting on the Edit Message Actions page of the user.
•If the Relay Address differs from the email address that is used for synchronization with Exchange, both settings take effect:
–If either setting is configured for Accept the Message or Accept and Relay the Message, the message is delivered to the Unity Connection mailbox.
–If the Message Action for Email setting for the unified messaging service is configured for either Relay the Message or Accept and Relay the Message, the message is relayed to Exchange.
–If the Edit Message Actions setting for the user is configured for either Relay the Message or Accept and Relay the Message, the message is relayed to the Relay Address.

Field
Description
Register
The Register button initiates the first-time registration with the external transcription service. Do not select Register until the other fields on this page are filled in and saved.
The registration process can take up to 15 minutes. Voicemail transcriptions cannot be processed until the registration process has completed successfully. Wait for the registration process to complete successfully before using the Test button.
When registration has completed successfully, you will not need to re-register unless you have changed the Incoming SMTP Address, or the security of the server has been compromised.
Test
When registration has completed successfully, select the Test button to send a test transcription to the external service to ensure that transcriptions are routed correctly. The test sends a transcription request to the transcription service via the SMTP smart-host, and the transcription service sends the response to the email address specified in the Incoming SMTP address field.
The test includes checking for license file violations and checking whether users are assigned to a class of service that enables SpeechView.
The test can take up to 15 minutes.
Enabled
Check the Enabled check box to enable communications with the external transcription service or the remote Unity Connection location that is providing transcription proxy services.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
