New and Changed Requirements and Support—Release 1.2(1)
This section contains information about new and changed requirements and support in the Cisco Unity Connection Release 1.2(1) time frame only. Refer to the release notes of the applicable version for information on new and changed support with earlier versions of Cisco Unity Connection. Release notes for all versions of Cisco Unity Connection are available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_release_notes_list.html.
Additional License Required to Upgrade from Connection 1.1 to Version 1.2
For Cisco Unity Connection version 1.2, a new license tag—LicRegionIsUnrestricted—was added to the Connection license file.
Caution If you upgrade to Connection 1.2 without having installed a license that includes the new LicRegionIsUnrestricted tag, users will not be able to use English-United States as the language for the Connection 1.2 conversation. In addition, users will not be able to use personal call transfer rules.
Note that several months ago, Connection 1.1 customers were e-mailed information about getting a license with the additional tag, so you may already have installed a license with the tag.
If you complete the upgrade to Connection 1.2 and a license that includes the LicRegionIsUnrestricted tag has not been installed, and no Connection languages have been installed (other than English-United States, which is installed by default), and one or more Connection language settings were set to English-United States in version 1.1(1), you are alerted to a licensing problem in the following ways:
•During the upgrade, the Cisco Unity Connection Configuration Assistant alerts you that English-United States cannot be used on the system. The Configuration Assistant also alerts you that you must either install a license that allows using English-United States or install one or more Connection languages.
•When you log on to Cisco Unity Connection Administration, the Licensing page displays. You are not allowed to display any other Connection Administration pages.
•Connection logs errors in the Windows application event log.
•After 48 hours, Connection automatically stops taking calls. Thereafter, Connection checks hourly to determine whether the licensing violation has been resolved.
To resolve the licensing problem, install a license that includes the LicRegionIsUnrestricted tag. After you install the license file, you must restart Connection before it will start taking calls again.
If you choose not to install a license file that includes the LicRegionIsUnrestricted tag, you must install one or more Connection languages, change all language settings from English-United States to other languages, and delete all personal call transfer rules. (After you install one or more languages, Connection Administration allows you to display pages other than the Licensing page.)
Until you change the last language setting and delete the last personal call transfer rule, Connection continues to log licensing errors in the Windows application event log and stops taking calls after 48 hours.
All Connection 1.2 demonstration licenses include the LicRegionIsUnrestricted tag, so you can use English-United States on demonstration systems.
To Determine Whether the LicRegionIsUnrestricted License Tag Is Present
Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand System Settings, then click Licenses.
Step 2 On the Licenses page, click the name of the first license file.
Step 3 On the View License page, in the File Content box, search for the text LicRegionIsUnrestricted.
Step 4 If you do not find the text in the first file, search all of the other license files listed on the Licenses page.
Step 5 If "LicRegionIsUnrestricted" does not appear in any of the license files, get a license that contains the tag before you begin the upgrade to Connection 1.2.

Utility Updates in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot
Updates to utilities in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot are frequently posted between Cisco Unity Connection releases. The updates commonly do not apply to a specific release, so we do not list the tools that have been updated since the last version of Connection. However, you can sign up to be notified when the utilities posted on the Cisco Unity Tools website are updated. Go to http://ciscounitytools.com, and click Sign Up Here.
Most of the utilities in the Tools Depot are also available on the Cisco Unity Tools website (http://ciscounitytools.com). If the Cisco Unity Connection server is connected to the Internet and you run a Tools Depot utility that is available on the Cisco Unity Tools website, the utility automatically checks to see whether an updated version is available. If the Cisco Unity Connection server is not connected to the Internet, we recommend that you check the Cisco Unity Tools website to determine whether a later version of the utility is available.
Some utilities work only with selected versions of Cisco Unity Connection. If a utility does not appear in the Tools Depot, it does not work with the version of Connection currently running.
The Cisco Unity Tools Depot is a collection of utilities that perform a variety of administration, audio management, diagnostic, reporting, and phone system integration functions. To display the Tools Depot, double-click the Cisco Unity Tools Depot icon on the Connection server desktop or click Programs > Unity > Cisco Unity Tools Depot on the Windows Start menu. The left pane of the Tools Depot lists all of the available utilities by category. To display Help for a utility, click the name in the left pane. To run the utility, double-click the name.
Wizard Available for Creating Wallet Cards of Conversations
The Wallet Card wizard in the Custom Key Map utility produces a PDF file of a wallet card that can be printed and given to Cisco Unity Connection users. The templates in the wizard list frequently used menu options and shortcuts for managing messages and personal options by phone; the wizard fills in the applicable touchtone keys based on the Custom Keypad Mapping conversation. The wizard also allows you to customize technical support information and instructions for logging on to Cisco Unity Connection.
The Wallet Card wizard is launched from the Custom Key Map utility in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot. For more information, refer to Custom Key Map Help.

New Functionality—Release 1.2(1)
This section contains information about new functionality for Cisco Unity Connection Release 1.2(1) only. Refer to the release notes of the applicable version for information on new functionality in earlier versions of Cisco Unity Connection. Release notes for all versions of Cisco Unity Connection are available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_release_notes_list.html.
Note that the Cisco Unity Tools website may offer scripts and applications that were not included in Cisco Unity Connection 1.2(1). Some offerings may not be supported by Cisco TAC. Refer to http://www.ciscounitytools.com/ for information.
Cisco Unity Connection Conversation Enhancements
New functionality in the Cisco Unity Connection conversation is described in the following sections:
•Empty Deleted Items Folder in Voice-Recognition Conversation
•Greetings Menu Options in Voice-Recognition Conversation
•Recording Greetings in Additional Languages by Phone with a Multilingual System
•Send Messages to Public and Private Distribution Lists in Voice-Recognition Conversation
•Voice Recognition Confirmation Confidence Threshold Setting
Empty Deleted Items Folder in Voice-Recognition Conversation
Connection users with the voice-recognition option can delete all messages in the Deleted Items folder by phone by saying "Empty Deleted Items folder" at the Main menu.
Greetings Menu Options in Voice-Recognition Conversation
Connection users with the voice-recognition option can play, record, enable, and disable their greetings by using voice commands. Table 1 lists new commands for playing and managing greetings.
Recording Greetings in Additional Languages by Phone with a Multilingual System
With a Cisco Unity Connection multilingual system, users and administrators have the option of providing greetings in multiple languages when the greeting language for either a user's primary call handler or a system call handler is inherited. For example, if Connection is set up to provide prompts in French and Spanish, it is possible to record the standard greeting in both languages so that Spanish- and French-speaking callers can hear the greeting in their own language.
If a greeting is not recorded in a language the system provides, Connection will play the system default greeting for calls associated with that greeting. Note that this feature is not available with the voice-recognition conversation.
More information is available in the following documentation:
•The "Using the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator to Record or Rerecord Call Handler Greetings" section in the "Managing Recorded Greetings and Recorded Names" chapter of the Cisco Unity Connection System Administration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
•The "Recording Greetings in Additional Languages by Phone with a Multilingual System" section in the "Managing Personal Greetings" chapter of the Cisco Unity Connection User Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/products_user_guide_list.html.
Send Messages to Public and Private Distribution Lists in Voice-Recognition Conversation
Connection users with the voice-recognition option can send messages to public and private distribution lists by phone by saying the name of a distribution list when addressing a message.
Voice Directory Handler
With a Cisco Unity Connection system using the voice-recognition option, administrators can create voice-type directory handlers so that callers can say the first name and last name of a Connection user they want to reach. In addition to searching by first and last names, a voice directory handler includes alternate names in searches.
Connection users listed in the directory are available to outside callers as names that can be reached. System contacts are available only to Connection users logged on to the system, and personal contacts are available only to the Connection users who defined them.
Note that with this type of directory handler, users cannot be reached unless they have a first name and last name, or alternate name specified on the User Basics page in Cisco Unity Connection Administration.
More information is available in the "Managing Directory Handlers" chapter of the Cisco Unity Connection System Administration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
Voice Recognition Confirmation Confidence Threshold Setting
The Voice Recognition Confirmation Confidence Threshold setting allows administrators to adjust the likelihood that Cisco Unity Connection will prompt voice-recognition users to confirm an intended action. When a voice-recognition user chooses to exit the system, send a message, delete a message, or cancel an action, Connection may or may not prompt the user to confirm the action (for example, "Are you sure you want to exit?"), depending on whether the voice command was clearly recognized by the system.
A number of factors can influence how well the voice-recognition system "hears" a voice command: phone line quality, background noise, and how quickly or slowly a user speaks. By adjusting the Voice Recognition Confirmation Confidence Threshold setting, administrators can ensure that Connection prompts users for confirmation as necessary and appropriate for the system.
The range of valid entries for the Voice Recognition Confirmation Confidence Threshold setting is 0 to 100; the default value is 60, which should reliably filter out most errors and provide confirmation when necessary for most systems. The setting is available on the System Settings > Advanced page in Cisco Unity Connection Administration.
Changed Functionality—Release 1.2(1)
This section contains information about changed functionality for Cisco Unity Connection Release 1.2(1) only. Refer to the release notes of the applicable version for information on changed functionality in earlier versions of Cisco Unity Connection. Release notes for all versions of Cisco Unity Connection are available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_release_notes_list.html.
Note that the Cisco Unity Tools website may offer scripts and applications that were not included in Cisco Unity Connection 1.2(1). Some offerings may not be supported by Cisco TAC. Refer to http://www.ciscounitytools.com/ for information.
Interface Changes in Cisco Unity Connection Administration
The Cisco Unity Connection Administration interface has been changed to improve usability. In the interface, some pages were added or changed, some fields were changed or moved, and some page and field names were changed without changing their basic functionality.
Message Counts No Longer Truncated in SMS (SMPP) Message Notifications
When an SMS message notification exceeds the maximum number of characters allowed and the notification includes message counts, Cisco Unity Connection truncates only the body of the message, and message counts are preserved. (In earlier versions, the content of the notification message was truncated, starting with the message counts.)
Message Notifications Show CLID of Caller
Message notifications to text devices (SMTP, SMS, text pager, or the Cisco Unity Inbox web tool) will include the following additional information when the Include Caller Information check box is checked:
•The Calling Line ID (CLID) or the name, when in the database, of the sender for the new message.
•The name or extension of the senders for all remaining unheard messages.
Installation and Upgrade Information
•Downloading Software for Cisco Unity Connection 1.2(1)

Cisco Product Security Overview
Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html
From this site, you will find information about how to:
•Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.
•Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.
•Register to receive security information from Cisco.
A current list of security advisories, security notices, and security responses for Cisco products is available at this URL:
To see security advisories, security notices, and security responses as they are updated in real time, you can subscribe to the Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed. Information about how to subscribe to the PSIRT RSS feed is found at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html
Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products
Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:
•For Emergencies only — security-alert@cisco.com
An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.
•For Nonemergencies — psirt@cisco.com
In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:
•1 877 228-7302
•1 408 525-6532
Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been encrypted with PGP versions 2.x through 9.x.
Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html
The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.
If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers before sending any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.
Obtaining Technical Assistance
Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.
Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website
The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.
Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
