(Platform overlays are defined in the Cisco Unity Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_data_sheets_list.html.)

Note that Windows 2000 Advanced Server is included with Cisco Unity Platform Overlay 4 and 5 servers purchased from Cisco. If the server is not purchased from Cisco, the customer also must purchase Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

You are not required to upgrade existing Cisco Unity servers to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. However, if you are using Cisco Unity with Microsoft Exchange, you may want to upgrade for performance reasons as described in Cisco Unity Virtual Memory Usage Troubleshooting and Workaround, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_tech_notes_list.html. If you choose to upgrade from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2000 Advanced Server, do the following procedure.


Caution The following procedure does not work when Domino is the message store, because the Disaster Recovery Tool does not support Domino.

To upgrade from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2000 Advanced Server (optional, Exchange only)


Step 1 Download the latest version of the Cisco Unity Disaster Recovery Tool (DiRT) from http://ciscounitytools.com/.

Step 2 Back up Cisco Unity data by using DiRT. For more information, refer to the DiRT online Help and the streaming video training available on http://ciscounitytools.com/.


Caution The restore will fail if you do not follow the instructions in the DiRT online Help. For example, you cannot restore data to a version of Cisco Unity different from the one you backed up.

Step 3 If Exchange is installed on the Cisco Unity server: Back up messages by using Veritas Backup Exec or another Exchange-aware backup utility.

Step 4 Reinstall all software on the Cisco Unity server. Refer to "Part 1: Installing and Configuring the Cisco Unity Server" in the "Mandatory Tasks for Installing Cisco Unity" chapter of the Cisco Unity Installation Guide, Release 4.0(2), available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Step 5 If Exchange is installed on the Cisco Unity server: Restore messages by using the backup that you made in Step 3.

Step 6 Restore Cisco Unity data by using DiRT. Refer to the DiRT online Help.

Step 7 Restore settings that are not saved by DiRT (for example, any mappings made with the GrantUnityAccess tool). Refer to the DiRT online Help.


Windows Automatic Update Supported

Windows Automatic Update (WAU) is supported on a Cisco Unity 4.0(x) and later server, and on a Cisco Unity Bridge 2.1(x) and later server when the option Notify Me Before Downloading Any Updates and Notify Me Again Before Installing Them on My Computer is selected. (Note that if Cisco Unity Platform Configuration Disc revision 12 or later is used to configure the platform for the Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Bridge server, then WAU is disabled.)


Caution Configure WAU only to check for updates, not to install updates. Most Microsoft updates can be installed on the Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Bridge server as soon as they become available. However, Microsoft service packs must be qualified for use with Cisco Unity and the Cisco Unity Bridge, and WAU does not let you distinguish between service packs and other updates.

For Microsoft service pack and update support policy information, refer to Compatibility Matrix: Required and Recommended Third-Party Service Packs, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_pre_installation_guides_list.html.

New and Changed Functionality—Release 4.0(2)

This section contains information about new and changed functionality for Cisco Unity Release 4.0(2) only. Refer to the release notes of the applicable version for information about new and changed functionality in earlier versions of Cisco Unity. Release notes for all versions of Cisco Unity are available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Cisco Personal Communications Assistant Help

Online Help for the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) is available on the Cisco Unity software discs. You do not need to download it separately from the Cisco Software Center website, nor do you need to install it. It is installed automatically when Cisco Unity is installed.

Cisco Unity Bulk Import Wizard

The Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard allows you to modify existing subscriber accounts on Cisco Unity with Domino and Cisco Unity with Exchange systems.

In addition, on a Cisco Unity with Exchange system, DELIVERY_LOCATION_ID is now a valid, optional column header in CSV files used to create AMIS, Bridge, or VPIM subscriber accounts with multiple delivery locations.

For additional Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard information, see the "Limitations and Restrictions" section.

Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator

When a public distribution list owns a call handler, the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator allows each member of the public distribution list to manage call handler greetings by using the Cisco Unity phone conversation.

For example, the public distribution list members can call Cisco Unity from any site to:

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, the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator was not available for use when a public distribution list owned a call handler. Only individual subscribers who owned call handlers could use the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator. (Note that the call handler owner is not necessarily the message recipient.)

Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant

The Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant is now used for installing or upgrading a system with failover, and for adding licensed features to a system with or without failover. In Cisco Unity 4.0(1), the assistant was used only to install a new Cisco Unity system without failover.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Active Directory Contacts Deleted When Associated External Subscribers Are Deleted

When AMIS, Bridge, or VPIM subscribers (referred to collectively as external subscribers) are deleted in the Cisco Unity Administrator—either by deleting the subscriber accounts individually or by deleting the associated delivery location—the underlying Active Directory contacts (or in the case of AMIS subscribers, the underlying Exchange 5.5 custom recipients) are automatically deleted. When you delete an Internet subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, a dialog box is displayed that allows you to optionally delete the associated contact (or custom recipient).

Note that for regular Cisco Unity subscribers, the option to delete the associated accounts in Active Directory or Windows and Exchange is not provided. Because of the security risk of accidentally deleting messages for a user and denying a user access to the Windows domain, the associated accounts and Exchange mailboxes have to be deleted by using standard Microsoft tools after deleting the subscribers in the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Disabling the Automatic Directory Synchronization of Bridge Subscribers

On a Cisco Unity server configured for networking with the Cisco Unity Bridge, the CsBridgeConnector service can be customized to disable the automatic creation, modification, and deletion of Bridge subscribers. For more information, see the "Disabling the Automatic Creation, Modification, and Deletion of Bridge Subscribers (Cisco Unity 4.0(2) and Later)" section in the "Bridge Networking" chapter of the Cisco Unity Bridge Networking Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.

Customizing the Subscriber Conversation: Changing How Subscribers Confirm Message Addressing

The Cisco Unity subscriber conversation can be customized to alter how Cisco Unity prompts a subscriber to confirm message addressing. By default, when a subscriber addresses a message, Cisco Unity plays the recorded name and extension of the intended recipient (when there is no recorded name, Cisco Unity plays the extension instead) and asks the subscriber to confirm that the recipient is correct.

A new registry setting allows you to alter the subscriber conversation during message addressing. Table 4 lists the confirmation prompts that subscribers hear with the available values for the registry setting.

Table 4 Confirmation Prompts That Subscribers Hear During Message Addressing

"There are matching names, choose by number. For Alex Campbell at extension 2015, press 1. For Li Campbell at extension 2003, press 2. For Terry Campbell at extension 2078, press 3..."


You use the Advanced Settings Tool to change the registry setting. For details, refer to the "Cisco Unity Conversation" chapter in the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_administration_guides_list.html.

Support for Copies of Configuration Files for Circuit-Switched Phone Systems

When you are creating an integration with a circuit-switched phone system and have made a copy of the .ini configuration file for your phone system in the CommServer\IntLib directory, the Telephony Integration Setup wizard and the Cisco Unity Telephony Integration Manager (UTIM) offer you the choice of the applicable configuration files.

This feature is useful when you modify the contents of the configuration file but want to keep a copy of the original file available for reference.

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 Malfunctions After Exchange 2000 EDSLock Script Is Run

The Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 313807, XADM: Enhancing the Security of Exchange 2000 for the Exchange Domain Servers Group, describes how to obtain and use the Microsoft Exchange 2000 script called EDSLock, which restricts access granted to the Exchange Domain Servers groups in a forest. Running the EDSLock script in a forest that includes a Cisco Unity server will cause Cisco Unity to malfunction.

When you install Cisco Unity after you run the EDSLock script, Cisco Unity works properly because the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard sets the permissions on the message store services account that are necessary to counteract the effects of the EDSLock script on Cisco Unity.

You will need to rerun the Permissions wizard to update the permissions on the message store services account whenever you:

Run the EDSLock script after you install Cisco Unity.

Add an Exchange 2000 server to the forest and home mailboxes for Cisco Unity subscribers on that server.

Add a mailstore to an Exchange 2000 server and home mailboxes for Cisco Unity subscribers in that mailstore.

For more information, refer to the tech tip Cisco Unity Malfunctions After Running Exchange 2000 EDSLock Script, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_tech_note09186a00801463f3.shtml. For detailed information on the permissions set by the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard, refer to the Permissions wizard Help.

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 not supported. All system prompts are automatically deleted and replaced whenever you upgrade Cisco Unity, including maintenance upgrades.

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

When upgrading a Cisco Unity 3.(x) system to Cisco Unity version 4.(x), 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 Japanese and Mainland Mandarin Text to Speech

Japanese and Mainland Mandarin text to speech require specific language settings on the Cisco Unity server. For details, refer to the "Multiple Languages" chapter of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_administration_guides_list.html.

Limitations and Restrictions

Cisco Unity Bulk Import Wizard

When you run the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard, disable virus-scanning services on the Cisco Unity server and set the IDS Host Sensor Agent on the Cisco Unity server to run in On-Warning mode, if applicable. Otherwise, the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard may run slowly.

In addition, on Cisco Unity with Exchange systems, the Select Subscriber Data Import Option page of the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard does not explain what happens when the Use Existing Mailboxes and Windows Accounts option is used during the creation of AMIS, Bridge, or VPIM subscriber accounts by importing user data from a comma-separated value (CSV) file.

The Select Subscriber Data Import Option page should provide the following information:
"If you click Use Existing Mailboxes and Windows Accounts, consider that when you import existing Active Directory contacts or Exchange 5.5 custom recipients, the imported objects can no longer be used for outbound message addressing to remote e-mail addresses. They can be used for addressing voice messages to remote voice messaging systems however."

Digital Networking

The following limitations exist when more than one Cisco Unity server is integrated with a networked phone system. (On a networked phone system, subscribers can dial an extension rather than a full phone number when they call someone who is at another location on the phone network.)

Call Transfer Settings Unavailable

When calls are transferred from the automated attendant or directory assistance to subscribers not associated with the local server, the transfers are automatically handled by the phone system (release to switch)—rather than by Cisco Unity (supervised transfer)—even if these subscribers are set up for supervised transfers. In this case, the call screening, call holding, and announce features will not be available on these calls. If the discrepancy in behavior is a concern to subscribers, you may want to consider limiting directory handler searches to the local server by adjusting the setting on the Directory Handler Search Options page in the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Message Sender Is Unknown and Message Recipient Cannot Reply

When a subscriber places a phone call to another subscriber who is associated with a different Cisco Unity server, and the call is forwarded to voice mail, Cisco Unity cannot identify who left the message. That is, identified subscriber messaging does not work, and, instead, the message is handled as though it came from an unidentified caller. In this case, subscribers will notice the following limitations:

When the call is forwarded to voice mail, the internal greeting is not played to the subscriber leaving the message.

When the recipient listens to messages over the phone, the subscriber conversation cannot "announce" who the message is from (by playing the recorded voice name of the sending subscriber).

After listening to the message, the subscriber conversation does not allow the recipient to press the reply key and record a reply to the sender.

This is by design and there is no workaround.

Note, however, that the sending subscriber can be identified (which means the internal greeting will play, the subscriber conversation can announce who left the message, and the recipient can reply) in the following cases:

When a subscriber calls Cisco Unity, logs on as a subscriber, and sends a message, regardless of which Cisco Unity server the recipient is homed on.

When a subscriber places a phone call to another subscriber who is on the same Cisco Unity server, and the call is forwarded to voice mail. For identified subscriber messaging to work in this case, do not check the Subscribers Are Identified as Message Senders Only If They Log On check box on the Configuration > Settings page of the Cisco Unity Administrator. However, if the discrepancy in behavior is a concern to subscribers, you may want to consider disabling identified subscriber messaging systemwide.

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 supports only 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.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Subscriber Lookups Fail to Find Subscriber Names in Japanese

When a subscriber name is entered in Japanese on the Add Subscriber Page in the Cisco Unity Administrator on a fully localized Japanese version of Cisco Unity, callers cannot find the subscriber name by using directory assistance (pressing 555). In addition, subscribers cannot easily address messages to a subscriber with a Japanese name in spelling mode; instead, subscribers should address messages by using the subscriber extension.

When a subscriber name is entered in English on the Add Subscriber Page in the Cisco Unity Administrator on a fully localized Japanese version of Cisco Unity, callers can find subscriber names by using directory assistance, and subscribers can use spelling mode to address messages to other subscribers.

Alternatively, when the Play All Names feature is enabled for a directory handler and Cisco Unity plays all names listed in the directory, callers can find subscribers by using directory assistance. Subscribers still cannot easily address messages to a subscriber with a Japanese name in spelling mode, however.

Cisco Unity plays the names of subscribers for caller selection—rather than requiring the caller to search by spelled name—when the Play All Names check box is checked on the directory handler Profile page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. Cisco Unity automatically plays the names of all subscribers in the directory when either of the following conditions is true:

One to five subscriber names are listed in the directory.

There are more than five—but fewer than 51—subscriber names listed in the directory and the caller chooses to play all names listed in the directory.

Note that when there are more than 51 names in the directory, Cisco Unity requires that the caller search for a subscriber by spelled name.

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 2.4(6). For more information, refer to caveat CSCdx95644.

Unity crashes due to AvCsMgr virtual memory leak.

Symptom: Cisco Unity subscribers may hear failsafe conversation while accessing their voice mailbox. They may also see one or more of these errors in the application event log: Source: VBRuntime EventID: 1

Description: The VB Application identified by the event source logged this Application AvSubSetupUtilsENU: Thread ID: 5984,Logged: modPhraseUtilGeneral: ErrorGettingProperty: Error getting property: MailUserExtension Source: AvPhraseServer_MC EventID: 10002 Description: AvPhrase::Make - error returned from Make for PhraseServer [AvSubMsgCountENU], PhraseID [AnnounceMsgCount], Message [Invalid procedure call or argument], Return code [800A0005h]. Source: AvArbiter_MC EventID: 1020 Description: [Port 26] Failed routing a continued call to application [PHGreeting] with data object type [0]. Using Failsafe instead.

Condition: In Cisco Unity version 3.1.5/4.0.1, this may happen if the process AvCsMgr leaks virtual bytes. If the virtual bytes exceeds the recommended limits on an Unity system, the subscriber may possibly see unexpected system behavior and error events in the application event log. This happens only on high end systems with a high user/port number and under heavy call traffic.

Workaround: Restart the Unity server

Starting and Stopping Cisco Unity services causes Notes to hang.

Symptom: Cisco Unity for Domino fails to start. Or, Cisco Unity for Domino starts but is not operational.

Conditions: When Cisco Unity for Domino is stopped, interaction with the Lotus Notes subsystem may terminate incorrectly. Subsequently, starting Cisco Unity will fail to establish a working connection to Domino.

Workaround: Restart the Cisco Unity server.

CSCdz02639

The Cisco Unity Administrator does not display any links in the navigation panel on the left-hand side when someone accesses the Cisco Unity Administrator on a remote computer.

Condition: This can happen if the Cisco Unity Administrator of a remote machine is accessed from the local Cisco Unity server

Workaround

Right click the mouse in the left hand section in SA of the remote Unity server and click on "Refresh." The links should be displayed now

When using Text Pager Notification with Cisco Unity for Domino, when a new message arrives for a subscriber, Cisco Unity will continue to send notification messages even after the original message is retrieved.

Conditions:

Cisco Unity for Domino only. The Text Pager Notification feature is enabled and configured to a valid SMTP address.

Workaround:

None. To stop the notification messages from being sent, disable the feature from the Cisco Unity Administrator.

In failover systems that have an integration with a circuit-switched phone system, the primary server may fail over to the secondary server for no valid reason, and a warning is logged in the Event log on the secondary server that a call was received on the secondary server and hence it is failing over.

Condition:

This can happen randomly without a valid reason when the NewCallDelay setting in the registry on the secondary server is set to 1200ms.

Workaround:

Disable the new call delay timer and revert back to the old behavior of increasing the answer delay on the secondary server:

1. Set Miu\1.0\Initialization\New Call Delay on Inactive Backup Server = 0 in the registry.

2. In the switch file on the secondary server, set IncomingCallRings=3.

3. Restart the secondary server for the changes to take effect.

CSCdz22524

After a user forwards an email or fax message via the TUI, the user is told they have reached the end of their message stack even though they have more messages, and the failsafe conversation is heard. Also, the forwarded message is never delivered.

Conditions:

Cisco Unity for Domino only. This was only seen when the forward-via-TUI was attempted with an email or fax message that had already been forwarded.

Workaround:

None

In a multi-Cisco Unity server environment, the All Subscribers public distribution list has the same extension on all the Cisco Unity servers (99991). When subscribers try to address a message to the All Subscribers list, Cisco Unity finds one than one match and prompts subscribers to confirm addressing by playing, "For All Subscribers, press 1. For All Subscribers, press 2. For All Subscribers, press 3..."

In addition, the following error is logged in the event log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: CiscoUnity_ConvAddrSearch
Event Category: Error
Event ID: 111
Date: 11/8/2002
Time: 9:31:34 AM
User: N/A
Computer: MEDIAUNITY1
Description: Extension Conflict for Multiple Subscriber while searching for subscribers through the TUI. Technical details - [99991] on line 9712 in file:\views\cs_ue4.0.0.280\un_Conv3\AvConvUtilities\AvConvAddrSearchSvr\AvSAddrSearcher.cpp. For more information, click: http://www.CiscoUnitySupport.com/find.php

Workaround:

Modify the extensions for the All Subscribers list on each of the Cisco Unity servers in the network so each distribution list is assigned a unique extension.

When the Cisco Unity Setup Program is cancelled, and then rerun, the program runs in upgrade mode, and the UnityDb database is not created.

There is no workaround.

Cannot import Public Distribution Lists from Exchange 5.5 into Unity.

If you go to Public Distribution List in Unity and press Add, then choose Import, Find and Select Public Distribution List to Import. Choose Find by Alias, and the field to enter the Alias has an asterisk for wildcard searches. No matter what is entered, we see, "A Runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug? Line: 1062. Error: Expected ';' "and the Import fails.

Workaround

Because the org of the Exchange environment had quotes in it ("Cisco Systems Inc."), this will make the LDAP property distinguished Name also contain the quotes. Note that the distinguished Name is not the same name of the DL; the distinguished Name includes the name of the object, site, org, etc.... The point is that you don't need a special char like "in the name of the DL. Having it in the distinguished Name can cause this problem.

Cisco Unity stops taking calls while under load due to ports issue.

Symptom: When calling into Cisco Unity, Cisco Unity will not answer (keeps ringing). The Status Monitor port status page shows the ports are stuck in Subscriber Sign-in.

Conditions: This occurs only on Cisco Unity 4.0(2) for Domino when in an overload condition on large systems (72 ports.)

Workaround

Restart Unity services via the Tray Icon.

CSCea26526

If you unload a loaded language from the TUI Language settings in the Cisco Unity Administrator, this can lead to failsafe if the language loaded was set as the default and the OS regional language is set to something other than a language supported by Unity, or if - the language unloaded was set explicitly as the language to use instead of inherited.

There is no workaround.

Tools Depot fails to open if the message store is not configured. Tools Depot returns the following error because the message store is unknown, "Mailstore type returned as. This doesn't match a defined type. Exiting." The problem occurs in Cisco Unity version 4.0(1) or higher.

Workaround

Run Setup.exe, located in the \Configuration\Setup folder, to configure the mailstore. Tools Depot should open. If the mailstore can not be configured, for example when setting up failover, go directly to the executable you want to run and double-click it. Most of the tools that are installed with Cisco Unity can be found in the \Commserver\Utilities directory. For the Licensing Install Wizard, go to \Commserver\Utilities\Licensefilewizard\Licfilewiz.exe, and for the Service Configuration Wizard, go to \Commserver\Utilities\Serviceconfigwizard\Svcwiz.exe.

Unity plays failsafe and AvPhraseServer_MC errors in application log. Symptom: When a caller calls voicemail, the failsafe greeting is played. An AvPhraseServer_MC error is logged in the Application event log. Conditions: The failsafe prompt that is heard when 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 and 3.0(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 into a fix: per the Comments enclosure comment from 9/19/02, in order to fix this problem, 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.

Sometimes adding a new Restriction Table on the Restriction Table of the Unity System Administrator results in a run time error message. This error prevents the table information from appearing properly on the page. This usually only occurs the first time the administrator accesses the page.

Workaround:

Refreshing the browser page (clicking the refresh button or by pressing 'F5') will correct the information in the table.

Modify private list dialog needs NEXT button for large lists. Symptom: The dialog box for changing members of a subscriber's private list is able to present a selection of names based on match criteria. If a wildcard character such as * is used, and there is a large number of matching names, not all names will be available in the list box. In most SA screens where this can happen, a NEXT button is provided to get the next set of matching names. It appears that this convention is not used in this particular area of the SA. There will be no Next / Prove buttons for navigating the matches.

Conditions: Using Unity 2.4.6.102 & a database with several hundred subscribers, go to any subscriber's Private List page, click the button for change members, and use * for a wildcard search in the dialog box that appears. IMPORTANT: You must sort by DISPLAY NAME, this bug doesn't seem to happen with the other searches.

Workaround:

You can work around this problem by sorting the list with something other than display name.

Syscheck Setup Part II needs to verify acct is a domain acct.

Symptom: Syscheck displays the following errors during setup part II: "Domain - The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. Exchange 2000 - Unable to get basic ldap information." Condition: This occurs in Cisco Unity 3.0(X) and higher when you run setup part II with a local account instead of a domain account.

Workaround:

Log on by using a domain account with the appropriate rights before you run the Cisco Unity Server Configuration wizard."

UNITY:Setup Part 2 error regarding local admin group too vague

Configuration setup may fail with the error message `The selected user is not a member of the local administrator's group' incorrectly. Symptom: This is because setup runs several tests while checking for local administrator group membership. If any one of those tests fail they will all return the umbrella error "selected user is not a member of the local administrator's group". An account may actually be a member of the local administrator group but does not have a specific user right such as "Access this computer from the network".

Should not allow deleting an object that is a destination of links. Symptom: When Cisco Unity administrator tries to delete an object (call handler, subscriber, etc.) that is a destination of links in the System Administration, the delete object screen should not delete the object but it does. This results in creation of links that do not have their destination.

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.

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.

Last port on Dialogic D240T1 card locks up on outgoing notification. Symptom: Whenever the last port on each voice card is configured for outgoing notification the last port locks up on the first outdial. Lock up means the port enters the busy state and never exits. The only way to get the ports to exit the busy state is to reboot Unity. Attempting to reset the port from the SA or Status Monitor results in the SA and Status Monitor hanging. These utilities must then be terminated from the Task manager. Conditions: The affected system has Unity 3.1.3 on Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5. with a PBX integration and D/240T-1 cards.

Workaround

Line coding on the Intecom T1 card should be set to AMI rather than B8ZS. If AMI line coding is used and problem persists, disable the last port or configure it to only answer incoming calls.

When integrated with a Nortel Meridian via a PBXLink box, calls are randomly being sent to the opening greeting instead of subscriber mailboxes. Problem: 1) After a PBXLink box sends out a corrupt MWI on/off request, the very next incoming call has its call info stripped by the PBXLink box. When the call is handed to Cisco Unity, the call is routed to the opening greeting due to lack of call info. 2) After a caller connects with Cisco Unity and hangs up, subsequent calls may not have call info and thus will be routed to opening greeting.

Workaround:

For problem 1, dedicate a PBXLink box for MWIs, so that any PBXLink boxes that are processing incoming calls are not also processing MWIs. For problem 2, there is no workaround.

Syscheck make sure Unity install account belongs to build-in admin.

Symptom: Cisco Unity install program hangs with the taskbar indicating the install is almost finished if the option to install Dialogic DNA software is selected. The status of Unity install program in the TaskMgr indicates it is either not responding or still running and it will remain in this state indefinitely. If the Unity install program is stopped manually Cisco Unity will have been installed successfully but none of the Dialogic DNA software will have been.

Condition: Dialogic install seems to require the account under which the Dialogic DNA software is being installed be in the built-in administrators group. This may only be a problem with Active Directory because it uses an old 16-bit version of Installshield which was developed before Active Directory was released. In Unity 4.0.x, if CUICA is used properly, then running the Permissions wizard will assign the correct permissions to the Unity installer account, which is the same account that should be used to install the Dialogic software. As Cisco Unity install program suppresses all pop-up dialogue windows generated by the Dialogic install program and because the install programs has not run far enough to enable error logging there is no way to there are problems. Running Syscheck will not work because it does check to see if the account under which Cisco Unity is being installed is in the built-in Administrator's group. One way to verify this is to manually run the Dialogic Install program while logged on under the same account under which Cisco Unity was installed. The Dialogic install program will generate a pop-up dialogue window stating you must log on as the Local Administrator in order to proceed.

Workaround: No workaround is necessary if you are installing Unity 4.0.x, since CUICA will guide you through proper installer account permissions. Do not attempt to install the Dialogic DNA software manually after having installed Cisco Unity as this is not supported and leads to other problems when it comes to configuring the Dialogic Voice cards. Recommend making the built-in administrators group a member of the Domain Admins account. One way of doing this is: 1. Start up Active Directory and Users 2. Go to the OU Container in which the Domain Admins account is in 3. Double click the Domain Admins account 4. Click on the Members tab 5. Click on Add and add the built-in Administrator group account 6. Ensure the domain account under which Cisco Unity is being installed belongs to the Domain Admins account.

Unity does not prevent deletion of call handler message recipients. Problem: When deleting a subscriber or distribution list, 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 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.

Unity setup does not reinstall/reregister missing services. Symptom: After an upgrade to 3.1.5, some functions of Unity may not operate properly. For example, text-to-speech doesn't work, messages from PSTN callers are never delivered, event notifications aren't working. Problem: The service responsible for that non-functioning feature is no longer registered. Unity attempts to reregister the service, but is unsuccessful and gives no reasons why. If text-to-speech isn't working, check to see if the AvTTSSvr service exists in the Services Administrative Tool. If messages from PSTN callers aren't being delivered, check for the presence of the AvUMRSyncSvr. If event notifications aren't working, look to see if AvGaenSvr is registered. The following app event log is a tell-tale sign this is what is happening: Event Type: Error Event Source: AvCsServices_MC Event Category: Error Event ID: 1093 Date: 11/15/2002 Time: 12:35:31 PM User: N/A Computer: EVOICE-UNITY4 Description: Gateway: Failed to open service [AvUMRSyncSvr] [hr = 0x00000424]. This will be displayed for each service that isn't registered.

Workaround

Manually reregistering the services restores functionality. Open a DOS prompt, move into the CommServer directory, and issue the following command (where is the name of the service that has become unregistered). C:\CommServer> .exe -service The command should return without any output. Check the Services Administrative Tool to verify the service is now registered and running.

AMIS: Incoming AMIS calls fail when not routed to a call handler.

Symptom: Incoming AMIS transmissions to Cisco Unity fail.

Condition: When Cisco Unity call routing rules are configured to force all direct calls to go to a conversation (such as the Sign In conversation) and not to a call handler (such as the Opening Greeting call handler), incoming AMIS transmissions fail. This is because the Cisco Unity AMIS session is designed to initiate with a fourth column tone handshake during a call handler. When an incoming AMIS call is not routed to a call handler, then Cisco Unity does not recognize the "C" tone from the originating system and does not respond appropriately, so the transmission is terminated.

Workaround: For AMIS Networking to be properly configured, you need to ensure that all incoming AMIS calls are routed to a call handler. When Cisco Unity is initially installed, the call routing table routes calls to the Opening Greeting call handler, so it is properly configured for AMIS Networking. If the call routing table has been modified after installation, you need to make sure that a rule is in place in your call routing table to route any incoming AMIS calls to a call handler.

Insufficient registry permissions prevents user creation. If the account that the AvDSGlobalCatalog service is running under does not have Full Control over the following registry key and its subkeys, new users cannot be added to the system:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Active Voice\Directory Connectors\DirSynchGlobalCatalog

In Unity 3.0, the new subscriber creation window comes up with blank values for the Exchange server and mailstore.

Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to debug? Line 2030 Error: 'Servers GetServerByName (...)' is null or not an object."

In Unity 4.0, when the new subscriber creation window comes up, instead of showing the various fields to fill in, this error is displayed, "Error fetching MailStore list (for server SERVERNAME). hr=0x80005000. Check that the AVDSGlobalCatalog is registered and running. Please see your system administrator for more details."

In the Cisco Unity System Administrator, the 'Standard' transfer rule on the 'Call Transfer' page for the operator's call handler cannot be changed enabled or disabled. The HTML radio buttons are greyed out. Also, the status is always shows as 'enabled,' whether it is true or not.

Workaround:

The 'Standard' transfer rule is enabled by default. To disable the rule, use DohPropTest to edit the following property:

CallHandlers->operatorch->AVP_CONTACT_RULES->Standard->AVP_TIME_EXPIRES

When the rule is enabled, this property will not be set (it will have a value of 'empty'). If this value is set to a date and time, the rule will be disabled. An example of the date/time format can be copied from another rule (for example, 'Alternate') which is already disabled.

Calls to subscribers from the operator forward to the opening greeting instead of the subscriber voice mail.

Conditions:

Cisco Unity integrated with a Nortel PBX via a PBXLink SMDI integration. Although this problem was discovered and worked around in Cisco Unity 3.1.4, it would apply to any version of Cisco Unity integrating with a Nortel. It is also important in this scenario that the operator extension is 0.

Workaround:

The solution to the problem is a change to the PBXLink box using the following menu option: Configuration \ SMDI Option \ CPID Mask.The CPID mask should be set to 10 zeros. Refresh it by typing 10 consecutive zeros and saving the change. This should reinitialize the placeholder and get rid of the blank spaces. This solution may require you to refresh the cpid mask twice. So if it does not work the first time, follow the above steps and do it a second time.

Cisco Unity Bulk Import (CUBI) wizard: License check should not apply to subs without mailbox.

Symptom: Cisco Unity Bulk Import Wizard reports Out of licenses. Only allowed to select subscribers for import. when importing VPIM, AMIS, Bridge or Internet subscribers. VPIM, AMIS, Bridge and Internet subscribers should not require a license.

This occurs with Cisco Unity 4.0(1) and 4.0(2) when using the Cisco Unity Bulk Import Wizard to import VPIM, AMIS, Bridge or Internet subscribers from.csv file where the number of records to import exceeds the number of available licenses on the Unity server. For Cisco Unity 4.0(1) this applies to both user and VMI licenses. For Cisco Unity 4.0(2) it only applies to VMI licenses.

Workaround

Cisco Unity subscriber licenses are not required for VPIM, AMIS, Bridge or Internet subscribers and will not be enforced once created. When the error appears at the selection screen indicating there are not enough licenses, reduce the selection to the number of records equal to or less than the number of available licenses and complete the import. The number of available licenses will not be decreased when completed. Run subsequent iterations of the import wizard to import the remaining records, each time selecting the number of records to import equal to or less than the number of available Cisco Unity subscriber licenses on the server.

Partial MAPI Notification outage breaks MWI.

Symptom: MWIs and Message Notification fail for a particular subscriber, and no MAPI table add or modified notifications are generated (Microtrace Exchange Monitor 13) when a new message is left for the subscriber. Sometimes, delete notifications are not generated for the subscriber either.

Conditions: Any Unity version; seen so far in Exchange 2000, but the possibility in Exchange 5.5 is unknown.

Workaround

Re-register the problem subscriber for MAPI notification with the following procedure

a. From Tools Depot, open the Bulk Logout utility.

b. Find the problem subscriber by extension number, and click Log Out Subscriber.

c. Then click Resynch Subscriber.

This procedure can be done for many subscribers at once by adding each one to the list, then performing Log Out and Resynch for all of them. In Cisco Unity version 3.1(5) and later, all users can be re-registered at once by stopping and starting the AvMsgStoreMonitor service. Note: A problem subscriber can not be re-registered for MAPI notification by a simple MWI refresh from the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Call transfer is set to send callers to the subscriber greeting with the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard. When importing users from exchange from the SA page in Unity, in the SA settings for the subscribers the call transfer settings automatically revert to Yes, Ring Subscriber Extension, not Send To Subscriber's Greeting. Therefore when a non subscriber rings Unity he will hear the opening greeting (e.g. welcome to unity, from a touchtone telephone, you may dial an extension at any time). Dialing the extension will then ring the phone, you won't be forwarded into the greeting. So far so good.

When importing users from the Cisco Unity Bulk Import (CUBI) wizard (start/programs/Unity/Bulk Import Tool), intermittently the call transfer settings for the new subscriber are set to send to subscriber's greeting as opposed to Yes, ring subscriber extension changing the Call Transfer settings from send to subscriber's greeting to Yes, ring subscriber extension does not take effect (so after transferring the call the call will be transferred into the mail box of the subscriber instead of ringing the extension)

Workaround

Set the Call Transfer settings to Yes, ring subscriber at this number and then changing it back to yes, ring subscriber's extension.

Message Notification to work phone can cause failover to occur.

Symptom: In a failover environment, the secondary server becomes active for no apparent reason. Conditions: In a legacy failover environment, if a subscriber sets up message delivery to their work phone, and their work phone is set to forward no answer to VM. When a Unity port calls a work phone to notify the user of new messages, and the user does not answer, the call is forwarded to VM. The receiving VM port does not answer the call because Unity identifies the caller as another VM port (by default Unity does not answer calls from other VM ports to prevent one Unity port leaving a message for another). After three rings the failover server receives the incoming call and if configured to become active when it receives a call, failover occurs, needless to say the secondary does not answer this call either, but the secondary server is now the active server.

Workaround:

Disable Message Notification or do not configure failover to occur when the secondary server receives a call.

Stop recording option under Configuration in SA ambiguous. Problem: Under Configuration > Recordings in SAWeb, the option for Stop Recording after how many seconds? is ambiguous. Does this mean Unity will stop recording a message after two seconds (the default for this setting)?

Workaround

None. This setting actually means that Unity will stop recording after X seconds *of silence*.

Symptom: Cisco Unity hangs when CUSPA is stopping Cisco Unity services for the Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000 install.

Condition: Cisco Unity 4.x is already installed and running when CUSPA attempts to stop Cisco Unity for the Service Pack 3 install.

Workaround

From a command prompt, go to the \Commserver directory and run kill -f av*. The Unity services should finish stopping and CUSPA will continue the installation of Service Pack 3.

Call handlers created with invalid owner and recipient. When creating a call handler in 4.0(1) or the upcoming 4.0(2) release, both the owner and recipient values are always invalid. This results in the customer getting sent to failsafe when they access the handler over the phone.

Condition: The owner is not required in Unity unless you want to change the greeting for that handler from over the phone. The recipient, however, is always required to be a valid subscriber or distribution list. In 4.x this gets set to the installer account many times because it defaults to the user who authenticated in the SA.

Workaround

Always select the recipient on the call handler creation page before it's actually created.

Cisco Unity does not play voice messages - it jumps directly to the message footer after the message header. Also, the message waiting indicator (MWI) on the subscriber phone flashes on, then turns off spontaneously.

The subscriber workstation had the third-party product Command Anti-Virus for Windows installed. This product uses a MAPI scanner that sets the MAPI property AVP_MESSAGE_TYPE to 0 for voice messages. Setting this value prevents Cisco Unity from recognizing voice messages.

Workaround

Uninstall Command AntiVirus for Windows. Cisco does not support this product on subscriber workstations.

Refer to the "Unsupported Third-Party Software" section of the 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_pre_installation_guides_list.html.

Unity Text-To-Speech feature does not "read" the From field when subscribers play their emails over the phone. Although the feature is designed this way to enhance TTS performance, this is regarded as a problem by customers because Cisco Unity does not identify the sender when it is someone who is not a Cisco Unity subscriber. When the message is from a subscriber, Cisco Unity either plays the name--if one is recorded, or the extension for that subscriber.

There is no workaround. The feature works as designed.

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.

Obtaining License Files for Additional Features: Cisco Unity Installation Guide

The "Obtaining Cisco Unity License Files" section in the "Modifying the Cisco Unity 4.0 System" chapter of the Cisco Unity Installation Guide, Release 4.0(x) incorrectly instructs you to use the product authorization key (PAK) listed in the Cisco Unity Software Keys booklet that is shipped with the software discs.

Instead, when you provide registration information on Cisco.com, you use the PAK from the claim certificate that Cisco sent when the additional features were purchased.

Changes

This section lists changes to the current Cisco Unity documentation. The changed information will be incorporated in a future documentation release, or as otherwise noted.

Creating an Integration for a Circuit-Switched Phone System: Cisco Unity Integration Guides

Determining the Cause of Failover or Failback: Cisco Unity Failover Configuration and Administration Guide

The table in the section "Determining the Cause of Failover and Failback" of the Cisco Unity Failover Configuration and Administration Guide should include the following information in the last row (the primary server has event ID 1048, and the secondary server has event ID 1050, 1047, and CiscoUnity_Miu 542) for the causes of failover or failback:

A caller dialed the extension of a voice messaging port in the secondary server and the Force Failover If Call Arrives on Inactive Secondary check box is checked in the Failover Monitor, causing failover to occur.

(Circuit-switched phone systems) For phone systems that use a linear hunt group (the hunt group starts searching always with the same voice messaging port), an unintended failover may occur when the Force Failover If Call Arrives on Inactive Secondary check box is checked in the Failover Monitor. With this configuration, if a call to Cisco Unity is terminated either before being answered or within a few seconds after being answered by the primary server, the phone system may route a second call immediately to the same port causing the secondary server to count rings from both calls as a single call thus triggering failover.

This cause can be eliminated by setting up a "guard timer" (a timer that enforces a minimum interval between consecutive calls sent to a given port) on the phone system. This timer may not be available on all phone systems.

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.

Installing a 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

2 RealSpeak text-to-speech (TTS) sessions

10 mailboxes for one of the following subscriber types:

Unified Messaging (UM) subscribers

Voice Messaging (VM) 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:

UM feature package

50 UM subscribers with 16 sessions

2 RealSpeak text-to-speech (TTS) sessions

2 languages

AMIS

4 voice messaging ports

VM feature package

50 VM subscribers with 16 sessions

Technical Assistance Center

The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two types of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center. The type of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.

We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:

Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration. There is little or no impact to your business operations.

Priority level 3 (P3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco are willing to commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority level 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively impacted by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority level 1 (P1)—An existing network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Cisco TAC Website

The Cisco TAC website provides online documents and tools to help troubleshoot and resolve technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. To access the Cisco TAC website, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website. Some services on the Cisco TAC website require a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC website, you can open a case online at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases online so that you can fully describe the situation and attach any necessary files.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.

When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
