Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express 4.1 SCCP Integration Guide for Cisco Unity 4.0
Published March 21, 2007
This document provides instructions for integrating Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CM) Express (formerly known as Cisco Unified CallManager Express) with Cisco Unity by Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP).
Cisco Unity supports an SCCP integration when Cisco Unified CM Express has only SCCP phones or has both SCCP and SIP phones.
Note 
Cisco Unity failover is not available with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express integration.
AMIS Networking and call loop detection will not function when Cisco Unity is integrated with Cisco Unified CM Express.
The G.729a codec is not supported.
Cisco Unity 4.0(5) and later can integrate with Cisco Unified CM Express in SRST mode. This integration requires Cisco Unity-CM TSP 8.1(3) or later. For details, see the Integrating Cisco Unity with Cisco Unified CME-as-SRST application note at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps4625/prod_troubleshooting_guides_list.html.

Integration Description
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express integration uses the LAN to connect Cisco Unity and the phone system. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express also provides connections to the PSTN. Figure 1 shows the connections for a system with a single Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router.
Figure 1 Connections Between a Single Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Router and Cisco Unity
Figure 2 shows the connections for a system with multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers and a single Cisco Unity server. One Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router acts as the SIP MWI server, and the remaining Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers act as SIP MWI clients. Note that Cisco Unity voice messaging ports register with only the SIP MWI server (the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router that is on the same LAN as the Cisco Unity server), not with the SIP MWI clients.

Call Information
The phone system sends the following information with forwarded calls:
•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)
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.
When forwarding calls to greetings, Cisco Unity uses the original redirected number, not the last redirected number. For example, when A calls B and forwards the call to C whose phone forwards to voice mail, the call will go to the voice mailbox for B.
Integration Functionality
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express 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)
These integration features are not available to analog phones connected through FXS ports on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express phone system. Analog phones connected to ATA, however, support all integration features, except MWIs (MWI lamps will not light, though the stutter dial tone will sound).
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/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_configuration_guide09186a0080211b2e.html.
•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/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_configuration_guide09186a00806192a3.html.
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 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.
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 Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Phone System
After the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router is installed, do the procedures in the applicable section depending on the number of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers you will integrate with the Cisco Unity server:
•Single Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router—see the "Programming a Single Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Router to Integrate with a Single Cisco Unity Server" section
•Multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers—see the "Programming Multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Routers to Integrate with a Single Cisco Unity Server" section
Programming a Single Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Router to Integrate with a Single Cisco Unity Server
Note Do the procedures in this section only if you are integrating a single Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router with a single Cisco Unity server. If you are integrating multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers, see the "Programming Multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Routers to Integrate with a Single Cisco Unity Server" section.
To Configure the Message Button Access to Cisco Unity
This procedure configures the Message button on Cisco IP phones to dial the Cisco Unity pilot number when pressed.
Step 1 On the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router, go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:
telephony-service
Step 2 Enter the following command:
voicemail <Cisco Unity pilot number>
Step 3 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
The following is an example of the configuration:
To Configure the Router for Cisco Unity
Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory number tag for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:
ephone-dn <DN tag>
Step 2 To set the extension number for the voice messaging port, enter the following command:
number <Voice messaging port extension>
Note The voice message port extension must be the Cisco Unity pilot number (configured by the "voicemail" command in the preceding procedure) for all ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages. Use an extension that cannot be dialed for all ports that are used to set MWIs by Cisco Unity (for example, use "A01").
Step 3 To set the user name for the port (for example, "Voice Port 1" or "MWI Only"), enter the following command:
name <User name of voice messaging port>
Step 4 To disable huntstop, enter the following command:
no huntstop
Step 5 To set the dial-peer preference for the extension, enter the following command:
preference <Preference order>
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for all remaining ports.
Note The number of voice messaging ports set up to connect to Cisco Unity must be the same as the number of directory number tags for the Cisco IP phone lines set up by the ephone-dn configuration mode.
Step 7 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
The following is an example of the configuration:
name "Voice Messaging Port 1"
name "Voice Messaging Port 2"
name "Voice Messaging Port 3"
In this example, there are four ephone-dns configured to provide four voice messaging ports. Three of the ephone-dns are configured with the same extension number to provide ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages. The fourth ephone-dn is provided for use as an MWI-only port. The first three ephone-dns are configured with the same extension number (4001), using preferences 0, 1, and 2 to create a hunt group. If the first port is busy, the call goes to the second port, and so on. Port 4 is configured with the extension number A01 and is used to set MWIs by Cisco Unity. Separate ports are required for answering calls and setting MWIs in order to prevent call-collision problems between incoming calls placed by Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express to Cisco Unity, and MWI calls that Cisco Unity places in the opposite direction.
To Associate the Voice Messaging Port Device
To associate the actual voice messaging port device (vm-device-id) to the phone number, associate the Cisco IP phone with the voice messaging port device.
The vm-device-id name uses the following format:
<Cisco Unity device name prefix><Port number>
The default vm-device-id name is CiscoUM-VI1. The vm-device-id name must match the Cisco Unity voice messaging port name you will use to identify the port in the Cisco Unity Telephony Integration Manager (UTIM) when you create the integration:
•The Cisco Unity device name prefix part (for example, CiscoUM-VI) must match the Device Name Prefix field in UTIM.
•The port number part (for example, "1") must match the number part of the Cisco Unity voice messaging port name used to identify the port in UTIM.
To associate a voice mail device to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router, do the following steps, beginning in ephone configuration mode.
Step 1 Go into the ephone configuration mode and register the Cisco IP phones by entering the following command:
ephone <DN tag>
Step 2 Define the voice messaging port device name, by entering the following command:
vm-device-id <Cisco Unity device name prefix><Port number>
For example, if the Cisco Unity device name prefix is CiscoUM-VI, enter CiscoUM-VI1 for the first port and CiscoUM-VI2 for the second port, and so on.
Note The vm-device-id name used by Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express must be the same as the voice messaging port name used by Cisco Unity. Otherwise, the integration will not work.
Step 3 Assign buttons to the Cisco IP phone directory numbers created in the "To Configure the Router for Cisco Unity" procedure by entering the following command:
button <Button number>:<DN tag>
For example, you can use the values 1:1, 2:4, or 3:14. In this example, button 1 corresponds to directory number 1 (ephone-dn 1), button 2 corresponds to directory number 4, and button 3 corresponds to directory number 14. The buttons correspond to the phone lines on the Cisco IP phone.
Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for all remaining voice messaging port device names.
Note The number of voice messaging port device names configured with the vm-device-id command must be the same as the number of Cisco IP phones registered by the ephone configuration mode.
Step 5 To exit the ephone configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Following is an example of the configuration. In this example, the vm-device-id command is used within the ephone configuration in place of the mac-address parameter that is used for configuring a regular Cisco IP phone.
To Configure a Directory Number for MWI Notification
MWI configuration on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express is performed by dedicating Cisco IP phone directory numbers (ephone-DNs) to process MWI status notification calls originating from Cisco Unity. You must allocate a minimum of one MWI processing ephone-dn for each MWI ephone-dn voice messaging port. The MWI processing ephone-dn extensions are configured to match the MWI extensions configured on Cisco Unity.
Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:
ephone-dn <DN tag>
Step 2 Configure two valid directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone to be used for MWIs—the first number will turn MWIs on, and the second number will turn MWIs off—by entering the following command:
number <MWI on number> secondary <MWI off number>
Note The MWI on and off numbers must match the settings of the MWI On Extension and MWI Off Extension fields you enter in UTIM when you create the integration.
Step 3 Configure these two directory numbers to be used for setting MWIs by entering the following command:
mwi on-off
Step 4 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Following is an example of the configuration.
number 8000 secondary 8001
In this example, Cisco Unity calls extensions 8000 and 8001 to turn MWIs on and off. The DN triggers an MWI ON event when 8000 is called, and an MWI OFF event when 8001 is called.
For extensions associated with analog telephone adaptors (ATAs), the MWI is a lit function button on the ATA and a stutter dial tone on the connected analog phone.
Note After completing the procedures in this section, continue with the "Creating a New Integration with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Phone System (SCCP)" section.
Programming Multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Routers to Integrate with a Single Cisco Unity Server
A single, centralized Cisco Unity server can be used by multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers. This configuration requires that one Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router be on the same LAN as the Cisco Unity server, and that this Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router register all Cisco Unity voice messaging ports. This Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router (the SIP MWI server) is a proxy server that relays SIP MWI messages between the Cisco Unity and all other Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers (the SIP MWI clients). Note that Cisco Unity voice messaging ports register with only the SIP MWI server (the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router that is on the same LAN as the Cisco Unity server), not with the SIP MWI clients.
Do the procedures in this section only if you are integrating multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers with a single Cisco Unity server.
To Configure the Message Button Access to Cisco Unity
Step 1 On the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router, go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:
telephony-service
Step 2 Enter the following command:
voicemail <Cisco Unity pilot number>
Step 3 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
The following is an example of the configuration:
To Configure the Router for Cisco Unity
Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory number tag for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:
ephone-dn <DN tag>
Step 2 To set the extension number for the voice messaging port, enter the following command:
number <Voice messaging port extension>
Note The voice message port extension must be the Cisco Unity pilot number (configured by the "voicemail" command in the preceding procedure) for all ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages. Use an extension that cannot be dialed for all ports that are used to set MWIs by Cisco Unity (for example, use "A01").
Step 3 To set the user name for the port (for example, "Voice Port 1" or "MWI Only"), enter the following command:
name <User name of voice messaging port>
Step 4 To disable huntstop, enter the following command:
no huntstop
Step 5 To set the dial-peer preference for the extension, enter the following command:
preference <Preference order>
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for all remaining ports.
Note The number of voice messaging ports set up to connect to Cisco Unity must be the same as the number of directory number tags for the Cisco IP phone lines set up by the ephone-dn configuration mode.
Step 7 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
The following is an example of the configuration:
name "Voice Messaging Port 1"
name "Voice Messaging Port 2"
name "Voice Messaging Port 3"
In this example, there are four ephone-dns configured to provide four voice messaging ports. Three of the ephone-dns are configured with the same extension number to provide ports dedicated for leaving and retrieving voice messages. The fourth ephone-dn is provided for use as an MWI-only port. The first three ephone-dns are configured with the same extension number (4001), using preferences 0, 1, and 2 to create a hunt group. If the first port is busy, the call goes to the second port, and so on. Port 4 is configured with the extension number A01 and is used to set MWIs by Cisco Unity. Separate ports are required for answering calls and setting MWIs in order to prevent call-collision problems between incoming calls placed by Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express to Cisco Unity, and MWI calls that Cisco Unity places in the opposite direction.
To Associate the Voice Messaging Port Device
To associate the actual voice messaging port device (vm-device-id) to the phone number, associate the Cisco IP phone with the voice messaging port device.
The vm-device-id name uses the following format:
<Cisco Unity device name prefix><Port number>
The default vm-device-id name is CiscoUM-VI1. The vm-device-id name must match the Cisco Unity voice messaging port name you will use to identify the port in the Cisco Unity Telephony Integration Manager (UTIM) when you create the integration:
•The Cisco Unity device name prefix part (for example, CiscoUM-VI) must match the Device Name Prefix field in UTIM.
•The port number part (for example, "1") must match the number part of the Cisco Unity voice messaging port name used to identify the port in UTIM.
To associate a voice mail device with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router, do the following steps, beginning in ephone configuration mode.
Step 1 Go into the ephone configuration mode and register the Cisco IP phones by entering the following command:
ephone <DN tag>
Step 2 Define the voice messaging port device name, by entering the following command:
vm-device-id <Cisco Unity device name prefix><Port number>
For example, if the Cisco Unity device name prefix is CiscoUM-VI, enter CiscoUM-VI1 for the first port and CiscoUM-VI2 for the second port, and so on.
Note The vm-device-id name used by Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express must be the same as the voice messaging port name used by Cisco Unity. Otherwise, the integration will not work.
Step 3 Assign buttons to the Cisco IP phone directory numbers created in the "To Configure the Router for Cisco Unity" procedure by entering the following command:
button <Button number>:<DN tag>
For example, you can use the values 1:1, 2:4, or 3:14. In this example, button 1 corresponds to directory number 1 (ephone-dn 1), button 2 corresponds to directory number 4, and button 3 corresponds to directory number 14. The buttons correspond to the phone lines on the Cisco IP phone.
Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for all remaining voice messaging port device names.
Note The number of voice messaging port device names configured with the vm-device-id command must be the same as the number of Cisco IP phones registered by the ephone configuration mode.
Step 5 To exit the ephone configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Following is an example of the configuration. In this example, the vm-device-id command is used within the ephone configuration in place of the mac-address parameter that is used for configuring a regular Cisco IP phone.
To Configure the SIP MWI Server
Step 1 Go into the SIP user-agent configuration mode by entering the following command:
sip-ua
Step 2 Configure the IP address (or DNS name) and port for the SIP MWI server by entering the following command:
mwi-server {ipv4:<MWI server IP address> | dns:<MWI server host-name} [expires <Seconds>]
[port <Port number>] [transport {tcp | udp}] [unsolicited]
The SIP MWI server must be in the same LAN as Cisco Unity. This IP address is used in conjunction with the "mwi sip" command in ephone-dn configuration mode to subscribe individual ephone-dn extension numbers to the MWI server notification list. The SIP MWI client runs TCP by default.
This command uses the following keywords:
•ipv4:—Sets the IP address of the SIP MWI server.
•dns:—Sets the DNS name of the SIP MWI server.
•expires—(optional) Subscription expiration time, in seconds. The range is 1 to 999999. The default is 3600.
•transport tcp—The default setting.
•transport udp—Allows you to integrate with the SIP MWI client.
•port—Used to specify the TCP port for the SIP MWI server. The default SIP port number is 5060.
•unsolicited—Allows sending SIP NOTIFY for MWIs without the need to send a SUBSCRIBE from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router.
Step 3 To exit the SIP user-agent configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Step 4 Go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:
telephony-service
Step 5 If you want to keep the default registration with an extension number, continue to Step 6. If you want to register with an E.164 10-digit number, enter the following command:
mwi reg-e164
Step 6 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Step 7 Continue to the next procedure.
To Configure MWIs for Each Directory Number
Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:
ephone-dn <DN tag>
Step 2 Configure a valid directory number for the Cisco IP phone that receives the MWI notification by entering the following command:
number <Directory number>
Step 3 Configure the user name of MWI for the directory number that receives MWI notification by entering the following command:
name MWI
Step 4 Subscribe the extension in a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express to receive MWIs from a SIP MWI server by entering the following command:
mwi sip
This command integrates the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express with the MWI service based on SIP protocol.
Note The "mwi sip-server" command under telephony-service configuration mode or the "mwi-server" command under SIP user-agent configuration mode must be set before enabling the "mwi sip" command in ephone configuration mode.
Step 5 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
To Configure a Directory Number for MWI Notification
MWI configuration on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express is performed by dedicating Cisco IP phone directory numbers (ephone-DNs) to process MWI status notification calls originating from Cisco Unity. You must allocate a minimum of one MWI processing ephone-dn for each MWI ephone-dn voice messaging port. The MWI processing ephone-dn extensions are configured to match the MWI extensions configured on Cisco Unity.
Step 1 Go into the ephone-dn configuration mode and configure the directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone lines by entering the following command:
ephone-dn <DN tag>
Step 2 Configure two valid directory numbers for the Cisco IP phone to be used for MWIs—the first number will turn MWIs on, and the second number will turn MWIs off—by entering the following command:
number <MWI on number> secondary <MWI off number>
Note The MWI on and off numbers must match the settings of the MWI On Extension and MWI Off Extension fields you enter in UTIM when you create the integration on Cisco Unity.
Step 3 Configure these two directory numbers to be used for setting MWIs by entering the following command:
mwi on-off
Step 4 To exit the ephone-dn configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Following is an example of the configuration.
number 8000 secondary 8001
In this example, Cisco Unity calls extensions 8000 and 8001 to turn MWIs on and off. The DN triggers an MWI ON event when 8000 is called, and an MWI OFF event when 8001 is called.
To Configure MWI Relay
MWI relay is required when Cisco Unity is integrated with multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers use the SIP subscriber and notifier mechanism for MWI relay. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router that is the SIP MWI relay server acts as the SIP notifier. The other Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers (the SIP MWI clients) act as the SIP subscribers.
Step 1 Go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:
telephony-service
Step 2 Enable the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router to relay MWI information to Cisco IP phones on other Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers by entering the following command:
mwi relay
Step 3 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Step 4 Go into the SIP user-agent configuration mode by entering the following command:
sip-ua
Step 5 Configure the IP address (or DNS name) and port for the SIP MWI server by entering the following command:
mwi-server {ipv4:<MWI server IP address> | dns:<MWI server host-name} [expires <Seconds>]
[port <Port number>] [transport {tcp | udp}] [unsolicited]
The SIP MWI server must be in the same LAN as Cisco Unity. This IP address is used in conjunction with the "mwi sip" command in ephone-dn configuration mode to subscribe individual ephone-dn extension numbers to the MWI server notification list. The SIP MWI client runs TCP by default.
This command uses the following keywords:
•ipv4:—Sets the IP address of the SIP MWI server.
•dns:—Sets the DNS name of the SIP MWI server.
•expires—(optional) Subscription expiration time, in seconds. The range is 1 to 999999. The default is 3600.
•transport tcp—The default setting.
•transport udp—Allows you to integrate with the SIP MWI client.
•port—Used to specify the TCP port for the SIP MWI server. The default SIP port number is 5060.
•unsolicited—Allows sending SIP NOTIFY for MWIs without the need to send a SUBSCRIBE from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router.
Step 6 To exit the SIP user-agent configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Step 7 Go into the telephony-service configuration mode by entering the following command:
telephony-service
Step 8 If you want to keep the default registration with an extension number, continue to Step 9. If you want to register with an E.164 10-digit number, enter the following command:
mwi reg-e164
Step 9 To exit the telephony-service configuration mode, enter the following command:
exit
Step 10 Continue to the next procedure.
To Enable DTMF Relay
In certain situations, DTMF digits are not recognized when processed through VoIP dial-peer gateways. To avoid this problem, certain gateways must be configured to enable DTMF relay. The DTMF relay feature is available in Cisco IOS software version 12.0(5) and later.
Cisco IOS software-based gateways that use H.245 out-of-band signaling (but not the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers with which Cisco Unity is integrated) must be configured to enable DTMF relay.
The Catalyst 6000 T1/PRI and FXS gateways enable DTMF relay by default and do not need additional configuration to enable this feature.
Step 1 On a VoIP dial-peer that points to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express router integrated with Cisco Unity (the dial-peer must have a session target of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express server, not Cisco Unity), enter the following command:
dtmf-relay h245-signal
Step 2 Create a destination pattern that matches the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express voice mail port numbers. For example, if the system has voice mail 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 that point to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express routers integrated with Cisco Unity.
Creating a New Integration with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Phone System (SCCP)

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.
Step 2 On the Status 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 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 and that you hear the greeting for the test subscriber. Hearing the greeting means that the phone system forwarded the unanswered call and the call-forward information to Cisco Unity, which correctly interpreted the information.
Step 7 On the Status Monitor, note which port handles this call.
Step 8 Leave a message for the test subscriber and hang up Phone 2.
Step 9 On the Status 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 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.
Step 2 When asked for your password, enter the default password. Hearing the request for your password means that the phone system sent the necessary call information to Cisco Unity, which correctly interpreted the information.
Step 3 Confirm that you hear the recorded voice name for the test subscriber (if you did not record a voice name for the test subscriber, you will hear the extension number for Phone 1). Hearing the voice name means that Cisco Unity correctly identified the subscriber by the extension.
Step 4 When asked whether you want to listen to your message, press 1.
Step 5 After listening to the message, press 3 to 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 are successfully integrated for turning off MWIs.

Step 7 If the integration you deleted used voice cards, remove the voice cards from the Cisco Unity 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.
