Published May 30, 2007
This document provides instructions for integrating the Cisco SIP Proxy Server phone system with Cisco Unity Connection.
Integration Tasks
Before doing the following tasks to integrate Cisco Unity Connection with the Cisco SIP Proxy Server phone system, confirm that the Cisco Unity Connection server is ready for the integration by completing the applicable tasks in the Cisco Unity Connection Installation Guide.
The following task lists describe the process for creating, changing, and deleting integrations.
Task List to Create the Integration
Use the following task list to set up a new integration with the Cisco SIP Proxy Server phone system. If you are installing a new Cisco Unity Connection server by using the Cisco Unity Connection Installation Guide, you may have already completed some of the following tasks.
1. 
Review the system and equipment requirements to confirm that all phone system and Cisco Unity Connection server requirements have been met. See the "Requirements" section.
2. Plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity Connection. See the "Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity Connection" section.
3. Program the SIP proxy server and other call processing components. See the "Programming the Cisco SIP Proxy Server Phone System" section.
4. Set up the SIP gateway that services Cisco Unity Connection. See the "Configure the SIP Gateway Servicing Cisco Unity Connection for the SIP Integration" section.
5. Create the integration. See the "Creating a New Integration with the Cisco SIP Proxy Server Phone System" section.
6. Test the integration. See the "Testing the Integration" section.
7. If this integration is a second or subsequent integration, add the applicable new user templates for the new phone system. See the (Multiple Integrations Only) Adding New User Templates.
Requirements
The Cisco SIP Proxy Server integration supports configurations of the following components:
Phone System
•Cisco SIP Proxy Server.
•Cisco SIP Proxy Server-enabled phones (for example, SIP-enabled Cisco IP Phone 7960 or Pingtel xpressa).
The SIP phones must use the REFER method for call transfers.
•SIP-enabled gateways (for example, Cisco AS5300 Access Server, Cisco 2600 series router, or Cisco 3600 series router) for access to the PSTN.
For details on compatibility of the phone system components with the integration, see the "Appendix: Compatibility of Phone System Components" section.
Cisco Unity Connection Server
•Cisco Unity Connection installed and ready for the integration, as described in the Cisco Unity Connection Installation Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
•A license that enables the applicable number of voice messaging ports.
Network Configuration
•Cisco Unity Connection server, Cisco SIP Proxy Server, SIP-enabled phones, and SIP-enabled gateways installed on the same subnet (ensures adequate bandwidth and avoids latency issues affecting integration behavior).
Integration Description
The Cisco SIP Proxy Server integration uses the SIP proxy server to set up communications between the voice messaging ports on the Cisco Unity Connection server and the applicable end point (for example, a SIP-enabled phone). The communications occur through:
•An IP network (LAN, WAN, or Internet) to all SIP-enabled devices connected to it.
•A SIP-enabled gateway to the PSTN and all phones connected to it.
Figure 1 shows the connections.
Figure 1 Connections Between the Cisco SIP Proxy Server Phone System and Cisco Unity Connection
Call Information
The proxy server sends the following information in the SIP message with the calls forwarded:
•In the Diversion header, the extension of the called party
•In the Diversion header, the reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set to forward all calls)
•In the From header, the extension of the calling party (for internal calls) or the SIP URL of the calling party (if it is an external call and the system uses caller ID)
Cisco Unity Connection uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example, a call forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection is answered with the personal greeting of the user. If the phone system routes the call to Cisco Unity Connection without this information, Cisco Unity Connection answers with the opening greeting.
Integration Functionality
The Cisco SIP Proxy Server integration with Cisco Unity Connection provides the following features:
•Call forward to personal greeting
•Call forward to busy greeting
•Caller ID
•Easy message access (a subscriber can retrieve messages without entering an ID because Cisco Unity Connection identifies the subscriber based on the extension from which the call originated; a password may be required)
•Identified subscriber messaging (Cisco Unity Connection identifies the subscriber who leaves a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension from which the call originated)
•Message waiting indication (MWI)
Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems
When Cisco Unity Connection is installed as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (CMBE)—on the same server with Cisco CallManager—Cisco Unity Connection cannot be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time.
When Cisco Unity Connection is not installed as Cisco Unified Communications Suite, Cisco Unity Connection can be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time. For information on and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity Connection with multiple phone systems, refer to the Multiple Phone System Integration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection 2.0 at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.
Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity Connection
Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity Connection.
Unlike other integrations, the hunt group mechanism for a Cisco SIP Proxy Server phone system integration is implemented on the Cisco Unity Connection server. Within a port group, each incoming call hunts for an available voice messaging port among all the ports in a round-robin (or circular) fashion. If a voice messaging port in the cluster is set not to answer calls or is not enabled, a call reaching that port may receive a busy signal.
The following table describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity Connection that can be set on Telephony Integrations > Port of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

The Number of Voice Messaging Ports to Install
The number of voice messaging ports to install depends on numerous factors, including:
•The number of calls Cisco Unity Connection will answer when call traffic is at its peak.
•The expected length of each message that callers will record and that users will listen to.
•The number of users.
•The number of calls made for message notification.
•The number of MWIs that will be activated when call traffic is at its peak.
•The number of TRAP connections needed when call traffic is at its peak. (TRAP connections are used by Cisco Unity Connection web applications to play back and record over the phone.)
•The number of calls that will use the automated attendant and call handlers when call traffic is at its peak.
It is best to install only the number of voice messaging ports that are needed so that system resources are not allocated to unused ports.
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Answer Calls
The calls that the voice messaging ports answer can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from users. Assign all of the voice messaging ports to answer calls.
You can set voice messaging ports to both answer calls and to dial out (for example, to set MWIs).
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Dial Out
Ports that will dial out can do one or more of the following:
•Notify users by phone, pager, or e-mail of messages that have arrived.
•Turn MWIs on and off for user extensions.
•Make a TRAP connection so that users can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity Connection web applications.
Preparing for Programming the Phone System
Record your decisions about the voice messaging ports to guide you in programming the phone system.
Programming the Cisco SIP Proxy Server Phone System
If you use programming options other than those supplied in the following procedure, the performance of the integration may be affected. Do the following procedure.
To Program the Cisco SIP Proxy Server Phone System
Step 1 Install and set up the Cisco SIP Proxy Server as described in the server documentation.
Step 2 Program each phone to forward calls to <the contact line name>@<SIP proxy server>, the voice messaging line name that users will use to contact Cisco Unity Connection.
Step 3 If Cisco Unity Connection will authenticate with the Cisco SIP Proxy Server, enter a user record for the contact line name that Cisco Unity Connection will use.
Configure the SIP Gateway Servicing Cisco Unity Connection for the SIP Integration
To configure the SIP gateway for the SIP integration with Cisco Unity Connection, do the following three procedures.
To Configure Application Session on the Sip Gateway
Step 1 On the VoIP dial-peer servicing Cisco Unity Connection, use the following command:
Step 2 Create a destination pattern that matches the voice messaging port numbers. For example, if the system has voice messaging ports 1001 through 1016, enter the dial-peer destination pattern 10xx.
Step 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for all remaining VoIP dial-peers servicing Cisco Unity Connection.
To Disable the SIP Media Inactivity Timer
Step 1 On the gateway, go into the gateway configuration mode by entering the following command:
Step 2 Disable the RTCP timer by entering the following command:
Router(config-gateway)# no timer receive-rtcp
Step 3 Exit the gateway configuration mode by entering the following command:
Router(config-gateway)# exit
To Enable DTMF Relay for SIP Calls by Using Named Telephony Events
Step 1 On the gateway, go into dial-peer configuration mode and define the VoIP dial peer by entering the following command:
Router(config)# dial-peer voice <dial peer number> voip
Step 2 Configure the SIP protocol on the gateway by entering the following command:
Router(config-dial-peer)# session protocol sipv2
Step 3 Enable DTMF relay using NTE RTP packets by entering the following command:
Router(config-dial-peer)# dtmf-relay rtp-nte
Step 4 Configure the type of payload in the NTE packet by entering the following command:
Router(config-dial-peer)# rtp payload-type nte <NTE packet payload type>

Step 21 Log on to Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT).
Step 22 On the Unity Connection menu, click Port Monitor. The Port Monitor tool appears in the right pane.
Step 23 In the right pane, click Start Polling. The Port Monitor will display which port is handling the calls that you will make.
To Test an External Call with Release Transfer
Step 1 From Phone 2, enter the access code necessary to get an outside line, then enter the number outside callers use to dial directly to Cisco Unity Connection.
Step 2 In the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.
Step 3 When you hear the opening greeting, enter the extension for Phone 1. Hearing the opening greeting means that the port is configured correctly.
Step 4 Confirm that Phone 1 rings and that you hear a ringback tone on Phone 2. Hearing a ringback tone means that Cisco Unity Connection correctly released the call and transferred it to Phone 1.
Step 5 Leaving Phone 1 unanswered, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to "Idle." This state means that release transfer is successful.
Step 6 Confirm that, after the number of rings that the phone system is set to wait, the call is forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection and that you hear the greeting for the test user. Hearing the greeting means that the phone system forwarded the unanswered call and the call-forward information to Cisco Unity Connection, which correctly interpreted the information.
Step 7 On the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.
Step 8 Leave a message for the test user and hang up Phone 2.
Step 9 In the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to "Idle." This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.
Step 10 Confirm that the MWI on Phone 1 is activated. The activated MWI means that the phone system and Cisco Unity Connection are successfully integrated for turning on MWIs.
To Test Listening to Messages
Step 1 From Phone 1, enter the internal pilot number for Cisco Unity Connection.
Step 2 When asked for your password, enter the password for the test user. Hearing the request for your password means that the phone system sent the necessary call information to Cisco Unity Connection, which correctly interpreted the information.
Step 3 Confirm that you hear the recorded voice name for the test user (if you did not record a voice name for the test user, you will hear the extension number for Phone 1). Hearing the voice name means that Cisco Unity Connection correctly identified the user by the extension.
Step 4 Listen to the message.
Step 5 After listening to the message, delete the message.
Step 6 Confirm that the MWI on Phone 1 is deactivated. The deactivated MWI means that the phone system and Cisco Unity Connection are successfully integrated for turning off MWIs.
Step 7 Hang up Phone 1.
Step 8 On the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to "Idle." This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.
To Set Up Supervised Transfer on Cisco Unity Connection
Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, on the Edit Transfer Option page for the test user, in the Transfer Type field, click Supervise Transfer.
Step 2 In the Rings to Wait For field, enter 3.
Step 3 Click Save.
Step 4 Minimize the Cisco Unity Connection Administration window.
Do not close the Cisco Unity Connection Administration window because you will use it again in a later procedure.
To Test Supervised Transfer
Step 1 From Phone 2, enter the access code necessary to get an outside line, then enter the number outside callers use to dial directly to Cisco Unity Connection.
Step 2 On the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.
Step 3 When you hear the opening greeting, enter the extension for Phone 1. Hearing the opening greeting means that the port is configured correctly.
Step 4 Confirm that Phone 1 rings and that you do not hear a ringback tone on Phone 2. Instead, you should hear the indication your phone system uses to mean that the call is on hold (for example, music).
Step 5 Leaving Phone 1 unanswered, confirm that the state of the port handling the call remains "Busy." This state and hearing an indication that you are on hold mean that Cisco Unity Connection is supervising the transfer.
Step 6 Confirm that, after three rings, you hear the greeting for the test user. Hearing the greeting means that Cisco Unity Connection successfully recalled the supervised-transfer call.
Step 7 During the greeting, hang up Phone 2.
Step 8 On the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to "Idle." This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.
Step 9 Click Stop Polling.
Step 10 Exit RTMT.
To Delete the Test User
Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Users, then click Users.
Step 2 On the Search Users page, check the check box to the left of the test user.
Step 3 Click Delete Selected.
(Multiple Integrations Only) Adding New User Templates
When you create the first phone system integration, this phone system is automatically selected in the default user template. The users that you add after creating this phone system integration will be assigned to this phone system by default.
However, for each additional phone system integration that you create, you must add the applicable new user templates that will assign users to the new phone system. You must add the new templates before you add new users who will be assigned to the new phone system.
For details on adding new user templates, refer to the "Adding, Changing, or Deleting an Account Template" chapter in the Cisco Unity Connection User Moves, Adds, and Changes Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
