Installing Optional Software


In this chapter, you do the following tasks in the order listed:

1. Install RSA SecurID, if applicable. See the "Installing RSA SecurID" section.

2. Install Symantec pcAnywhere, if applicable. See the "Installing Symantec pcAnywhere" section.

3. Install other optional software, if applicable. See the "Installing Other Optional Software" section.


Caution Do not install Outlook on the Cisco Unity server, or Cisco Unity may not notify subscribers of new messages.

When you are finished with this chapter, return to "Overview of Mandatory Tasks for Installing Cisco Unity" to continue installing the Cisco Unity system.


Note The tasks in the list reference detailed instructions in the Cisco Unity installation guide and in other Cisco Unity documentation. Follow the documentation for a successful installation.


Installing RSA SecurID

For supported versions of RSA SecurID, refer to Cisco Unity 4.0 System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/sysreq/40_sysrq.htm.

Follow the manufacturer instructions to install RSA SecurID.

The "Overview of Mandatory Tasks for Installing Cisco Unity" alerts you when to configure RSA SecurID later in the installation process.

Installing Symantec pcAnywhere

For supported versions of Symantec pcAnywhere, refer to Cisco Unity 4.0 System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/sysreq/40_sysrq.htm.

Follow the manufacturer instructions to install pcAnywhere. See also the "Recommended Configuration for pcAnywhere" section, below.

The remote-access software can be installed on the Cisco Unity server in addition to Windows Terminal Services (which is the default remote-access software for the Cisco Unity server and is included with Windows 2000). Use an external modem with pcAnywhere.

Recommended Configuration for pcAnywhere

We recommend that you do the following three procedures in the order listed to configure pcAnywhere to avoid video problems, screen-refresh problems, and a possible problem with the server not responding after pcAnywhere disconnects.

To Configure pcAnywhere So That It Does Not Start Automatically When You Restart the Server


Step 1 On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Symantec pcAnywhere.

Step 2 In the pcAnywhere toolbar, click Hosts.

Step 3 Right-click the Modem icon or the host that is configured for a modem, and click Properties.

Step 4 In the pcAnywhere Host Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab.

Step 5 In the Host Startup section, uncheck the Launch with Windows check box.

Step 6 Click OK to close the pcAnywhere Host Properties dialog box.


To avoid a pcAnywhere video problem, we recommend that you change the pcAnywhere video mode. (The problem is described in Symantec Knowledge Base article 2001040615242112.)

To Change the pcAnywhere Video Mode to Compatibility


Step 1 In pcAnywhere, on the pcAnywhere Tools menu, click Options.

Step 2 On the Host Operation tab, under Video Mode Selection, click Compatibility.

Step 3 Click OK.

Step 4 Exit pcAnywhere.


To avoid a pcAnywhere problem with slow or partial screen refreshes on multiprocessor host computers, and a possible problem in which the host computer stops responding when pcAnywhere disconnects, we recommend that you add a registry entry that sets pcAnywhere to run on one or more specific processors. (The problem is described in Symantec Knowledge Base article 199861984643.)

Be aware that setting pcAnywhere to run on a specific processor may affect performance on the Cisco Unity server if someone uses pcAnywhere to access the server during peak hours.

To Set pcAnywhere to Run on One or More Specific Processors


Step 1 Start Regedit.


Caution Changing the wrong registry key or entering an incorrect value can cause the server to malfunction. Before you edit the registry, confirm that you know how to restore it if a problem occurs. (Refer to the "Restoring" topics in Registry Editor Help.) Note that registry changes on one server in a Cisco Unity failover pair must be made manually on the other server, because registry changes are not replicated. If you have any questions about changing registry key settings, contact Cisco TAC.

Step 2 If you do not have a current backup of the registry, click Registry > Export Registry File, and save the registry settings to a file.

Step 3 Expand the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\Host

Step 4 Add a DWORD value named ProcessorMask, and set the value depending on which processor you want to use (for example, to make pcAnywhere run on the second processor only, set ProcessorMask to 2):

0

All processors

1

First processor

2

Second processor

4

Third processor

8

Fourth processor


To allow pcAnywhere to run on more than one processor, set the value of ProcessorMask to the sum of the corresponding values. (For example, to make pcAnywhere run on the third and fourth processors, set ProcessorMask to 12 [4 + 8].)

Step 5 Either stop and restart the pcAnywhere host service, or restart the Cisco Unity server.


Installing Other Optional Software

For information on supported software, refer to Cisco Unity 4.0 System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_unity/sysreq/40_sysrq.htm.

Follow the manufacturer instructions to install other optional software.


Caution Do not install Outlook on the Cisco Unity server, or Cisco Unity may not notify subscribers of new messages.
