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 12-19 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.

We recommend that no more than four circuits per Optiset line card be used for MWI dial-out 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 Message Notification, do not send calls to it.

Table 12-19 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

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 Uncheck the Register with SIP 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 "Adjusting the Recording Gain for PIMG Units" appendix.
