Requirements

The Avaya Definity ProLogix integration supports configurations of the following components:

Phone System

Avaya Definity ProLogix phone system. The voice messaging ports that connect to the PIMG units must be compatible with the 7434ND, 8434, 8434D, or 8434DX digital phones.


Caution You must use 2-wire line cards for these voice messaging ports. Otherwise, the voice messaging ports will not be compatible with the 7434ND, 8434, 8434D, or 8434DX digital phones.

One or more of the applicable PIMG units. For details, see Chapter 1, "Introduction."

The voice messaging ports in the phone system connected by digital lines to the ports on the PIMG units.

We recommend that you connect the voice messaging ports on the phone system to the ports on the PIMG units in a planned manner to simplify troubleshooting. For example, the first phone system voice messaging port connects to the first port on the first PIMG unit, the second phone system voice messaging port connects to the second port on the first PIMG unit, and so on.

The PIMG units connected to the same LAN or WAN that Cisco Unity Connection is connected to.

If the PIMG units connect to a WAN, the requirements for the WAN network connections are:

For G.729a codec formatting, a minimum of 32.76 Kbps guaranteed bandwidth for each voice messaging port.

For G.711 codec formatting, a minimum of 91.56 Kbps guaranteed bandwidth for each voice messaging port.

No network devices that implement network address translation (NAT).

A maximum 200 ms one-way network latency.

The phone system ready for the integration, as described in the documentation for the phone system.

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.

Programming the Avaya Definity ProLogix PIMG Phone System for Integrating with Cisco Unity Connection

The following programming instructions are provided as an example only. The specific programming for your phone system may vary depending on its configuration.


Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity Connection that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Send MWI Requests, do not send calls to it.

To Program the Avaya Definity ProLogix Phone System


Step 1 Create a coverage path which contains the PIMG unit hunt group number as the coverage point.

Step 2 Assign the coverage path that you created in Step 1 to the user stations that must forward to the voice messaging ports on the PIMG units when calls are not answered or when the user station is busy, based on one of the Cisco Unity Connection call transfer types shown in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1 Call Transfer Types 

Transfer Type
Usage

Release transfer

(blind transfer)

Program the user station to forward calls to the pilot number when:

The extension is busy.

The call is not answered.

Supervised transfer

Program the user station to forward calls to the pilot number only when the call is not answered (on the phone system, the number of rings before forwarding must be more than the number of rings to supervise the call). Confirm that call forwarding is disabled when the extension is busy.


Step 3 Use the Add Station <extension number> command (for example, Add Station 2999) to assign an extension number for each voice messaging port, which is a digital line that connects to the PIMG unit. Set the voice messaging port options (Table 4-2) and button assignments (Table 4-3), and press Enter.


Note We recommend that you distribute the voice messaging ports among multiple phone system line cards so that call processing can continue even if a line card becomes inactive.


Table 4-2 Voice Messaging Port Options for All Lines 

Option
Setting

Extension

Enter the extension number of the digital line.

Type

Enter 7434ND (recommended).

You can also use the following settings. However, you must include the extension with each subscriber name when programming the phone system (for example, "3001 Jane Doe"). Otherwise, the integration will not function correctly.

8434

8434D

8434DX

Note If the setting that you want is not available, contact the phone system manufacturer.
