Requirements
The Avaya Definity/PBXLink integration supports configurations of the following components:
Phone System
•An Avaya Definity phone system with one or two digital lines connected to the PBX ports on the PBXLink box. The line or lines must be compatible with the 7434D or 8434D digital phones. If vectoring will be used and depending on the phone system, the line or lines may require compatibility with only the 7434D digital phone.
•Bridged mode feature, enabled.
•For each voice messaging port, one analog port connected to the voice cards in the Cisco Unity server.
•The SMDI port in the PBXLink box connected to a serial port (COM1 is the default) on the Cisco Unity server with an RS-232 serial cable. If multiple PBXLink boxes are installed, the SMDI port of the last PBXLink box is connected to the Management port of the first PBXLink box with an RS-232 serial cable. The SMDI port of the first PBXLink box is connected to a serial port (COM1 is the default) on the Cisco Unity server with another RS-232 serial cable. Make sure that the serial protocol parameters for the Management port of the first PBXLink box are set to the same values as the SMDI port.
We recommend that the serial cable have the following construction:
–A maximum of 50 feet (15.24 m) in length
–24 AWG stranded conductors
–Low capacitance—for example, no more than 12 pF/ft (39.4 pF/m) between conductors
–At least 65 percent braided shield over aluminized polymer sleeve around conductors
–UL-recognized overall cable jacket insulation with low dielectric constant
–Braided shield fully terminated to and enclosed by a metal connector backshell
–Gold-plated connector contacts
•The phone system ready for the integration as described in the installation guide for the phone system.
Cisco Unity Server
•The applicable voice cards, installed. For details, refer to the "Supported Circuit-Switched Phone System Integrations" section in your version of Cisco Unity System Requirements at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
•Cisco Unity installed and ready for the integration, as described in the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
•A license that enables the applicable number of voice messaging ports.
•An available serial port (COM1 is the default).
Integration Description
The Avaya Definity/PBXLink integration uses one or more PBXLink boxes, with each box emulating up to two Avaya 7434D or 8434D digital phones. The PBXLink is connected to the phone system with digital phone lines and connected to the Cisco Unity server with an RS-232 serial cable. The voice messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the Cisco Unity server.
This integration requires that bridged mode be used.
The PBXLink box receives the following call information from the phone system:
•The extension of the called party
•The extension of the calling party (for internal calls) or the phone number of the calling party (if it is an external call and the system uses caller ID)
•The reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set to forward all calls)
The PBXLink box formats this information as a Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) packet and sends the packet to Cisco Unity through the RS-232 serial cable.
Cisco Unity uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example, a call forwarded to Cisco Unity is answered with the personal greeting of the subscriber. If the phone system routes the call to Cisco Unity without this information, Cisco Unity answers with the opening greeting.
Cisco Unity also activates or deactivates messaging waiting indicators (MWIs) through the analog voice messaging ports rather than through the serial data link as in other serial integrations. As a result, it is necessary to set some voice messaging ports for handling MWIs as described in the "Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity" section, and to enter the MWI on and off codes as described in the "Creating a New Integration with the Avaya Definity/PBXLink Phone System" section.
For additional information on the PBXLink box, refer to the PBXLink documentation, which is available from the manufacturer.
Configuration for 24 or Fewer Ports
Avaya Definity/PBXLink integrations with 24 or fewer ports can use the following configuration (others are possible):
•(Recommended) A single PBXLink-24 box with Port A set for calls only.
Configuration for 25 to 48 Ports
Avaya Definity/PBXLink integrations with 25 to 48 ports can use one of the following configurations (others are possible):
•(Recommended) A single PBXLink-48 box with Ports A and B set for calls only.
•Two PBXLink-24 boxes with Port A of both set for calls only.
Configuration for 49 to 72 Ports
Avaya Definity/PBXLink integrations with 49 to 72 ports can use one of the following configurations (others are possible):
•(Recommended) One PBXLink-24 box with Port A set for calls only, and one PBXLink-48 box with Ports A and B set for calls only.
•Two PBXLink-48 boxes with Ports A and Port B of both set for calls only.
•Three PBXLink-24 boxes with Port A of all three set for calls only.
PBXLink Box Connections
A single PBXLink box is connected to the phone system with one or two digital phone lines and connected to the Cisco Unity server with an RS-232 serial cable. The voice messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the Cisco Unity server. Figure 1 shows the required connections.
Figure 1 Serial Connections Between a Single PBXLink Box and Cisco Unity
Multiple PBXLink boxes are connected to the Cisco Unity server by using an RS-232 cable to connect the SMDI port from the last PBXLink box to the Management port of the first PBXLink box. Another RS-232 cable is then used to connect the SMDI port of the first PBXLink box to the Cisco Unity server. The voice messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the Cisco Unity server. Figure 2 shows the required connections.
Figure 2 Serial Connections Between Multiple PBXLink Boxes and Cisco Unity
Integration Functionality
The Avaya Definity/PBXLink integration with Cisco Unity provides the following integration 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 identifies the subscriber based on the extension from which the call originated; a password may be required)
•Identified subscriber messaging (Cisco Unity 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
Depending on the version, Cisco Unity can be integrated with two or more phone systems:
•Cisco Unity 4.0 and 4.1 can be integrated with a maximum of two phone systems at one time. For information on and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity with two phone systems, refer to the Dual Phone System Integration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/integuid/multi/itmultin.htm.
•Cisco Unity 4.2 and later can be integrated with two or more phone systems at one time. For information on the maximum supported combinations and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity with multiple phone systems, refer to the Multiple Phone System Integration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/integuid/multi/multcu42.htm.
Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity
Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity. The following considerations will affect the programming for the phone system (for example, setting up the hunt group or call forwarding for the voice messaging ports):
•The number of voice messaging ports installed.
•The number of voice messaging ports that will answer calls.
•The number of voice messaging ports that will only dial out, for example, to send message notification, to set message waiting indicators (MWIs), to make AMIS deliveries, and to make telephone record and playback (TRAP) connections.
The following table describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity that can be set in UTIM, and that are displayed as read-only text on the System > Ports page of the Cisco Unity Administrator.
Table 1 Settings for the Voice Messaging Ports
Field
|
Considerations
|
Extension
|
Enter the extension for the port as assigned on the phone system.
|
Enabled
|
Check this check box to enable the port. The port is enabled during normal operation.
Uncheck this check box to disable the port. When the port is disabled, calls to the port get a ringing tone but are not answered. Typically, the port is disabled only by the installer during testing.
|
Answer Calls
|
Check this check box to designate the port for answering calls. These calls can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from subscribers.
|
Message Notification
|
Check this check box to designate the port for notifying subscribers of messages. Assign Message Notification to the least busy ports.
|
Dialout MWI
(not used by serial or SMDI integrations)
|
Check this check box to designate the port for turning MWIs on and off. Assign Dialout MWI to the least busy ports.
|
AMIS Delivery
(available with the AMIS licensed feature only)
|
Check this check box to designate the port for making outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. Cisco Unity supports the Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) protocol, which provides an analog mechanism for transferring voice messages between different voice messaging systems.
This setting affects outbound AMIS calls only. All ports are used for incoming AMIS calls.
Because the transmission of outgoing AMIS messages may tie up voice ports for long periods of time, you may want to adjust the schedule on the Network > AMIS > Schedule page so that outgoing AMIS calls are placed during closed hours or at times when Cisco Unity is not processing many calls.
|
TRAP Connection
|
Check this check box so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients. Assign TRAP Connection to the least busy ports.
|
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 will answer when call traffic is at its peak.
•The expected length of each message that callers will record and that subscribers will listen to.
•The number of subscribers.
•The number of ports that will be set to dial out only.
•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 AMIS delivery calls.
•The number of TRAP connections needed when call traffic is at its peak. (TRAP connections are used by Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients 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 subscribers. Typically, the voice messaging ports that answer calls are the busiest.
You can set voice messaging ports to both answer calls and to dial out (for example, to send message notifications). However, when the voice messaging ports perform more than one function and are very active (for example, answering many calls), the other functions may be delayed until the voice messaging port is free (for example, message notifications cannot be sent until there are fewer calls to answer). For best performance, dedicate certain voice messaging ports for only answering incoming calls, and dedicate other ports for only dialing out. Separating these port functions eliminates the possibility of a collision, in which an incoming call arrives on a port at the same time that Cisco Unity takes the port off-hook to dial out.
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Only Dial Out, and Not Answer Calls
Ports that will only dial out and will not answer calls can do one or more of the following:
•Notify subscribers by phone, pager, or e-mail of messages that have arrived.
•Turn MWIs on and off for subscriber extensions.
•Make outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. (This action is available only with the AMIS licensed feature.)
•Make a TRAP connection so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients.
Typically, these voice messaging ports are the least busy ports.
Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity 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 Dialout MWI, do not send calls to it.
Preparing for Programming the Phone System
Record your decisions about the voice messaging ports to guide you in programming the phone system.
Programming the Avaya Definity/PBXLink Phone System
If you use programming options other than those supplied in the following procedure, the performance of the integration may be affected.
Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity 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 Message Notification, do not send calls to it.
Make sure that the phone system sends calls only to Cisco Unity voice ports that are set to Answer Calls on the System > Ports page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. Calls sent to a voice port not set to Answer Calls cannot be answered by Cisco Unity and may cause other problems.
Do the following procedures as applicable.
To Program the Phone System
Step 1 Use the Add Station <extension number> command (for example, Add Station 2001) to assign an extension number for each voice messaging port. Set the following options and press Enter.
The options available may vary depending on the software version of your phone system.

After programming the phone system, it is necessary to set up the direct lines for users on the phone system.
To Set Up User Phones
Step 1 Use the Change Station (extension number) command to display the Station screen for each extension.
Step 2 In the Name field, enter the user's name and extension. The PBXLink box can display only the first 16 characters, and the extension must appear in these 16 characters.
Step 3 In the Coverage Path field, enter 1.
Note You can use alternate extensions to create multiple line appearances, enable easy message access from cell phones, and simplify addressing messages to subscribers at different locations in Cisco Unity. Enabling alternate MWIs lets Cisco Unity turn MWIs on at more than one extension. For details, see the "Appendix: Using Alternate Extensions and MWIs" section.
Setting Up the PBXLink Box

Integrating a Secondary Server for Cisco Unity Failover
The Cisco Unity failover feature enables a secondary server to provide voice messaging services when the primary server becomes inactive. For information on installing a secondary server for failover, refer to the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
For information on failover, refer to the Cisco Unity Failover Configuration and Administration Guide. The Domino version of the guide is available at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/fail/fail401/dom/index.htm. The Exchange version of the guide is available at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/fail/fail401/ex/index.htm.
Requirements
The following components are required to integrate a secondary server:
Phone System
•A data splitter unit to split the single serial cable from the first PBXLink box (which connects to the Cisco Unity servers) into two serial cables.
•Two additional RS-232 serial cables (to be used with the serial cable that was connected from the PBXLink box directly to the primary server when it was integrated with the phone system). With these three serial cables, connect one serial cable from the SMDI port in the first PBXLink box to the data splitter unit; connect the second serial cable from the data splitter unit to the serial port on the primary server; and connect the third serial cable from the data splitter unit to the serial port on the secondary server.
Cisco Unity Server
•One secondary server for each primary server installed and ready for the integration, as described in the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide and earlier in this integration guide.
•The applicable cable configuration for each analog voice messaging port to simultaneously connect the phone system to the corresponding ports on both the primary and the secondary servers. For example, connect port 1 on the phone system with both port 1 on the primary server and port 1 on the secondary server.
•A license that enables failover.
Integration Description
The phone system uses PBXLink boxes to send call information to the primary and secondary servers. The analog voice messaging lines from the phone system provide voice connectivity to the primary and secondary servers. Figure 3 shows the required connections.
Figure 3 Connections Between the Phone System and Cisco Unity Servers
The primary and secondary servers act in the following manner:
•When the primary server is operating normally, the secondary server is inactive.
•When the primary server becomes inactive, the secondary server becomes active.
•When the primary server becomes active again, the secondary server becomes inactive.
Setting Up the Secondary Server for Failover
Do the following procedure to integrate the secondary server.
To Set Up the Secondary Server for Failover
Step 1 Install a secondary server with the same configuration as the primary server. For installation instructions, refer to the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide.
Step 2 Make all voice connections from the phone system to the corresponding ports on both the primary server and the secondary server. For example, connect port 1 from the phone system with port 1 on both the primary and the secondary servers.
Step 3 Connect one serial cable from the SMDI port in the first PBXLink box to the data splitter unit.
Step 4 Connect the remaining two serial cables to the two serial ports on the data splitter unit. Then connect one serial cable to the serial port on the primary server and the other serial cable to the serial port on the secondary server.

Appendix: Using Alternate Extensions and MWIs
Alternate Extensions
In addition to the "primary" extension that you specify for subscribers, you can assign subscribers up to nine alternate extensions. (The primary extension is the one that you assign to each subscriber when you create his or her subscriber account; it is listed on the Subscribers > Subscribers > Profile page.)
Reasons to Use Alternate Extensions
There are several reasons that you may want to specify alternate extensions for subscribers. For example, if you have more than one Cisco Unity server that accesses a single, corporate-wide directory, you may want to use alternate extensions to simplify addressing messages to subscribers at the different locations. With alternate extensions, the number that a subscriber uses when addressing a message to someone at another location can be the same number that the subscriber dials when calling. You may also want to use alternate extensions to:
•Handle multiple line appearances on subscriber phones.
•Offer easy message access on direct calls from a cell phone, home phone, or phone at an alternate work site (assuming that the phone number is passed along to Cisco Unity from these other phone systems). In addition, when such phones are used as alternate extensions, and are set to forward to Cisco Unity, callers can listen to the subscriber greeting, and leave messages for the subscriber just as they would when dialing the primary extension for the subscriber.
Tip To reduce the number of requests from subscribers who want alternate extensions set up for multiple cell phones, home phones, and other phones, give subscribers class of service (COS) rights to specify their own set of alternate extensions. (See the Subscribers > Class of Service > Profile page.) With proper COS rights, a subscriber can specify up to five alternate extensions in the Cisco Unity Assistant—in addition to the nine that you can specify on the Subscribers > Alternate Extensions page in the Cisco Unity Administrator.
•Enable URL-based extensions in Cisco Unity for an integration with a SIP phone system.
How Alternate Extensions Work
Before you set up alternate extensions, review the following list for information on how alternate extensions work:
•Alternate extensions cannot exceed 30 characters in length. By default, each administrator-defined alternate extension must be at least 3 characters in length, while subscriber-defined alternate extensions must be at least 10 characters.
You can use the Advanced Settings tool in Tools Depot to specify a minimum extension length for the extensions entered in the Cisco Unity Administrator and the Cisco Unity Assistant. Refer to the Advanced Settings Tool Help for details on using the settings. Respectively, the settings are Administration—Set the Minimum Length for Locations, and Administration—Set the Minimum Length for Subscriber-Defined Alternate Extensions.
•You can control whether subscribers can use the Cisco Unity Assistant to view the alternate extensions that you specify in the Cisco Unity Administrator. To do so, see the Subscribers > Class of Service > Profile page. The Subscriber-Defined Alternate Extension table displays the alternate extensions that the subscriber adds.
•Neither the Cisco Unity Administrator nor the Cisco Unity Assistant will accept an extension that is already assigned to another subscriber (either as a primary or alternate extension), or to a public distribution list, call handler, directory handler, or interview handler. Cisco Unity verifies that each alternate extension is unique—up to the dialing domain level, if applicable—before allowing either an administrator or a subscriber to create it.
•All alternate extensions use the same transfer settings as the primary extension.
•In many cases, Cisco Unity can activate a message waiting indicator (MWI) for an alternate extension. However, depending on the phones and phone systems involved, some additional phone system programming may be required to set this up.
Setting Up Alternate Extensions
Do the applicable procedure to add, modify, or delete alternate extensions:
•To Add Administrator-Defined Alternate Extensions
•To Modify or Delete Alternate Extension(s)
To Add Administrator-Defined Alternate Extensions
Step 1 In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to any Subscribers > Alternate Extensions page.
Step 2 In the Administrator-Defined Alternate Extensions table, enter an extension in any row. When entering characters in the Alternate Extensions table, consider the following:
•You can enter an extension up to 30 characters in length. (SIP integrations can use up to 30 alphanumeric characters.)
•Each extension must be unique—up to the dialing domain level, if applicable.
•Enter digits 0 through 9. Do not use spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
•For SIP integrations, you can also enter a valid alias for a SIP URL. For example, if the URL is SIP:aabade@cisco.com, enter aabade. Do not use spaces.
•Rows are numbered as a convenience. You can enter alternate extensions in any order, and you can have blank rows.
Step 3 Repeat Step 2 as necessary.
Step 4 Click the Save icon. Alternate extensions are enabled for all rows in the table.
To Modify or Delete Alternate Extension(s)
Step 1 In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to any Subscribers > Alternate Extensions page.
Step 2 Do any of the following:
•To modify an extension, change the extension in the Alternate Extensions table.
•To delete extensions, check the check boxes next to the alternate extensions that you want to delete.
•To remove all alternate extensions listed in the table, click Select All.
Step 3 Click the Save icon.
Step 4 Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 as necessary.
Note You can run the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard when you want to add alternate extensions for multiple subscribers at once. When you do, the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard appends the new alternate extensions to the existing table of alternate extensions, beginning with the first blank row.
Alternate MWIs
You can set up Cisco Unity to activate alternate MWIs when you want a new message for a subscriber to activate the MWIs at up to 10 extensions. For example, a message left at extension 1001 can activate the MWIs on extensions 1001 and 1002.
Cisco Unity uses MWIs to alert the subscriber to new voice messages. MWIs are not used to indicate new e-mail, fax, or return receipt messages.
Setting Up Alternate MWIs
Cisco Unity can activate alternate MWIs. Note that depending on the phones and phone systems, some additional phone system programming may be necessary. Refer to the installation guide for the phone system.
To enable alternate MWIs for extensions, do the following procedure for each subscriber who needs alternate MWIs.
To Set Up Alternate MWIs for Extensions
Step 1 In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the applicable Subscribers > Subscribers > Messages page.
Step 2 Confirm that the Use MWI for Message Notification check box is checked.
Step 3 Click the Add button located beneath the MWI Extensions table to add a row to the table. By default, the first row in the table contains an "X" to indicate the primary extension assigned to a subscriber. If you want one more extension and do not need to activate the MWI on the primary extension, you can also modify the first row.
Step 4 Enter the applicable extension in the Extension field of the table. MWIs are automatically enabled for all rows in the table. When entering characters in the MWI Extensions table, consider the following:
•Enter digits 0 through 9. Do not use spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
•Enter , (comma) to insert a one-second pause.
•Enter # and * to correspond to the # and * keys on the phone.
Step 5 Click the Save icon.
Step 6 Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 as necessary.
Note You can run the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard when you want to set up alternate MWIs for multiple subscribers at once.
To change or delete alternate MWIs for extensions, do the following procedure.
To Modify or Delete Alternate MWIs
Step 1 In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the applicable Subscribers > Subscribers > Messages page.
Step 2 Do either of the following:
•To modify an extension, change the extension in the MWI Extensions table.
•To delete extensions, check the check boxes next to the rows that you want to delete in the MWI Extensions table, and then click the Delete button.
Step 3 Click the Save icon.
Step 4 Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 as necessary.

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:
http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt
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.

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: 1 800 553-2447
For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts
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.
