Requirements
The Avaya S8700 integration supports configurations of the following components:
Phone System
•An Avaya S8300, Avaya S8500, or Avaya S8700 phone system.
•Software version Communication Manager 2.0.
•One or more of the applicable PIMG units. For details, refer to the "Supported Circuit-Switched Phone System Integrations" section in the applicable Supported Hardware and Software, and Support Policies at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
•The voice messaging ports in the phone system connected by digital lines to the ports on the PIMG units.
We recommend that you connect the voice messaging ports on the phone system to the ports on the PIMG units in a planned manner to simplify troubleshooting. For example, the first phone system voice messaging port connects to the first port on the first PIMG unit, the second phone system voice messaging port connects to the second port on the first PIMG unit, and so on.
•The PIMG units connected to the same LAN or WAN that Cisco Unity is connected to.
•If the PIMG units connect to a WAN, the requirements for the WAN network connections are:
–For G.729a codec formatting, a minimum of 32.76 Kbps guaranteed bandwidth for each voice messaging port.
–For G.711 codec formatting, a minimum of 91.56 Kbps guaranteed bandwidth for each voice messaging port.
–No network devices that implement network address translation (NAT).
–A maximum 200 ms network latency.
•The phone system ready for the integration, as described in the documentation for the phone system.
Cisco Unity Server
•Cisco Unity installed and ready for the integration, as described in the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
•A license that enables the applicable number of voice messaging ports.
Integration Description
The Avaya S8700 PIMG integration sends call information and voice connections through the digital lines, which connect the phone system to the PIMG units. The PIMG units communicate with the Cisco Unity server through the LAN or WAN by using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Figure 1 shows the required connections.
Figure 1 Connections Between the Phone System and Cisco Unity
Call Information
The phone system sends the following information with forwarded calls:
•The extension of the called party
•The extension of the calling party (for internal calls) or the phone number of the calling party (if it is an external call and the system uses caller ID)
•The reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set to forward all calls)
Cisco Unity uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example, a call forwarded to Cisco Unity is answered with the personal greeting of the subscriber. If the phone system routes the call to Cisco Unity without this information, Cisco Unity answers with the opening greeting.
Integration Functionality
The Avaya S8700 integration with Cisco Unity provides the following integration features:
•Call forward to personal greeting
•Call forward to busy greeting
•Caller ID
•Easy message access (a subscriber can retrieve messages without entering an ID because Cisco Unity identifies the subscriber based on the extension from which the call originated; a password may be required)
•Identified subscriber messaging (Cisco Unity identifies the subscriber who leaves a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension from which the call originated)
•Message waiting indication (MWI)
Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems
Depending on the version, Cisco Unity can be integrated with two or more phone systems:
•Cisco Unity 4.0 and 4.1 can be integrated with a maximum of two phone systems at one time. For information on and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity with two phone systems, refer to the Dual Phone System Integration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_configuration_guide09186a0080211b2e.html.
•Cisco Unity 4.2 and later can be integrated with two or more phone systems at one time. For information on the maximum supported combinations and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity with multiple phone systems, refer to the Multiple Phone System Integration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_configuration_guide09186a00806192a3.html.
Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity
Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity. The following considerations will affect the programming for the phone system (for example, setting up the hunt group or call forwarding for the voice messaging ports):
•The number of voice messaging ports installed.
•The number of voice messaging ports that will answer calls.
•The number of voice messaging ports that will only dial out, for example, to send message notification, to set message waiting indicators (MWIs), to make AMIS deliveries, and to make telephone record and playback (TRAP) connections.
The following table describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity that can be set in UTIM, and that are displayed as read-only text on the System > Ports page of the Cisco Unity Administrator.
Table 1 Settings for the Voice Messaging Ports
Field
|
Considerations
|
Extension
|
Enter the extension for the port as assigned on the phone system.
|
Enabled
|
Check this check box to enable the port. The port is enabled during normal operation.
Uncheck this check box to disable the port. When the port is disabled, calls to the port get a ringing tone but are not answered. Typically, the port is disabled only by the installer during testing.
|
Answer Calls
|
Check this check box to designate the port for answering calls. These calls can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from subscribers.
|
Message Notification
|
Check this check box to designate the port for notifying subscribers of messages. Assign Message Notification to the least busy ports.
|
Dialout MWI
(not used by serial or SMDI integrations)
|
Check this check box to designate the port for turning MWIs on and off. Assign Dialout MWI to the least busy ports.
|
AMIS Delivery
(available with the AMIS licensed feature only)
|
Check this check box to designate the port for making outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. Cisco Unity supports the Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) protocol, which provides an analog mechanism for transferring voice messages between different voice messaging systems.
This setting affects outbound AMIS calls only. All ports are used for incoming AMIS calls.
Because the transmission of outgoing AMIS messages may tie up voice ports for long periods of time, you may want to adjust the schedule on the Network > AMIS > Schedule page so that outgoing AMIS calls are placed during closed hours or at times when Cisco Unity is not processing many calls.
|
TRAP Connection
|
Check this check box so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients. Assign TRAP Connection to the least busy ports.
|
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports to Install
The number of voice messaging ports to install depends on numerous factors, including:
•The number of calls Cisco Unity will answer when call traffic is at its peak.
•The expected length of each message that callers will record and that subscribers will listen to.
•The number of subscribers.
•The number of ports that will be set to dial out only.
•The number of calls made for message notification.
•The number of MWIs that will be activated when call traffic is at its peak.
•The number of AMIS delivery calls.
•The number of TRAP connections needed when call traffic is at its peak. (TRAP connections are used by Cisco Unity web applications to play back and record over the phone.)
•The number of calls that will use the automated attendant and call handlers when call traffic is at its peak.
It is best to install only the number of voice messaging ports that are needed so that system resources are not allocated to unused ports.
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Answer Calls
The calls that the voice messaging ports answer can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from subscribers. Typically, the voice messaging ports that answer calls are the busiest.
You can set voice messaging ports to both answer calls and to dial out (for example, to send message notifications). However, when the voice messaging ports perform more than one function and are very active (for example, answering many calls), the other functions may be delayed until the voice messaging port is free (for example, message notifications cannot be sent until there are fewer calls to answer). For best performance, dedicate certain voice messaging ports for only answering incoming calls, and dedicate other ports for only dialing out. Separating these port functions eliminates the possibility of a collision, in which an incoming call arrives on a port at the same time that Cisco Unity takes the port off-hook to dial out.
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Only Dial Out, and Not Answer Calls
Ports that will only dial out and will not answer calls can do one or more of the following:
•Notify subscribers by phone, pager, or e-mail of messages that have arrived.
•Turn MWIs on and off for subscriber extensions.
•Make outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. (This action is available only with the AMIS licensed feature.)
•Make a TRAP connection so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications.
Typically, these voice messaging ports are the least busy ports.
Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Dialout MWI, do not send calls to it.
Preparing for Programming the Phone System
Record your decisions about the voice messaging ports to guide you in programming the phone system.
Programming the Avaya S8700 Phone System
If you use programming options other than those supplied in the following procedure, the performance of the integration may be affected.
Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Dialout MWI, do not send calls to it.
Do the following procedure.
To Program the Avaya S8700 Phone System
Step 1 Create a coverage path which contains the PIMG unit hunt group number as the coverage point.
Step 2 Assign the coverage path that you created in Step 1 to the user stations that must forward to the voice messaging ports on the PIMG units when calls are not answered or when the user station is busy, based on one of the Cisco Unity call transfer types shown in Table 2.
Table 2 Call Transfer Types
Transfer Type
|
Usage
|
Release transfer
(blind transfer)
|
Program the user station to forward calls to the pilot number when:
•The extension is busy.
•The call is not answered.
|
Supervised transfer
|
Program the user station to forward calls to the pilot number only when the call is not answered (on the phone system, the number of rings before forwarding must be more than the number of rings to supervise the call). Confirm that call forwarding is disabled when the extension is busy.
|
Step 3 Use the Add Station <extension number> command (for example, Add Station 2999) to assign an extension number for each voice messaging port, which is a digital line that connects to the PIMG unit. Set the voice messaging port options (Table 3) and button assignments (Table 4), and press Enter.
Note We recommend that you distribute the voice messaging ports among multiple phone system line cards so that call processing can continue even if a line card becomes inactive.

Step 5 Enter the group member assignments for the voice messaging ports that will answer calls and press Enter.
If you plan to set the voice messaging ports to either answer calls or to dial out (for example, to set MWIs), make sure that you include in the hunt group only the voice messaging ports that will be set to answer calls.
For smaller systems, include in the hunt group all voice messaging ports when the ports will be set to both answer calls and dial out (for example, to set MWIs).
Note You can use alternate extensions to create multiple line appearances, enable easy message access from cell phones, and simplify addressing messages to subscribers at different locations in Cisco Unity. Enabling alternate MWIs allows Cisco Unity to turn MWIs on at more than one extension. For details, see the "Appendix: Using Alternate Extensions and MWIs" section.

Step 16 At the prompt to restart the Cisco Unity services, click Yes. The Cisco Unity services restart.
Alternatively, you can restart the Cisco Unity services in UTIM on the Tools menu by clicking Restart Cisco Unity.
To Enter the Voice Messaging Port Settings for the Integration
Step 1 After the Cisco Unity services restart, on the View menu, click Refresh.
Step 2 In the left pane of the UTIM window, expand the phone system integration that you are creating.
Step 3 In the left pane, click the name of the first PIMG unit.
Step 4 In the right pane, click the Ports tab.
Step 5 Enter the settings shown in Table 20 for the voice messaging ports.
For best performance, use the first voice messaging ports for incoming calls and the last ports to dial out. This helps minimize the possibility of a collision, in which an incoming call arrives on a port at the same time that Cisco Unity takes the port off-hook to dial out.
Caution In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice messaging port is set only to Message Notification, do not send calls to it.

Considerations
|
Extension
|
Enter the extension for the port as assigned on the phone system.
|
Enabled
|
Check this check box to enable the port. The port is enabled during normal operation.
Uncheck this check box to disable the port. When the port is disabled, calls to the port get a ringing tone but are not answered. Typically, the port is disabled only by the installer during testing.
|
Answer Calls
|
Check this check box to designate the port for answering calls. These calls can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from subscribers.
|
Message Notification
|
Check this check box to designate the port for notifying subscribers of messages. Assign Message Notification to the least busy ports.
|
Dialout MWI
(not used by serial or SMDI integrations)
|
Check this check box to designate the port for turning MWIs on and off. Assign Dialout MWI to the least busy ports.
|
AMIS Delivery
(available with the AMIS licensed feature only)
|
Check this check box to designate the port for making outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. Cisco Unity supports the Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) protocol, which provides an analog mechanism for transferring voice messages between different voice messaging systems.
This setting affects outbound AMIS calls only. All ports are used for incoming AMIS calls.
Because the transmission of outgoing AMIS messages may tie up voice ports for long periods of time, you may want to adjust the schedule on the Network > AMIS > Schedule page so that outgoing AMIS calls are placed during closed hours or at times when Cisco Unity is not processing many calls.
|
TRAP Connection
|
Check this check box so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients. Assign TRAP Connection to the least busy ports.

Step 6 Click Save.
Step 7 Click the SIP Info tab.
Step 8 (Cisco Unity 4.2 and later) Uncheck the Register with SIP Server check box and click Save.
(Cisco Unity 4.0 and 4.1) Uncheck the Register with Proxy Server check box and click Save.
Step 9 At the prompt to restart the Cisco Unity services, click No.
Step 10 Repeat Step 3 through Step 9 for all remaining PIMG units.
Step 11 In the left pane, click Properties for the phone system.
Step 12 In the right pane, click the PIMG tab.
Step 13 Under Set Messaging Waiting Indicators (MWI) Using This Method, click In-Band with Port Memory.
Step 14 Click Save.
Step 15 At the prompt to restart the Cisco Unity services, click Yes.
Step 16 After the Cisco Unity services restart, exit UTIM.
Caution Do not edit the phone configuration file (also known as the switch ini file) to customize this integration. If you change the settings in this file, the integration may not function correctly.
Note If your recording volume needs adjusting, you can change the recording gain for the PIMG units. For instructions, see the "Appendix: Adjusting the Recording Gain for PIMG Units" section.
Testing the Integration
To test whether Cisco Unity and the phone system are integrated correctly, do the following procedures in the order listed.
If any of the steps indicate a failure, refer to the following documentation as applicable:
•The installation guide for the phone system.
•Cisco Unity Troubleshooting Guide, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_troubleshooting_guides_list.html.
•The setup information earlier in this guide.
To Set Up the Test Configuration
Step 1 Set up two test extensions (Phone 1 and Phone 2) on the same phone system that Cisco Unity is connected to.
Step 2 Set Phone 1 to forward calls to the Cisco Unity pilot number when calls are not answered.
Caution The phone system must forward calls to the Cisco Unity pilot number in no fewer than four rings. Otherwise, the test may fail.
