New and Changed Support

New and Changed Support—Release 4.0(1)

Exchange Is No Longer Supported on the Cisco Unity Server for Unified Messaging

When Cisco Unity with Exchange is configured as Unified Messaging, Exchange cannot be installed on the Cisco Unity server for Cisco Unity 4.0(x). You must either move Exchange users to other Exchange servers or, if there are no other Exchange servers, you must install Exchange on another server and move Exchange users to the new server.

(When Cisco Unity is configured as Voice Messaging, Exchange 5.5 is supported on a Cisco Unity 4.0 server only if you are upgrading from a previous version of Cisco Unity. Exchange 2000 is supported on the Cisco Unity server both for upgrades and for new installations in the Voice Messaging configuration.)

IBM Lotus Domino Message Store and Directory

Message Store—Cisco Unity 4.0(x) supports IBM Lotus Domino as a message store. For information on how subscribers access voice messages by using IBM Lotus Notes, see the "Cisco Unity with Domino: Lotus Notes with IBM Lotus Domino Unified Communications Services (DUCS) for Cisco Unity" section in the "New and Changed Functionality" section.

Directory—Cisco Unity with IBM Lotus Domino uses a specified Notes directory (or address book) for the following purposes:

•To import Notes user and group data when creating Cisco Unity subscribers and distribution lists.

•To store Cisco Unity location object data and a small subset of subscriber and distribution list data.

•To monitor for data from other Cisco Unity servers.

•To keep the Cisco Unity data in the directory in sync with the SQL database on the Cisco Unity server.

See the "Cisco Unity with Domino: New Cisco Unity Components" section for a brief description of the new Cisco Unity components that enable Cisco Unity to use Domino for message and directory storage.

Japanese Localized Version

The Japanese localized version of Cisco Unity is not supported in version 4.0(1).

Phone System Integrations Qualified for Use with Cisco Unity

The following phone system integrations have been qualified for use with Cisco Unity 4.0(x):

•Alcatel 4400

•Avaya Definity ProLogix

•Cisco CallManager 3.3(1) and later

•Cisco SIP Proxy Server

•Matra 6500

For the most current list of all supported phone system integrations—including integrations qualified since the release of Cisco Unity version 4.0(1)—refer to the "Supported Phone System Integrations" section in Cisco Unity 4.0 System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol Qualified for Use with Cisco Unity

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol uses public-key encryption to provide a secure connection between servers and clients, and uses digital certificates to authenticate servers or servers and clients. When subscribers log on to the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA), their credentials are sent across the network to Cisco Unity in clear text. The same is true when the Cisco Unity Administrator and the Status Monitor are configured to use the Anonymous authentication method (rather than the Integrated Windows authentication method). In addition, the information that subscribers enter on the pages of the Cisco Unity Administrator (regardless of which authentication method it uses) and the Cisco PCA is not encrypted.

For increased security, it is therefore recommended that you set up Cisco Unity to use the SSL protocol. Using the SSL protocol ensures that all subscriber credentials—as well as the information that a subscriber enters on any page in the Cisco Unity Administrator or Cisco PCA—are encrypted as the data is sent across the network.

For more information, refer to the "Setting Up Cisco Unity to Use SSL" chapter in the Cisco Unity Installation Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Voice Connector for Exchange Release 10.0(1) are available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

The Cisco Unity Voice Connector for Exchange is a networking component that enables messaging between:

•Cisco Unity servers that access separate directories (SMTP Networking).

•Cisco Unity servers and other voice messaging systems via AMIS, VPIM, or the Cisco Unity Bridge.

The Voice Connector version 10.0(1) is available on the Cisco Unity 4.0(1) DVD and CD 1.

VPIM-Compliant Voice Messaging Systems Qualified for Use with Cisco Unity with Exchange

Cisco Unity with Exchange supports Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM) version 2, which allows the exchange of voice, fax, and text messages with other VPIM-compliant voice messaging systems. (VPIM is not supported for use with Cisco Unity with IBM Lotus Domino.)

The following systems are supported for use with Cisco Unity 4.0(x):

•Mitel/Baypoint NuPoint Messenger (formerly known as Centigram Series 6)

•Nortel Meridian Mail with Meridian Mail Net Gateway

•Nortel CallPilot

For the most current list of all supported voice messaging systems—including systems qualified since the release of Cisco Unity version 4.0(1)—refer to the "Supported VPIM-Compliant Voice Messaging Systems" section in Cisco Unity 4.0 System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

For information on using VPIM in Cisco Unity, refer to the Networking in Cisco Unity Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_feature_guides_list.html.

New and Changed Functionality

New and Changed Functionality—Release 4.0(1)

Application Event Logging for Cisco Unity Events

You can now identify the Cisco Unity events in either the Event Log report or the Event Viewer as those events that begin with "CiscoUnity" (for example, "CiscoUnity_LogMgr"). In previous releases, the Cisco Unity events began with "Av."

Authentication Method for Cisco Unity Web Applications

By default, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is configured so that the Cisco Unity Administrator uses the Integrated Windows authentication method (formerly called NTLM or Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication) to authenticate the user name and password. If you prefer, you can configure IIS so that the Cisco Unity Administrator and the Status Monitor use the Anonymous authentication method instead. With Anonymous authentication, Cisco Unity authenticates the credentials that subscribers enter on the Cisco Unity Log On page. In contrast, Windows verifies user credentials when IIS is configured to use the Integrated Windows authentication method. For more information on how authentication works with the Cisco Unity Administrator and the Status Monitor and how to change it, refer to the "Setting Up Authentication for the Cisco Unity Administrator" chapter in the Cisco Unity Installation Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Unlike the Cisco Unity Administrator and the Status Monitor, the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) is configured to use the Anonymous authentication method by default. You cannot change the authentication method for the Cisco PCA. The Cisco PCA is a website that subscribers use to access the Cisco Unity Assistant and the Cisco Unity Inbox. In version 3.1(x) and earlier, the Cisco Unity Assistant was known as the ActiveAssistant, or AA; the Cisco Unity Inbox was known as the Visual Messaging Interface, or VMI.

The ActiveAssistant and VMI relied on the Integrated Windows authentication method, which meant that when subscribers logged on to an untrusted domain, subscribers were prompted to re-enter their credentials each time they wanted to use the phone as a recording and playback device for the Media Master. However, because the Cisco PCA uses the Anonymous authentication method, once subscribers log on to Cisco PCA, they do not need to re-enter their credentials to use the phone as a recording and playback device for the Media Master. As a result, you no longer have to configure each subscriber browser to prompt for a user name and password and/or establish trusts across domains as recommended in previous releases. For more information on how authentication works with the Cisco PCA, refer to the "Setting Up the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant" section in the "Setting Up Client Applications" chapter in the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Note For increased security with all Cisco Unity web applications, we recommend that you set up Cisco Unity to use SSL (see the "Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol Qualified for Use with Cisco Unity" section).

Note that the authentication method that is used with ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook did not change for the 4.0(1) version of ViewMail (ViewMail still uses Integrated Windows authentication), except that subscribers can now enter credentials when authentication fails (such as when subscriber computers are in a different domain than Cisco Unity).

Cisco Personal Communications Assistant

The Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) is a website that serves as a central access point to the Cisco Unity Assistant and the Cisco Unity Inbox. The Cisco PCA is not a licensed feature, nor are subscribers required to have class of service rights to access it. However, subscribers do require proper class of service rights to the Cisco Unity Assistant and the Cisco Unity Inbox. (See the "Cisco Unity Assistant" section and the "Cisco Unity with Exchange: Cisco Unity Inbox" section for more information.)

Any Cisco Unity subscriber can access the Cisco PCA at the URL http://<Cisco Unity server>/ciscopca. (Note that the URL is case sensitive.)

For this release, online Help for the Cisco PCA is not available on the Cisco Unity software discs. Instead, it will be available to download separately from the Cisco Software Center website at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-voice.shtml. Refer to the readme file posted with the Help files for download and installation instructions.

In version 3.1(x) and earlier, the Cisco Unity Assistant was known as the ActiveAssistant, or AA; the Cisco Unity Inbox was known as the Visual Messaging Interface, or VMI. Subscribers who use the following ActiveAssistant URLs will be automatically redirected to the Cisco PCA website:

•http://<Cisco Unity server>/web/aa

•http://<Cisco Unity server>/ActiveAssistant

Likewise, subscribers who use the VMI URL http://<Cisco Unity server name>/web/vmi will also be automatically redirected to the Cisco PCA website.

See the "Authentication Method for Cisco Unity Web Applications" section for information on how Cisco PCA authentication works.

Cisco Unity Assistant

The Cisco Unity Assistant is a website that gives subscribers the ability to customize personal settings—including recorded greetings and message delivery options—on their computers. Subscribers use the Cisco PCA to access the Cisco Unity Assistant.

To access the Cisco Unity Assistant, subscribers must be given the proper class of service rights on the Subscribers > Class of Service > Features Page in the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Note that in version 3.1(x) and earlier, the Cisco Unity Assistant was known as the ActiveAssistant, or AA. Subscribers who use the following ActiveAssistant URLs will be automatically redirected to the Cisco PCA website (http://<Cisco Unity server name>/ciscopca):

•http://<Cisco Unity server>/web/aa

•http://<Cisco Unity server>/ActiveAssistant

Cisco Unity Bulk Import Wizard

There were two versions of the Import utility: one for Exchange 5.5 and one for Exchange 2000. Both versions of the utility are obsolete with the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard.

•External User Import Utility—In previous versions of Cisco Unity, this tool was used to create AMIS and Bridge subscriber accounts.

Cisco Unity-CM TSP Automatically Installed

Cisco Unity-CM TSP version 7.0(1) and later is automatically installed by the Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant in Cisco Unity version 4.0(x).

Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator

The Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator allows Cisco Unity system administrators to manage call handler greetings by using the Cisco Unity phone conversation. For example, the owner of a call handler can now call Cisco Unity from any site, and:

•Rerecord a call handler greeting.

•Enable or disable the alternate greeting for a call handler.

•Determine which greeting is currently active for a call handler.

In previous versions of Cisco Unity, administrators had to log on to the Cisco Unity Administrator to manage call handler greetings.

The RSA SecurID system is not available for callers who use the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator change call handler greetings over the phone.

Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant

The Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant is a utility to ease the setup of Cisco Unity software on a system that is not using Cisco Unity failover. Installers use the assistant to run five programs:

•Cisco Unity Setup program, which checks the system and installs the software.

•Cisco Unity Install License File wizard, which installs the Cisco Unity license files.

•Cisco Unity Services Configuration wizard, which configures the services.

•Cisco Unity Message Store Configuration wizard, which configures the message store.

•Cisco Unity Telephony Integration Manager, which integrates Cisco Unity with the phone system.

For information on how to use the assistant, refer to the "Installing and Configuring Cisco Unity Software" section in the "Installing and Configuring Cisco Unity Software" chapter of the Cisco Unity Installation Guide. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Cisco Unity Message Store Configuration Wizard

The Cisco Unity Message Store Configuration wizard is a program run during installations and upgrades to connect Cisco Unity with the message store.

Cisco Unity Permissions Wizard

The Cisco Unity Permissions wizard automatically sets most of the permissions required by the account used to install Cisco Unity and for the one or two accounts that own Cisco Unity services (depending on the message store). The Permissions wizard must be run before Cisco Unity can be installed.

For information on using the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard to set permissions, refer to the "Creating Accounts for the Installation and Setting Rights and Permissions" chapter of the Cisco Unity Installation Guide. For detailed information on the permissions set by the Permissions wizard, refer to the "Permissions Set by the Cisco Unity Permissions Wizard" appendix in the Cisco Unity Installation Guide. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Cisco Unity Port Licensing Model

Cisco has changed the way Cisco Unity licenses are sold. Licenses specify a maximum of 16 (for bundles), 32, or 72 ports. However, the maximum number of ports you can configure is the lower of the number specified by the license or the number of ports supported by the platform. For example, if the platform supports up to 48 ports and you have a 72-port license, you have the option to configure up to 48 ports. Whereas, if the platform supports up to 48 ports and you have a 32-port license, you have the option to configure up to 32 ports.

Cisco Unity Services Configuration Wizard

The Cisco Unity Services Configuration wizard is a program run during installations and upgrades to set the accounts that the Cisco Unity directory-facing and message store-facing services will use.

Cisco Unity System Preparation Assistant

The Cisco Unity System Preparation Assistant is a utility that helps installers customize the platform for Cisco Unity. After the operating system is installed, the assistant is run to check for and install the required Windows components, browser, database, and service packs.

For more information on the Cisco Unity System Preparation Assistant, refer to the "Running the Cisco Unity System Preparation Assistant" section in the "Customizing the Cisco Unity Platform" chapter of the Cisco Unity Installation Guide. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Cisco Unity Telephony Integration Manager

The Cisco Unity Telephone Integration Manager (UTIM) is a utility that has a graphical user interface and wizard to aid in creating, modifying, and deleting integrations with phone systems.

Cisco Unity with Domino: Lotus Notes with IBM Lotus Domino Unified Communications Services (DUCS) for Cisco Unity

With IBM Lotus Domino Unified Communications Services (DUCS) for Cisco Unity, Cisco Unity subscribers can send and manage voice, fax, and e-mail messages from their IBM Lotus Notes Inbox. Subscribers can use Lotus Notes with DUCS for Cisco Unity to send voice messages to other subscribers, non-Cisco Unity subscribers, and public distribution lists. They can play and record voice messages by using the VCR-style recording and playback controls presented in the message form.

Note that when subscribers listen to new messages by using Lotus Notes with DUCS for Cisco Unity, Cisco Unity relies on the Domino server to determine whether the subscribers have listened to new messages. As a result, subscribers who work with Lotus Notes offline will report that message waiting indicators (MWIs) on their phones do not turn off in a timely manner. Advise subscribers that once their Lotus Notes client replicates with the Domino server, the MWIs will be turned off.

DUCS for Cisco Unity is not a licensed feature, nor does it require that you give subscribers special class of service privileges or passwords to use it. To set up Lotus Notes with DUCS for Cisco Unity, install DUCS for Cisco Unity on each subscriber workstation, as applicable. Refer to the DUCS for Cisco Unity documentation for details.

Cisco Unity with Domino: Networking Options

Cisco Unity with Lotus Domino supports the following networking options:

Digital Networking—Allows messaging among multiple Cisco Unity servers that access the same subscriber directory. The directory in which Cisco Unity stores data is specified when Cisco Unity is set up. You specify an address book (or directory) that Cisco Unity uses to import users from. This is the directory that Cisco Unity monitors for data from other Cisco Unity servers. During setup, you also specify one Domino server (the partner Domino server) through which Cisco Unity communicates with other Domino servers in the network. To use Digital Networking:

•The partner Domino servers must be in the same Notes domain.

•Each Cisco Unity server must be set up to monitor the primary Domino Directory for the domain, names.nsf.

Internet Subscribers—By creating Internet subscriber accounts, you enable Cisco Unity subscribers to exchange voice messages with individuals who have computers connected to the Internet or to any TCP/IP network. An Internet subscriber receives a voice message as an e-mail with a WAV attachment.

Cisco Unity with Domino: New Cisco Unity Components

Cisco Unity with Lotus Domino includes the following new components:

Directory Monitor—Cisco Unity is configured to monitor one or more Notes address books for changes and to allow imports of users. The directory monitor for Domino keeps the Cisco Unity data in the specified address books synchronized with the SQL database on the Cisco Unity server. The directory monitor also works in the other direction, and writes changed information from Cisco Unity to the directory. The directory monitor service name is AvDSDomino.

Message Abstraction Layer (MAL)—The MAL for Domino interfaces with DUCS for Cisco Unity and enables Cisco Unity to use Domino as a message store.

Notifier—The Notifier for Domino monitors each subscriber Inbox and sends notification requests to other Cisco Unity components that turn on/off message waiting indicators, or notify a subscriber of new messages by calling a phone or pager, or by sending an e-mail.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Active Directory Schema Changes

During setup of Cisco Unity with Exchange, you specify one Exchange server (the partner Exchange server) through which Cisco Unity communicates with other Exchange servers in the network. If the partner server is Exchange 2000, then Cisco Unity stores a small subset of its data in Active Directory, which means the schema must be modified.

The only difference with the schema extensions required by Cisco Unity 4.0(x) and those for Cisco Unity 3.x is that Cisco Unity 4.0(x) adds two attributes to the location object class: ciscoEcsbuUMSystemState and ciscoEcsbuAlternateDtmfIdsOrder. To see the changes that the schema update program makes, browse to the directory Schema\LdifScripts on the Cisco Unity DVD or CD1, and view the file Avdirmonex2k.ldf.

Because attributes are added and not taken away or changed, if necessary, the 4.0(x) version of the Avdirmonex2k.ldf script can be run on networks with only Cisco Unity 3.x servers.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Cisco Unity Import Utility No Longer Available

In previous releases of Cisco Unity, the Cisco Unity Import utility (also known as AvImport) was used to create multiple subscriber accounts at once, either by using information from Exchange mailboxes or from a comma-separated value file.

There were two versions of the Import utility: one for Exchange 5.5 and one for Exchange 2000. Both versions of the utility have been replaced by the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard. See "Cisco Unity Bulk Import Wizard" section for details.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Cisco Unity Inbox

The Cisco Unity Inbox website lets subscribers listen to, compose, reply to, forward, and delete voice messages. Subscribers use the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) to access the Cisco Unity Assistant and the Cisco Unity Inbox.

The Cisco Unity Inbox is a licensed feature, and can be accessed only if it is purchased. In addition, subscribers who want to access the Cisco Unity Inbox, must be given the proper class of service rights on the Subscribers > Class of Service > Features page in the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Note that in version 3.1(x) and earlier, the Cisco Unity Inbox was known as the Visual Messaging Interface, or VMI. Subscribers who use the VMI URL http://<Cisco Unity server name>/web/vmi will be automatically redirected to the Cisco PCA website. The URL for the Cisco PCA is http://<Cisco Unity server name>/ciscopca.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Enterprise Deployment of ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook

The ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook setup has been redesigned to use Microsoft Windows Installer, and is presented in a wizard format. The new setup allows system administrators to deploy and support ViewMail from a CD ROM, shared network drive, or by utilizing software publishing tools, such as Microsoft IntelliMirror and version 1.2 or 2.0 of Systems Management Server (SMS).

In addition, the new ViewMail installation no longer requires the installation of Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) on client workstations.

For more information on installing ViewMail, see the "Setting Up Client Applications" chapter in the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: External User Import Utility No Longer Available

In previous releases of Cisco Unity, the External User Import utility was used to create AMIS and Bridge subscriber accounts. The utility has been replaced by the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard. See "Cisco Unity Bulk Import Wizard" section for details.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Voice Profile For Internet Messaging (VPIM)

Cisco Unity with Exchange supports the Voice Profile for Internet Messaging (VPIM) protocol, which allows different voice messaging systems to exchange voice, fax, and text messages over the Internet or any TCP/IP network. VPIM is based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) protocols.

See the "VPIM-Compliant Voice Messaging Systems Qualified for Use with Cisco Unity with Exchange" section for a list of supported voice messaging systems.

For information on using VPIM in Cisco Unity, refer to the Networking in Cisco Unity Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_feature_guides_list.html.

DVD Installation for Cisco Unity Software

Cisco Unity software is now shipped on a DVD. The software is still available on CDs by request.

Enable 12- or 24-Hour Time Stamps for Subscriber Messages

You can select the time format used for the message time stamps that subscribers hear when they listen to their messages over the phone. The following options are available on the Conversation pages in the Cisco Unity Administrator for subscriber templates and individual subscribers:

System Default—Subscribers hear message time stamps in the time format specified in the Use 24-Hour Time Format for Conversation and Schedules field on the System > Configuration > Settings page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. (Cisco Unity uses the 12-hour clock format as the system default.)

12-Hour Clock—Subscribers hear 1:00 p.m. when listening to the time stamp for a message left at 1:00 p.m.

24-Hour Clock—Subscribers hear 13:00 when listening to the time stamp for a message left at 1:00 p.m.

Subscribers can also set their own time stamp preferences in the Cisco Unity Assistant.

FlexStack

The Conversation pages in the Cisco Unity Administrator for subscriber templates and individual subscribers are redesigned to offer administrators more flexibility when specifying message playback preferences for subscribers. To customize the order in which Cisco Unity plays new and old messages, you can first sort them by message type (e.g. urgent faxes, urgent voice messages, normal e-mails, etc.), and then indicate whether the newest or oldest messages are played first.

In addition, you can specify whether Cisco Unity plays a new Message Type menu for subscriber when they check messages by phone. The Message Type menu allows subscribers to choose the type of messages that they want to hear.

Subscribers can use the Cisco Unity Assistant to change their own message playback preferences, and to specify whether they want to use the Message Type menu.

For information on setting up message playback preferences for subscribers, refer to the "Subscriber Template Conversation Settings" section in the "Subscriber Template Settings" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html. The Message Type menu is also provided on the back of the Cisco Unity Phone Menus card for use as a quick reference guide.

Improved Directory Handler Searches

By enabling the new Play All Names field on the Call Management > Directory Handler > Profile page in the Cisco Unity Administrator, you can set up a directory handler so that Cisco Unity plays the names of all subscribers rather than requiring the caller to search by spelled name, as in previous releases.

Cisco Unity plays the names of all subscribers in the directory when either of the following conditions are true:

•One to five subscriber names are listed in the directory.

•The caller chooses to play all names listed in the directory. When there are more than five (but less than 51) subscriber names listed in the directory, the Cisco Unity phone conversation allows callers the choice of either searching for a subscriber in the directory by spelled name or having Cisco Unity play all names listed in the directory.

Note that when the Play All Names field is enabled and there are no subscriber names listed in the directory, Cisco Unity sends the caller to the call handler specified on the Caller Input page. However, when a directory handler includes more than 50 subscriber names, Cisco Unity still requires the caller to search for a subscriber by spelled name.

License Files Replace System Keys

Cisco Unity has changed its license-control process from using a physical system key to using electronic license files. License files are required to install or to upgrade Cisco Unity software and to change licensed features. A system key is no longer required.

License Pooling

License pooling is a feature that enables you to use licenses efficiently by allowing them to be shared among two or more Cisco Unity servers within the same corporate directory.

The following features are pooled:

•Subscribers

•Unified Messaging Subscribers

•Cisco Unity Inbox Subscribers

To add a Cisco Unity server's subscriber licenses to the pool, you install a license file that has the license pooling feature enabled on the Cisco Unity server. If the Cisco Unity system is using failover, you install the file only on the primary Cisco Unity server.

For the procedure on viewing license pooling information, see the "Viewing License Pooling Information: Cisco Unity System Administration Guide" section in the "Documentation Updates" section.

Live Reply ("Call the Subscriber")

Live reply allows subscribers who listen to their messages by phone to respond to a message from another subscriber by calling them. When live reply is enabled, subscribers listening to messages by phone can reply to a subscriber message by pressing 4-4 to have Cisco Unity call the subscriber directly. (Subscribers using Optional Conversation 1 press 8-8 for live reply.)

Cisco Unity dials the extension of the subscriber who left the message only when:

•The subscriber who left the message is homed on the same Cisco Unity server as the subscriber attempting to reply.

•The Transfer Incoming Calls to Subscriber's Phone setting for the subscriber who left the message is set to ring an extension or another number. (The Transfer Incoming Calls to Subscriber's Phone field is on the Subscribers > Subscribers > Call Transfer page in the Cisco Unity Administrator.)

Live reply is a class of service feature. For information on enabling it for subscribers, refer to the "Class of Service Messages Settings" section in the "Class of Service Settings" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide. The guide is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Multiple Directory Handlers

The multiple directory handler feature provides quick, effective, and secure directory searches for systems with hundreds or thousands of subscribers. Multiple directory handlers are also used for call routing in headquarters and branch office deployments where Cisco Unity provides centralized call processing. Administrators can create as many directory handlers as they need to manage caller searches for subscribers. (Directory handlers provide directory assistance in Cisco Unity that callers can use to reach subscribers. When a caller searches on a name or part of a name, a directory handler looks up the extension and routes the call to the appropriate subscriber.)

Multithreaded G.729a Codec

The multithreaded G.729a codec version 2.0.0.6 is supported for use and shipped with Cisco Unity version 4.0(x). It is automatically installed on the Cisco Unity server by the Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant.

Use the SL_G729a_setup.exe file on the Cisco Unity DVD or CD1 to install the G.729a codec as needed on subscriber workstations that do not have ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook or DUCS for Cisco Unity installed.

Note that by default, ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook and DUCS for Cisco Unity install the single-threaded version 1.0.0.0 G.729a codec. It is not necessary to upgrade these workstations to the multithreaded version 2.0.0.6 codec.

To determine the version of the G.729a codec installed on the Cisco Unity server or on a subscriber workstation, refer to the "To determine the G.729a audio codec version in use" section.

Option to Disable Addressing Messages by Spelled Name

System administrators can disable addressing by spelled name so that subscribers can address messages only by extension.

Option to Install G.711 and G.729a Prompt Sets

During installation of Cisco Unity, you can choose whether to install the G.711 prompt set (the default) or the G.729a prompt set. The prompt set installed must match the message storage codec chosen during system configuration planning. Both the G.711 and G.729a prompt sets are also available for download from the Cisco Software Center at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-voice.shtml.

RealSpeak TTS Languages

Mainland Mandarin, Norwegian, Swedish, Italian, Danish, and Dutch RealSpeak text-to-speech (TTS) languages are supported, as well as a revised Japanese TTS engine. A maximum of nine TTS languages may be installed on the Cisco Unity server.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Integration

Cisco Unity can use session initiation protocol (SIP) to integrate with a Cisco SIP Proxy Server.

Streamlined Message Playback Conversation

The Cisco Unity conversation, which subscribers hear when they check their messages by phone, has been enhanced in the following ways:

•Some prompts were revised to eliminate confusing phrases and provide clearer instructions.

•Message header, body and footer were combined into one phrase to allow subscribers to access the message menu more quickly and easily.

•Some prompts were added to confirm subscriber actions (for example, Cisco Unity now plays "Marked new," "Saved," or "Deleted").

Windows Terminal Services

Microsoft Windows Terminal Services, or WTS, is the default remote-access software for the Cisco Unity server. See the "Windows Terminal Services Limitations" section.

Installation and Upgrade Notes

For detailed information on installing a new Cisco Unity 4.0(x) system or on upgrading to Cisco Unity version 4.0(x), refer to the Cisco Unity Installation Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Cisco Unity Phone Conversation System Prompts

System prompts are standard recordings that come with the Cisco Unity system, and they cannot be changed by using the Cisco Unity Administrator, the Cisco Unity Assistant, or the phone conversation. System prompts are played in different combinations in multiple places in the phone conversation. All system prompts are located in the CommServer\Localize\Prompts directory and subdirectories.

Do not delete system prompts, as this can cause system errors.

Customizing system prompts is also not supported. All system prompts are automatically deleted and replaced whenever you upgrade Cisco Unity, including the installation of maintenance releases.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook No Longer Controlled by Class of Service

Subscribers are no longer required to have special class of service privileges to use ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook. Any subscriber who has ViewMail installed can use it.

Upgrade Effect on Diagnostic Traces and the Intel Dialogic Quiet Parameter

Diagnostic traces that were set before an upgrade are not preserved and must be reset after the upgrade.

The Intel Dialogic quiet parameter is preserved in an upgrade only if the voice card software is not reinstalled from the Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant. If the Install Voice Card Software check box is checked in the Cisco Unity Setup program, the quiet parameter will be lost and must be reset after the upgrade.

Upgrades from Cisco Unity Versions Earlier than 2.3(4.104) Are Not Supported

The Cisco Unity Database Export and Database Import utilities, which let you export subscriber and other information from a 2.x system and import it into a 4.0(x) system, do not work on a Cisco Unity system earlier than version 2.3(4.104). You must install Cisco Unity 4.0(x) as a new system, and all Cisco Unity data from the old system is lost.

Using Mainland Mandarin Text to Speech

If you set up Mainland Mandarin text to speech, set the following Regional Options fields on the Cisco Unity server (on the Windows Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel > Regional Options > General):

•Your Locale is set to Chinese (PRC).

•Language Setting for the System (Default) is set to Simplified Chinese OS (CHS).
(To change the Language Setting for the System, click Set Default. In the Select System Locale window list, click Simplified Chinese OS (CHS).)

Restart the Cisco Unity server for the changes to take effect.

Limitations and Restrictions

Dual NICs

Cisco Unity is qualified for dual network interface cards (NIC) configured only in adaptive fault-tolerant mode (AFT is the abbreviation used by Dell and IBM), which is also known as network fault-tolerant mode (NFT is the abbreviation used by Hewlett-Packard). The supported configuration is one NIC designated as primary and the other as secondary, with a single IP address (the NICs do not have individual IP addresses) and both cards connected to the same network. The configuration uses currently supported hardware and applies to all shipping versions of Cisco Unity.

Replacing Disks in a RAID

For any server in a Cisco Unity system (the Cisco Unity server, a failover server, a Cisco Unity Bridge server, a message store server, or a dedicated DC/GC), Cisco Unity only supports replacing a defective disk in a RAID with a blank disk to repair the RAID. Replacing disks in a RAID for any other reason is not supported.

Caution Do not replace a disk in a RAID with a disk that contains data, even if the replacement disk was originally a disk in the same RAID in the same server.

Text-to-Speech Does Not Play Name in From Field

By design, when subscribers listen to their e-mail messages by using the Cisco Unity phone conversation, the text-to-speech (TTS) feature does not "read" the name in the From field to subscribers. Thus, if the message is from someone who is not a Cisco Unity subscriber, the Cisco Unity conversation does not indicate who sent the message. However, when a message is from a Cisco Unity subscriber, the Cisco Unity conversation plays the name (if one is recorded) or extension for that subscriber.

The design allows better TTS performance, and has worked as described since Cisco Unity 2.46. For more information, refer to caveat CSCdx95644. (If you have an account with Cisco.com, you can use Bug Toolkit to find caveats of any severity for any release. Bug Toolkit is available at the website http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl.)

Workaround

Update Cisco CallManager to the latest version supported with the current Cisco Unity software.

CSCdz10708

2

Subscriber data is lost during an upgrade.

This problem can occur if the Cisco Unity server is restarted while the Cisco Unity Setup Program is running.

Workaround:

There is no workaround. Avoid restarting the server while the Cisco Unity Setup Program is copying files. We recommend backing up the data by using DiRT prior to upgrading.

CSCdz12267

2

Symptom:

When using Text Pager Notification, if a new message arrives to the subscriber, Cisco Unity will continuously send notification messages. They will not cease even after the original message is retrieved.

Conditions:

This problem only occurs if you're using Lotus Domino as your mailstore. This implies you are using Cisco Unity 4.0 release or higher. You also must have the Text Pager Notification feature enabled and configured to a valid SMTP address.

Workaround:

There is no workaround. To stop the notification messages from sending, disable the feature from the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Subscribers cannot be imported from peer domains. If there are multiple peer domains at the root of a forest, only the very first domain that was added to the forest is visible in the CUBI domain selection list. All child domains of this domain are also visible in the domain selection list.

This can occur in Cisco Unity version 4.0(1) when connected to Exchange 2000 and Active Directory where there are multiple peer domains at the root of a forest. Cisco Unity Bulk Import is only aware of the first domain, along with all child domains, that were installed in the forest.

Workaround

Use the Unity System Administrator to import/create new subscribers.

CSCdz34690

2

Message notification does not use all ports that are configured for notification, so notifications go out slowly. This is most apparent when a voice message is sent to a distribution list and multiple subscribers on the distribution list have message notification configured. The delay is more pronounced when fewer ports are dedicated to message notification and MWI dialouts. This can occur on either a Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino mailstore.

Workaround

If possible, configure more ports for notification and MWI dialout.

CSCdz34786

2

TTS RealSpeak fails to load if more than 9 languages are installed. There is an error in the Event Log indicating that TTS failed to load, and subscribers accessing TTS emails will hear the message, "Sorry, that email cannot be read."

Workaround

Do not install more than 9 TTS languages.

CSCae08096

When a caller calls Cisco Unity, the failsafe greeting is played. A Cisco UnityPhraseServer error is logged in the Application event log. The failsafe prompt that is heard when Cisco Unity is called says, "The system is not available to process your call, please try again later." This behavior has been seen in Cisco Unity 2.4.6(x) and 3.(x).

Workaround

At a command prompt go to the \Commserver\components directory. Register the AvPhraseServerSvr.dll by typing 'regsvr32 AvPhraseServerSvr.dll'.

Info to gather for further investigation

We need to know the value of the following registry key from a site that is experiencing the problem: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{560C47E1-B2C2-11D1-B681-00C04FB64EDD}\1.0\0\win32.

Symptom:

When setting a Dialing Domain in the Primary Location page of the Cisco Unity Administrator, after the page is saved the radio button next to the empty field is still selected and the radio button next to the selected Dialing Domain appears as unselected.

Condition:

Cisco Unity servers in the Cisco Unity Administrator Primary Location page when setting or selecting a Dialing Domain other than "None" and saving the page.

Workaround:

The radio button status is not displaying properly. Whatever Dialing Domain (or "None") appears in the drop down box in the Dialing Domain section after saving the page is the actual saved setting.

Setup crashes when using a /3GB switch in the boot file.

Symptom: Cisco Unity Setup stalls with the following error Insufficient memory available to run Setup. Close all other applications to make more memory available and try to run Setup again. Error 111. Closing all other applications and re-running setup produces the same error Condition: This happens if there is a /3GB switch in the boot.ini file on the Cisco Unity server .

Workaround

Remove the /3GB switch in order for the install to run correctly and then put it back after the configuration setup is completed

Cisco Unity Administrator does not use the fqdn of the machine when selecting users. Description: After you search for a subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, and click on that subscribers name to bring up the subscriber configuration, the URL used to bring up the subscriber config does not contain the FQDN of Cisco Unity machine, it only contains the hostname. If an Administrator is using a PC that has a different FQDN, clicking the subscriber from the search page will result in a 404 error in internet explorer. This is because the Administrators PC queries DNS using his own FQDN rather than the Cisco Unity servers.

To Recreate: Log into the Cisco Unity Administrator Click Subscribers Click the magnifying glass to do a search Search for a subscriber Click on any subscriber that shows up The page that you are taken to will not include the FQDN. This used to work fine in 3.0. Example: I can login to Cisco Unity, click on the Subscriber link. The URL in Internet Explorer at this point is: http://smith-unity.sj-ies.cisco.com/Web/SA/FrameASP/SubsFrame.asp?id=%01%0701%3A%7BCF4CAD9E%2D9AA3%2D4DC3%2D925E%2D0E2358324E59%7D&NavWidth=205 Notice the smith-unity.sj-ies.cisco.com Now after I do a search and select a subscriber, the URL changes to: http://smith-unity/Web/Sa/FrameASP/SubsFrame.asp?DirId=8b7f001524f69d40a0e1ae3fff236184&Alias=JDoe&Server=&Database=&MailBoxId=&FirstName=John&LastName=Doe&UserName=John%20Doe&MailStoreType=&Smtp=&NavWidth=205 Notice the hostname of the Cisco Unity server has changed to smith-unity. If my PC did not have a DNS suffix (or FQDN) of sj-ies.cisco.com, I would get a 404 error in IE.

Workaround

On the PC that you are having the problem on add the DNS Suffix of the Cisco Unity Server to the list of suffixes that will be searched by the PC. Windows 2000/XP example: Click Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> Click the network adapter currently in use Click Properties Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Click Properties Click Advanced Click the DNS Tab Select the radio button Append these DNS Suffixes (in order) Add the DNS Suffix of the PC first Add the DNS Suffix of Cisco Unity next

When a Cisco Unity administrator tries to delete an object (call handler, subscriber, etc.) that is a destination of links in the Cisco Unity Administrator, the delete object screen should not delete the object but it does. This results in creation of links that do not have their destination. This defect exists in Cisco Unity 3.0(1) or later.

Workaround

There is only a workaround for deleting subscriber objects. The Global Subscriber Manager tool available in Tools Depot has an option to delete subscribers. If you delete subscribers from this tool, a wizard will appear asking where to repoint any links that are pointing to the soon to be deleted subscriber. This workaround only applies to Unity 4.0(x) and higher.

Greetings should be linked to specified holidays. Problem: Holiday settings will play closed greeting and not some sort of special holiday greeting. The customer needs to go into the call handlers and manually change the closed greetings to reflect the special holiday message instead of the usual closed message.

Workaround

None.

Cisco Unity may fail to start after the Cisco Unity Configuration Setup is run. This can happen if the name of the Cisco Unity server is changed after SQL has been installed. Both Cisco Unity and MSSQL have a dependancy on the name of the server.

Workaround

Upgrade to Cisco Unity 3.1.5 or higher.

To implement the fix, the following the following procedure must be performed in SQL after the servername has been changed:

1. Open query analyzer, and run the following commands:

sp_dropserver '<oldservername>'

GO

sp_addserver '<newservername>', 'local'

2. Stop and start the SQL services. Once it restarts, use query analyzer and type

SELECT @@SERVERNAME

Make sure that is the new servername.

When SQL is installed, the SQL servername defaults to the NetBios name of the

machine. If the NetBios name of the server is changed, the SQL servername

does not change with the servername. When Cisco Unity creates the outside caller object, it uses the Unity_<SQL servername> account to create the account in Exchange/NT. However, when Cisco Unity tries to log on to this account, it does not use the Unity_<SQL servername>, it uses Unity_<NetBios servername> and fails. In short, if SQL servername does not equal the NetBios servername, Cisco Unity will not start.

Failover Ports remain registered after failover when 1 port locked. Symptom: When one or more ports is in a locked state and Cisco Unity fails over to the backup, the locked ports don't failover properly unless the Cisco Unity services are stopped manually on the primary. A locked state is when the port thinks it is processing a call (indefinitely) but no one is on the phone anymore. Conditions: This affects all enhanced failover systems running Cisco Unity 3.1 and later. Ports in a locked state can be found with any integration, but most often are found on systems using the Cisco Unity-CM TSP to connect to Cisco Call Manager. Workaround: Stop Cisco Unity manually on the primary and it will clear up the locked ports and thus those ports will fail over properly to the backup Cisco Unity. Further Problem Description: This problem is caused by the logic inside Cisco Unity that waits until a port is idle to fail it over to the secondary Cisco Unity. We don't want to hang up on active calls while they're in progress, so we wait for the port to go idle before failing each port over. But, when a port is locked, it appears to Cisco Unity to be processing a call forever. (You'll see an active call for some large number of hours on the status monitor.) So thus Cisco Unity never thinks it's idle and never fails it over.

Subscribers can be deleted without safely removing any dependencies. Problem: Subscribers can be deleted without the system checking to see if there are any call handlers or other objects that rely on that subscriber for anything. This can be a problem if a call handler relies on that subscriber as the message recipient. Whenever we hit that call handler, we'll get a failsafe message. The owner field on the call handler will also be blank if it was owned by that subscriber. There should be a mechanism that first checks all object dependencies when an administrator attempts to delete a subscriber. Workaround: None.

A repeatable error will occur during the outside caller leave and retrieve load testing. The error in the event log will be a Cisco UnityMiu error indicating a failure in AvWav. There will also be an error in the event log indicating acmStreamClose failed with error(5). The ports should continue answering calls, and Cisco Unity should still answer.

This problem occurs when using the G.729a codec. This has now been seen using almost any integration. Initially, it was thought to be a voice card integration problem, but it has been seen on Cisco CallManager as well. The prompts and greetings are typically in G.711 and the message record format is G.729a.

Workaround

Running in a pure G.711 environment should not produce these errors.

Failover event logging is not clear. Symptom: Informational event messages may show that a server has become active several minutes before the server is actually active. Conditions: When failover of failback is initiated the following messages appear in the application event log Event Type: Information Event Source: AvDirSynch_MC Event Category: Run Event ID: 1077 Description: This Cisco Unity server has become the active server and will start monitoring the Exchange 5.5 directory for changes. Event Type: Information Event Source: AvCsNodeMgr_MC Event Category: Run Event ID: 1047 Description: Service AvCsMgr is active. However, it may take several minutes for the server to actually become active. When the server does become active the same pair of event log messages will be sent again. Work-around: None.

Cisco Unity Administrator shows locked account as unlocked. Symptoms: If a subscriber account is locked after the subscriber enters the wrong pin number or password, the Cisco Unity Administrator shows the account as unlocked on the Subscriber > Account page. Conditions: This problem has been observed on Cisco Unity versions 3.1(1) and 3.1(3). Workaround: 1. In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the Subscriber > Account page for the subscriber who has been locked out. 2. Check Cisco Unity Account Status: Locked<noCmdBold>, and click the save icon. 3. Uncheck Cisco Unity Account Status: Locked<noCmdBold>, and click the save icon. The subscriber can now log on to Cisco Unity.

Inconsistent behavior when adding Internet Subscribers. Problem: Depending on whether or not there are available licenses for mailboxes, Cisco Unity behaves differently when adding internet subscribers. - If there are mailbox licenses available, Internet Subscribers can be added and do not count against the overall license count. - If there are no mailbox licenses available, Internet Subscribers can not be added and this pop up box appears: Couldn't create the object because no more licenses were available. This occurs regardless of the Class of Service and Subscriber Template assigned to the new Internet Subscriber. Workaround: At least one mailbox license needs to be available. If the Example Subscriber still exists within Cisco Unity, that account is safe to delete as it serves no real function and needlessly uses a mailbox license.

Sometimes, the failover configuration wizard fails to complete successfully and displays a message that it is unable to remove duplicate objects or is unable to configure SQL replication.

These error messages will appear when running the failover configuration wizard to configure Cisco Unity failover.

Workaround

The above messages do not necessarily indicate that the actual problem is while deleting duplicate accounts or while configuring SQL replication. This is because each task invloves four or five steps and if any of these steps fail, the same error message appears for each failed step. Look in the Failover Configuration log to identify the actual problem.

Symptom:

Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard only allows import of Bridge, VPIM or AMIS subscribers for a single delivery location at a time.

Condition:

Cisco Unity 4.0(1) when using the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard to import Bridge, VPIM or AMIS subscribers from a .csv file on the Cisco Unity bridgehead server.

Workaround:

1. Create separate .csv files.

2. Each .csv file should contain all subscribers to be associated with a single Cisco Unity delivery location on the bridgehead server.

3. Run the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard once for each delivery location for which subscribers are being imported/created.

Additional Information:

The Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard, introduced in 4.0(1), has consolidated the import capabilities previously available in two separate tools in Cisco Unity 3.1(x) —AVImport (also referred to as the Cisco Unity Import utility) and the ExternalUserImport tool. The result is a much improved single tool for import of all subscriber types. The capabilities of this new tool far outweigh what either of the previous tools provided.

However, the ExternalUserImport tool in 3.1(x) did have one capability which is not yet available in the initial 4.0(1) release of the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard. That is the ability to define the delivery location for each Bridge or AMIS subscriber in the .csv file—allowing one large import of all Bridge and AMIS subscribers at once. Instead, when using the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard to import AMIS, Bridge or VPIM subscribers, a single Delivery Location to associate the records in the .csv file with is selected at run time from a list of available delivery locations.

Symptom:

Transfers from the Opening Greeting to an extension hear "I'm sorry I did not recognize your extension..."

Condition:

This behavior has been seen in Cisco Unity 3.1(3), but could possibly occur in other 3.x versions. No transfers were working from the call handler into the subscribers phones in a "release to switch" scenario. When you put in the extension, you get the message saying "Sorry that is not a valid entry". However, the extension and subscriber do exist in Unity.

Workaround:

Run DbWalker to see if it reports any errors. If there are any errors in the application event log or in DBWalker that say anything about the Location, your Global Location table may be out of sync with your Location table in SQL. The LocationObjectID and SystemID from the Location table should be copied to the LocationOjbectID and SystemID of the Global Location table.

PBX Link calls from Definity G3 intermittently do not integrate. Symptom: Intermittently (10%-20% of the calls), forwarded calls get directed to the Opening Greeting instead of to the individual subscriber mailbox. No integration information is recorded for the call either on the Integration Monitor or the Call Viewer. Conditions: The forwarded calls are coming in from a Definity G3 switch through a PBXLink box. They do not get integrated properly and therefore get directed to the Opening Greeting. The Call is, therefore, seen as an External Direct call regardless of whether it was placed from onnet or offnet and no forwarding number is recorded. The trunk ID information is recorded as a -1 as against a default of 0 for all of these failed calls on the Call Viewer. Workaround: None

PBXLink bad MWI request sends next incoming call to opening greeting.

Symptom: When integrated with a PBX via a PBXLink, calls are randomly being sent to the opening greeting instead of subscribers' mailboxes. Problem: After a PBXLink sends out a corrupt MWI on/off request, the very next incoming call has it's call info stripped by the PBXLink. When the call is handed to Cisco Unity, it is routed to the opening greeting due to lack of call info.

Workaround

None.

When a call handler has a custom Caller Input timeout (default is 1500 milliseconds) and is linked to another Call Handler (via Caller Input map), the linked Call Handler will inherit the Caller Input timeout settings when you attempt to transfer to Subscriber Sign-in. This only happens when the key that is being used to transfer to the linked call handler is locked (will not wait for any additional keypresses).

Settings used to reproduce defect: Create a test Call Handler. Give it an extension and record a spoken name. Navigate to Caller Input and set the Milliseconds to wait for additional digits is set to a lower than default value (1500 to <400 milliseconds.) Next, link a key (i.e. 1) to send caller to Opening Greeting (or another call handler) and make sure the key is locked (don't wait for an additional keypress). Next, call Cisco Unity and navigate to the Test call handler. Once you hear the greeting, press the assigned key (i.e. 1) to transfer to the second call handler (Opening Greeting or other). Once you hear the Opening Greeting Standard greeting. At this point, if you press *, by default Cisco Unity will send you to Subscriber sign-in. It is at this point that the caller has inherited the timeout that was set in the initial call handler. If it is set for <200 milliseconds, it will be nearly impossible to enter your ID. If you call Opening Greeting directly, and then press * to go to Subscriber Sign-in, everything works as expected. Also, if you press * from the initial call handler (even with the key locked and timeout lowered) Subscriber sign-in will work as expected.

Workaround

In the initial call handler, if you unlock the key (1 in the above example) it will not carry over the timeout setting to the Subscriber Sign-in. Also, if you press * from the initial call handler you will be sent to Subscriber sign-in and the behavior is normal. If you call Opening Greeting directly, and then press * to go to Subscriber Sign-in, everything works as expected. Also, if you press * from the initial call handler (even with the key locked and timeout lowered) Subscriber sign-in will work as expected.

Symptom:

Long delays in the Cisco Unity conversation may be heard under certain failover conditions if Cisco Unity is operating within a Lotus Domino cluster. The failover in this situation refers to Lotus Domino clustering and not a failover to a secondary Cisco Unity server. The delays will occur anytime Cisco Unity must open a database on the Lotus Domino server. This includes logging into one's mailbox, retrieving a message, as well as sending a message.

Conditions:

If Cisco Unity is functioning within a Lotus Domino cluster and a failover to a cluster mate is caused due to either the primary server Cisco Unity connects not running (the Lotus Domino service is off) or the physical machine is powered down, the symptoms described above will likely be experienced.

Workaround:

None. Once the non-operational Lotus Domino server becomes available, the delays in the conversation will no longer exist.

CSCdz20966

3

Symptom:

Under certain conditions when Cisco Unity operates within a Domino cluster, a user logged into their mail box may experience one or more of the following behaviors:

•Incorrect message count

•Inability to access messages present in a mail box

•Incorrect or odd conversation flow from Cisco Unity

•Fail Safe and termination of the phone call

Conditions:

The above behaviors may occur after a user has logged into their mail box and Cisco Unity is forced to fail over to a mail file replica on a cluster mate during the phone call. Any voice messages received prior to the fail over which have not yet been pushed by the Domino cluster replicator to the mail file replica may not be accessible. Under this situation, the message count Cisco Unity has will not be in agreement with the current message count on the replica mail file. In addition, new voice messages received after the fail over may also not be available to the caller.

Under this situation, the caller may or may not be able to listen to messages already present in the mail file replica. The exact behavior observed is heavily dependent upon the precise point in the Cisco Unity conversation that the fail over occurs as well as the actions taken by the caller after the fail over.

Workaround:

There is no known workaround for this situation. The caller must hang-up and log back into their

mail box.

Cisco Unity Administrator does not prevent deletion of call handler message recipients. Problem: When deleting a subscriber or distribution list, Cisco Unity makes no checks to verify that the deleted object is the message recipient for a call handler or interview handler. If it is, then caveat CSCdx46851 is experienced.

Workaround

Once the object is deleted, the administrator should check the call handlers and interview handlers to verify that all message recipients are valid subscribers or distribution lists.

Also, if deleting a subscriber object, the Global Subscriber Manager tool available in Tools Depot has an option to delete subscribers. If you delete subscribers from this tool, a wizard will appear asking where to repoint any links that are pointing to the soon to be deleted subscriber. This only applies to Unity 4.0(x) and higher.

Using SMTP Networking, when a customer at site A leaves a message for a subscriber at site B, and the subscriber at site B listens to the message, the conversation does not offer them the option to press 4 to reply to the message. If you press 4 even though it wasn't offered, you can reply to the message. This happens any time a customer leaves a message from Site A to Site B using SMTP Networking, and Site B does not have an Internet Subscriber configured for the sending subscriber in Site A. This defect is reproducible in Cisco Unity 4.0(1), and in Cisco Unity 3.1(4) and 3.1(5) when updated with the hotfixes necessary for SMTP Networking (including the voice connector hotfix and Cisco Unity hotfixes in the case of 3.1(4) installations).

Condition

Within Cisco Unity Administrator, Distribution Lists can be created with a forward slash (/ or Solidus) in the name. The Distribution Lists are also added to Exchange 5.5.

Symptom

Even though the Distribution Lists can be created in Cisco Unity and are added to Exchange 5.5, the Distribution Lists do not function.

While in Cisco Unity, you are offered to send a message by pressing 2. Then you can spell the name of a person or distribution list. You can hit ## to switch between spelling and number entry. After hitting ## to enter the number and entering the Distribution List number, you hit #. You can add another name by pressing 1 or you can then hit # to record a message. After hitting # and recording a message, you hit # again to stop recording. You are then prompted to press 1 for message options or to press # to send the message.

After pressing pound # to send the message, you hear:

This message has no address.

You then go back to where you are prompted to switch between spelling and number entries.

Workaround

Do not use a forward slash or any specials characters in the name. I tested with E2K and received an error message 'unknown' error when attempting to add a DL with a / in the name.

Documentation Updates

Errors

This section lists errors in the current Cisco Unity documentation and gives corrected information. The correct information will be incorporated in a future documentation release, or as otherwise noted.

Installing License Files on the Secondary Cisco Unity Server: Cisco Unity Installation Guide (With Microsoft Exchange)

The "Installing and Configuring Cisco Unity Software with Failover" section in the "Installing and Configuring Cisco Unity Software" chapter of the Cisco Unity Installation Guide (With Microsoft Exchange), Release 4.0(1) incorrectly instructs you to skip installing license files on the secondary server.

In fact, you install the default license file on the secondary server. In the "Installing License Files (with Failover)" subsection, do the procedure "To install license files (with failover)" to install the default license file, CiscoUnity40.lic. The file is located in the CommServer\Licenses directory.

Omissions

This section lists new and additional information that is not included in the current Cisco Unity documentation. The new and additional information will be incorporated in a future documentation release, or as otherwise noted.

Active Directory Schema Replication: Cisco Unity Installation Guide (With Microsoft Exchange)

In the Cisco Unity Installation Guide (With Microsoft Exchange), Release 4.0(1), the following note should appear before each procedure that involves Active Directory schema replication (running Forestprep and Domainprep, and extending the Active Directory schema for Cisco Unity and extending the Active Directory schema to add networking options):

Note Confirm that all domain controllers are on line before making the schema updates. Schema replication will occur only when all domain controllers are on line.

Viewing License Pooling Information: Cisco Unity System Administration Guide

The following procedure for viewing Cisco Unity license pooling information was not included in the "Maintaining Cisco Unity" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.

To view the license pooling information

Step 1 On a Cisco Unity server where pooling is enabled, double-click the Cisco Unity Tools Depot icon on the desktop.

Step 2 Under Administration Tools, double-click License Info Viewer.

Step 3 Under Cisco Unity Licensing, double-click License Pool.

Step 4 In the right pane, double-click the pooled feature to view the Cisco Unity servers that are contributing and using licenses for the feature.

Troubleshooting

Cisco Unity troubleshooting information can be found:

•In the Cisco Unity Troubleshooting Guide, which is available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_troubleshooting_guides_list.html.

•At the Cisco TAC website http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/index.html.

Cisco Unity Demonstration System

A demonstration system is a fully functioning version of Cisco Unity that has the limits noted in the "Limits on a Cisco Unity Demonstration System" section. A demonstration system uses one of two different license files:

•Default license file (available on the Cisco Unity server).

•Time-limited license file (must be ordered from Cisco).

Note Because a demonstration system is a fully functioning Cisco Unity system, installing a demonstration system requires the same level of care and attention to detail that is required of installing a system on a customer site. To successfully install a demonstration system, refer to the instructions in the Cisco Unity Installation Guide and in the integration guide for your phone system. Cisco TAC does not provide support for Cisco Unity demonstration systems.

The software for a demonstration system can be ordered online. The orderable demonstration system is the easiest way to get an entire set of the discs, including third-party software (except Windows 2000 Server). It is available at http://www.cisco.com/go/marketplace.

We strongly recommend that you install a demonstration system by using the software you receive when you purchase either the full version of Cisco Unity or the orderable demonstration system. Both include the versions of third-party products that Cisco Unity requires to function properly. Installations of demonstration systems frequently fail because the installer is using an unsupported version of third-party software.

To enable the demonstration system, see the applicable section, depending on which license file you are using:

•"Enabling a Cisco Unity Demonstration System with the Default License File" section.

•"Enabling a Cisco Unity Demonstration System with the Time-Limited License File" section.

See also the "Converting a Cisco Unity Demonstration System to a Standard System" section, if applicable.

Limits on a Cisco Unity Demonstration System

•10 unified messaging (UM) subscribers

•10 Cisco Unity Inbox subscribers

•2 voice ports

•30-second limit for messages

•The ability to integrate with any supported phone system

Time-Limited License File

The time-limited license enables either unified messaging (UM) or voice messaging (VM) with the following limitations:

•Unified messaging feature package

–50 unified messaging subscribers with 16 sessions

–2 RealSpeak text-to-speech (TTS) sessions

–2 languages

–AMIS

–4 voice messaging ports

•Voice messaging feature package

–50 unified messaging subscribers with 16 sessions
