Active Directory Schema Extensions Required for Cisco Unity with Exchange
Several Cisco Unity-specific attributes, an Aux class, and a Structural class were added to Avdirmonex2k.ldf, and the schema was extended in ways that will reduce the need for further schema extensions in the future. For more information, see the white paper Cisco Unity Data and the Directory (All Versions with Microsoft Exchange) at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_white_papers_list.html. For Omnigateway.ldf (Bridge Connector) and Vpimgateway.ldf (VPIM Connector), only the version number was changed. However, if the Active Directory schema was extended for Bridge Networking and/or VPIM Networking in the past and you do not extend the schema with the corresponding Cisco Unity 5.0(1) changes, the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard will not let you proceed. The 5.0(1) extensions must be applied to the Active Directory schema when installing or upgrading to Cisco Unity 5.0(1):
When installing a new Cisco Unity 5.0(1) server, the new schema extensions are applied as part of the schema update you perform during the installation process, as described in the Cisco Unity installation guide. When upgrading a Cisco Unity server to version 5.0(1), the schema updates must be applied at a specific point during the upgrade process. Follow the instructions in the Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unity that apply to your upgrade situation.
Note that the changes are backward compatible with earlier versions of Cisco Unity. If you have multiple servers connected through Digital Networking, you can apply the required schema updates in order to upgrade one Cisco Unity server to 5.0(1) even if other servers continue to run earlier versions of Cisco Unity. You can also apply the schema extensions well in advance of upgrading the first server to Cisco Unity 5.0(1). For a list of Cisco Unity version combinations that are supported for networked Cisco Unity servers, refer to the Digital Networking Requirements for Cisco Unity with Exchange section of Networking Options Requirements for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Cisco Unity with Domino: Lotus Domino 6.0 and Notes 6.0 Are Not Supported for New Installs of Cisco Unity 5.0(1)
On the IBM website, the document End of Service (EOS) of Lotus Notes and Domino 6.0.x indicates that Lotus Notes 6.0.x and Lotus Domino 6.0.x are end of service effective April 30, 2007. As a result, for new Cisco Unity 5.0(1) systems, you cannot install Lotus Notes 6.0.x on the Cisco Unity 5.0(1) server, and you cannot home Cisco Unity 5.0(1) subscriber mailboxes on a Lotus Domino 6.0.x server. However, if you are upgrading from Cisco Unity 4.x to Cisco Unity 5.0(1), you do not need to upgrade Notes or Domino.
Exchange 2007 is supported as the message store only when Cisco Unity is configured as Unified Messaging. Throughout the Cisco Unity documentation, procedures that are done on Exchange servers are different for Exchange 2007. The corresponding Exchange 2007 procedure is provided in the applicable locations. During installation, if you choose an Exchange 2007 server as the partner Exchange server, you must configure offline address books for Outlook 2003 and earlier regardless of which version(s) of Outlook you are using, or Cisco Unity will not function properly. The Cisco Unity installation guide explains the process in greater detail. During installation, if you choose an Exchange 2007 server as the partner Exchange server, you must stop during the Message Store Configuration wizard, run scripts on the Exchange 2007 server to create default Active Directory accounts and Exchange mailboxes, and return to the Cisco Unity server to complete the Message Store Configuration wizard. The Cisco Unity installation guide explains the process in greater detail. The Cisco Unity Voice Connector for Microsoft Exchange, which is required for communicating with another voice-messaging system using AMIS, the Cisco Unity Bridge, or VPIM, can only be installed on an Exchange 2000 or an Exchange 2003 server. A Voice Connector is not currently available for Exchange 2007. If the customer has already configured a pure Exchange 2007 environment, an Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 server cannot be added to the environment and, therefore, Cisco Unity functionality that requires the Voice Connector is not available. You cannot use Cisco Unity tools to create mailboxes in Exchange 2007:
You cannot use Cisco Unity Administrator or Cisco Unity Bulk Import to create Exchange 2007
mailboxes. If you want to create Cisco Unity subscribers whose mailboxes are homed in Exchange 2007, you must create the corresponding Active Directory accounts and Exchange mailboxes first, then create the subscribers by importing their Active Directory data. See the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity for information on how to create subscribers by importing data from Active Directory.
If you are migrating or recovering a system using the Cisco Unity Disaster Recovery tools
(DiRT) and if mailboxes are homed on Exchange 2007, the mailboxes must exist before the restore. DiRT cannot create mailboxes in Exchange 2007.
You cannot use BellHop to provide hospitality/PMS functionality when Exchange 2007 is the
Cisco Unity Mobile Message Access for BlackBerry is not supported for Exchange 2007. Exchange 2007 transport rules are not applied to Cisco Unity voice messages. Integrated messaging via IMAP with Exchange 2007 is supported when Cisco Unity voice messages are stored in Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003. With Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, you can store e-mail messages in one Exchange message store, store Cisco Unity voice messages in another message store, and view both types of messages in a Microsoft Outlook Inbox. In this configuration, known as integrated messaging, you:
Configure Outlook to use MAPI to communicate with the message store that contains e-mail
(MAPI is required because the e-mail message store commonly also contains calendars and contacts).
Configure Outlook to use IMAP to communicate with the message store that contains
Cisco Unity voice messages. (Outlook only supports one MAPI connection at a time.)
Enable Exchange rich-text format on Exchange servers, which converts IMAP to
TNEF-encoded IMAP. (If you do not enable rich-text format, voice messages appear in the Outlook Inbox as e-mail messages, so ViewMail for Outlook is not available.) Exchange 2007 does not support TNEF-encoded IMAP, but you can still use an integrated messaging configuration with Exchange 2007 if you store e-mail in Exchange 2007 and store Cisco Unity voice messages in Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003.

Cisco Unity Voice Connector for Microsoft Exchange 2003/2000 Version 12.0(1)
Voice Connector for Exchange 2000 12.0(1) is qualified for use with Cisco Unity version 5.0(1). For information on the Voice Connector, refer to Release Notes for Cisco Unity Voice Connector for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Release 12.0(1) at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.
11
We recommend that you use the latest version of the Voice Connector that is supported for your version of Cisco Unity. If you call Cisco TAC with a problem related to networking, the Cisco TAC engineer may require that you upgrade to a newer supported version of the Voice Connector, if one is available. For the most current compatibility information, refer to Networking Options Requirements for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
If Exchange is the message store, Cisco Unity failover supports connections when the primary and secondary servers are separated by a firewall. However, the primary server cannot be separated by a firewall from:
The partner Exchange server. The domain controller that Cisco Unity monitors for directory updates. The global catalog server that Cisco Unity monitors for directory updates. The global catalog server with which the Cisco Unity MAPI client communicates.
In addition, the partner Exchange server cannot be separated by a firewall from the domain controllers and the global catalog server that the partner server communicates with. Cisco Unity failover was designed with the expectation that the primary server would generally be the active server. When Exchange is the message store and the secondary server is separated from any of the listed servers by a firewall, the secondary server must be used as the active server only for brief periods. The problem with the primary server must be resolved promptly, and the primary server must be made the active server again at the earliest opportunity. If IBM Lotus Domino is the message store, the Cisco Unity servers cannot be separated by a firewall from:
One another. The Domino message store servers. The domain controller on which the Cisco Unity installation and services accounts were created.
If the system includes a Cisco Unity voice recognition server, the primary and secondary Cisco Unity servers must be on the same side of the firewall as the Cisco Unity voice recognition server. For details on the TCP/UDP ports that must be opened in a firewall to allow communication between Cisco Unity and other servers, refer to the IP Communications Required by Cisco Unity chapter in the Security Guide for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
IMAP and Cisco Unity Inbox Limits Increased for Selected Servers
The maximum number of Cisco Unity subscribers who are using an IMAP e-mail client and/or using the Cisco Unity Inbox to access voice messages has been increased to 4000 subscribers for selected servers when the Exchange message store is installed on a separate server. The limits will be increased for additional servers as we have time to test after Cisco Unity 5.0 has been released. For the limits for specific servers, see the Cisco Unity Supported Platforms List at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_data_sheets_list.html.

Standby Redundancy
Revised April 16, 2008
The standby redundancy feature uses failover functionality to provide duplicate Cisco Unity servers for disaster recovery. The primary server is located at the primary facility, and the secondary server is located at the disaster-recover facility. Instructions for configuring this feature are in the applicable Failover Configuration and Administration Guide for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_feature_guides_list.html. Standby redundancy functions in the following manner:
Data is replicated to the secondary server, with the exceptions noted in the About Cisco Unity Failover chapter of the Failover Configuration and Administration Guide for Cisco Unity. Automatic failover is disabled. In the event of a loss of the primary server, the secondary server is manually activated.
When Microsoft Exchange is the message store, the primary server cannot be separated by a firewall from:
The partner Exchange server. The domain controller that Cisco Unity monitors for directory updates. The global catalog server that Cisco Unity monitors for directory updates. The global catalog server with which the Cisco Unity MAPI client communicates.
In addition, the partner Exchange server cannot be separated by a firewall from the domain controllers and the global catalog server that the partner server communicates with. Standby redundancy was designed with the expectation that the primary server would generally be the active server. When Exchange is the message store and the secondary server is separated from any of the listed servers by a firewall, the secondary server must be used as the active server only for brief periods. The problem with the primary server must be resolved promptly, and the primary server must be made the active server again at the earliest opportunity.

When IBM Lotus Domino is the message store, the Cisco Unity servers cannot be separated by a firewall from:
One another. Domino message store servers. The domain controller on which the Cisco Unity installation and services accounts were created.
For details on the TCP/UDP ports that must be opened in a firewall to allow communication between Cisco Unity and other servers, refer to the IP Communications Required by Cisco Unity chapter in the Security Guide for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Cisco Unity with Domino: Full Mailbox Check When an Outside Caller Attempts to Leave a Message
Cisco Unity can be enabled to check whether a subscriber mailbox is full when an outside caller tries to leave a message for the subscriber. When the mailbox is full, the outside caller hears the following prompt: You cannot record a message for <Subscriber>. This mailbox is full. After playing the prompt, Cisco Unity transfers the caller back to the Opening Greeting and logs the following message to the Windows Application Event log: The mailbox for [Alias: subscriber alias] is full. The subscriber cannot send or receive new voice messages until mailbox size is reduced. Mailbox size limits are specified in the message store, not Cisco Unity.
17
By default, the feature is turned off, and Cisco Unity does not check if a subscriber mailbox is full before allowing an outside caller to leave a message. Messages that are left for subscribers with full mailboxes are delivered to the Unaddressed Messages distribution list, which should be monitored by the Cisco Unity system administrator or another subscriber. To enable the feature, configure the following settings in the Advanced Settings Tool:
Conversation - Full Mailbox Check Feature Conversation - Full Mailbox Check Prompt
Note that enabling full-mailbox checks for outside callers does not affect how Cisco Unity handles messages from other Cisco Unity subscribers to a full mailbox; subscribers who send messages to a full mailbox will receive a non-delivery receipt (NDR). Also, Cisco Unity behaves as if the full-mailbox check feature is disabled when:
An outside caller leaves a message for a call handler whose recipient is a distribution list (for example, the default recipient for the Operator call handler is the Unaddressed Messages list). An outside caller leaves a message for an interview handler.

You can adjust the response timeout setting for all subscribers and outside callers by using the Wait <x> Milliseconds For Additional Key Presses When Entering Phone Menu Commands field on the System > Configuration > Settings page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. You can also adjust this setting for individual subscribers or groups of subscribers using the applicable Conversation page for a subscriber template or an individual subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator or in the Bulk Edit utility. Subscribers can also adjust this setting themselves on the Advanced Settings page in the Cisco Unity Assistant. In earlier versions, you adjusted a setting in the Advanced Settings Tool to specify the response timeout setting for all subscribers and outside callers associated with a Cisco Unity server or you could adjust this setting for individual subscribers only in the Bulk Edit utility and the default value was 1,000 milliseconds. If you are upgrading to Cisco Unity version 5.0(1), see the Conversation Settings Removed from Advanced Settings Tool section on page 30. If you are upgrading to Cisco Unity version 5.0(1), the existing value of the setting is retained. Note that the Wait <x> Milliseconds For Additional Key Presses When Entering Names, Extensions, and Passwords setting is a similar timeout setting which has been reworded to clarify the difference between the two timeout settings.
When the Greetings, Personal Settings, and Transfer Settings menus are specified, all options in those menus are also included. Only the options in the Message Settings menu can be specified individually. The Custom Key Map tool allows you to edit the key mappings associated with several Custom Keypad Mapping conversations, which can be assigned to subscribers on the Conversation page in the Cisco Unity Administrator or by subscribers themselves on the Phone Menu Preferences page in the Cisco Unity Assistant. The Custom Key Map tool can be found in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot.

The Custom Key Map tool allows you to edit the key mappings associated with several Custom Keypad Mapping conversations, which can be assigned to subscribers on the Conversation page in the Cisco Unity Administrator or by subscribers themselves on the Phone Menu Preferences page in the Cisco Unity Assistant. The Custom Key Map tool can be found in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot.
21
Specifying Per Subscriber the Addressing Order When Sending or Forwarding Messages
By default, when subscribers send or forward messages to other subscribers or distribution lists, Cisco Unity prompts subscribers to address the message first and then record it. You can customize the subscriber conversation so that Cisco Unity prompts subscribers to record a message or introduction before prompting them to address it. You specify the addressing order on the applicable Conversation page for a subscriber template or an individual subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, or by using the Bulk Edit utility. Subscribers can also adjust the message addressing order themselves on the Phone Menu Preferences page in the Cisco Unity Assistant. In earlier versions, you adjusted a setting in the Advanced Settings Tool to specify the message addressing order for all subscribers associated with a Cisco Unity server. If you are upgrading to Cisco Unity version 5.0(1), see the Conversation Settings Removed from Advanced Settings Tool section on page 30.
22
OL-13607-04
Specifying Per Subscriber the Amount of Time to Skip Back or Ahead When Rewinding or Fast-Forwarding Messages
By default, when subscribers are listening to messages, when they rewind or fast-forward the message, Cisco Unity skips back or ahead in the message by five seconds. You can specify the amount of time Cisco Unity skips back or ahead in the message on the applicable Conversation page for a subscriber template or an individual subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, or by using the Bulk Edit utility. Subscribers can also adjust the amount of time Cisco Unity skips back or ahead in the message themselves on the Advanced Settings page in the Cisco Unity Assistant.
Specifying Per Subscriber the Conversation Styles Offered in the Cisco Unity Assistant
You can specify the conversation styles that are offered to subscribers in the Cisco Unity Assistant. For example, you may want subscribers to choose among only the standard, Optional 1, and Alternate Keypad Mapping N conversations. You select the conversation styles on the applicable Conversation page for a subscriber template or an individual subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, or by using the Bulk Edit utility. If you do not select any conversation style to be offered in the Cisco Unity Assistant, subscribers will see only the conversation style that you have assigned to them in the Cisco Unity Administrator. In earlier versions, conversation style was not exposed in the Cisco Unity Assistant.
When a subscriber is replying to or sending a message - As long as the message has at least one recipient and the recording is longer than the value entered in the Discard Any Recording Less Than <x> Seconds field on the System > Configuration > Recordings page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. This means that Cisco Unity sends the message even though the subscriber may not have finished recording or addressing the message. When a subscriber is forwarding a message - As long as the message has at least one recipient. This means that Cisco Unity sends the message even though the subscriber may not have recorded an introduction or completely addressed the message.
You specify whether messages are sent upon hang-up on the applicable Conversation page for a subscriber template or an individual subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, or by using the Bulk Edit utility. Subscribers can also adjust the setting themselves on the Phone Menu Preferences page in the Cisco Unity Assistant. This setting does not apply to messages left by outside callers. By adjusting the default value of the setting, you can alter Cisco Unity behavior so that Cisco Unity will not send messages unless subscribers have pressed # to confirm that they are ready to send their message. Thus, if the call is disconnected before a subscriber has a chance to do so, Cisco Unity deletes the message rather than sending it. Note that if the subscriber has dropped call recovery enabled for calls dropped while addressing or recording messages, messages that are sent upon hang-up will not be sent until the time period for dropped call recovery has expired.
23
In earlier versions, you adjusted a setting in the Advanced Settings Tool to specify the message addressing order for all subscribers associated with a Cisco Unity server. If you are upgrading to Cisco Unity version 5.0(1), see the Conversation Settings Removed from Advanced Settings Tool section on page 30.
Spoken Commands
The Spoken Commands feature enables subscribers using the Press-or-Say input style to say the name of a menu option, as an alternative to pressing the touchtone key or saying the key number that corresponds to the menu option. For example, instead of saying Three or pressing the three touchtone key to delete a message, subscribers can now also say Delete. Subscribers who do not have the Press-or-Say input style enabled may only press touchtone keys to respond to menu options. The standard and custom conversation versions support spoken commands. Spoken commands are available only for options from the Main menu and when listening to or sending voice messages. To access other parts of the conversation, such as Greetings and Personal Settings under the Setup menu, subscribers must still press or say the name of the applicable touchtone key. For information on how to enable and use spoken commands, as well as a full list of available spoken commands, see the Release Notes for Spoken Commands in Cisco Unity 5.0(1) document at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.
Cisco Unity with Exchange: Message Store Configuration Wizard Prompts You to Enable Circular Logging
Each new voice message is saved in an Exchange transaction log and then is copied from the log to the Exchange message store when system resources are available. If the message store is corrupted or destroyed, you can use the last backup of the message store plus the transaction logs to restore the message store (assuming the transaction logs are stored in a different location than the message store and therefore were not destroyed along with the message store). After you back up the message store by using Exchange-aware backup software, the backup software clears the transaction logs. At this point, the backup reflects the current state of the message store, so the transaction logs are no longer required to restore the message store. You can configure logging in one of two ways: either the existing logs are regularly overwritten, or the existing logs are never overwritten. Overwriting the existing logs is known as circular logging.
24
OL-13607-04
By default, Exchange circular logging is disabled, which means that transaction logs grow until you back up the Exchange database with Exchange-aware backup software, or until the hard disk fills up and the server on which Exchange is installed stops functioning. For customers who install Cisco Unity in a Voice Messaging configuration, we have added a page to the Message Store Configuration Wizard that allows you to change the circular-logging setting for any message store in the forest for which circular logging is turned off. The new page only appears if the Cisco Unity licenses do not include any Unified Messaging subscribers and if circular logging is disabled for any of the message stores in the forest.
Cisco Unity with Exchange: Trusted Internet Subscribers and Trusted Internet Locations
Trusted Internet Subscribers are a new type of subscriber. Trusted Internet Locations are a new type of delivery location. They are both used in conjunction with Secure Messaging. Trusted Internet Subscribers are Internet Subscribers that are trusted with decrypted secure messages. Trusted Internet subscribers must be associated with a Trusted Internet Location. Based on the security settings of the Trusted Internet location, secure messages to Trusted Internet subscribers are decrypted by the Cisco Unity Voice Connector for Microsoft Exchange before they are sent by the Exchange server. (Messages to regular Internet subscribers are sent directly by the Exchange server and cannot be decrypted and therefore cannot be played by the recipient.) For more information on changes to the Secure Messaging feature see the Cisco Unity with Exchange: Private Secure Messaging section on page 32.

Message MonitoringSupported for use with Cisco Unity with Domino and Cisco Unity with Exchange
When Message Monitor is enabled, subscribers can monitor callers who are in the process of recording messages, and do the following:
Listen to the message as the caller records it. Connect to the caller who is recording the message. While on another call, listen to a message as the caller records it. While monitoring a call, give the caller the option of continuing to record the message or connecting to the subscriber.
Multilingual SupportWith Cisco Unity with Domino and Cisco Unity with Exchange
Added August 31, 2007
Cisco Unity supports the following languages for Phone View features: Chinese-Hong Kong SAR, Chinese-PRC, Chinese-Taiwan, Danish-Denmark, Dutch-Netherlands, English-United States, French-France, German-Germany, Hungarian-Hungary, Italian-Italy, Japanese-Japan, Korean-Korea, Polish-Poland, Portuguese-Portugal, Russian-Russia, Spanish-Spain. Language support is limited for subscribers using Cisco Unified CallManager version 4.x on the 7940 or the 7960 Cisco IP phones. For these configurations, English may be provided instead of the expected language.
26
OL-13607-04
Note
If subscriber caller names do not display correctly in Message Monitor, you may need to install supplemental language support via the Windows Regional and Languages Administration tool. The files for most languages are installed on your computer automatically by Microsoft Windows, but you may need to do this step if the names are stored on the Cisco Unity server using characters from any of the following languages:
Complex script and right-to-left languages including Arabic, Armenian, Georgian, Hebrew, the Indic languages, Thai, and Vietnamese. East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
See your Microsoft Windows documentation for using the Windows Regional and Languages Administration tool to install additional languages.

Voice Recognition
Voice-recognition features allow subscribers to interact with Cisco Unity by speaking rather than by using the phone keypad. The features are licensed by number of concurrent sessions, and require installation and configuration of voice-recognition software on a separate and dedicated server. A System >Voice Recognition page has been added to the Cisco Unity Administrator for configuring voice-recognition settings. You enable access to the voice-recognition features on the applicable Conversation page for a subscriber template or an individual subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, or by using the Bulk Edit utility. When subscribers have voice-recognition access, they can enable and disable the Press-or-Say input style by phone or by using the Cisco Unity Assistant. (See also the Press-or-Say Phone Input Style section on page 22, and the Spoken Commands section on page 24 under Cisco Unity Conversation Enhancements.) For information on configuring voice-recognition features, see the Managing Voice-Recognition Features chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity. For information on using the Press-or-Say input style, see Using the Press-or-Say Phone Input Style in the User Guide for the Cisco Unity Phone Interface.

If the original message was sent to just one person and that person attempts to reply-all, Cisco Unity warns them that the message has only one recipient and then plays the after-message menu again. Subscribers will hear Reply-to-all is not available because the message has only one recipient. If the number of recipients on the original message is larger than 50, Cisco Unity does not allow recipients to reply-all. Subscribers will hear this message has too many recipients. If the original message includes at least one Public Distribution list and the subscriber attempting to reply-all belongs to a COS that does not allow sending messages to Public Distribution lists, the subscriber will hear This message has at least one distribution list as a recipient. You are not allowed to send messages to distribution lists. If a subscriber attempts to reply-all to a message that was from a remote subscriber or included some remote recipients, they will hear the prompt Some recipients of the original message may not receive this reply.
By default, when a subscriber replies to all recipients of a message, Cisco Unity does not indicate to the subscriber how large the recipient list is. For information on how you can configure Cisco Unity to warn subscribers when their replies are to a large group, see the Configuring the Behavior for Replying to All Recipients of a Message section on page 18.

ConversationSubscriber Send Message Flow (Addressing Order). The existing value for the setting is retained upon upgrading. The setting can be enabled and disabled for individual subscribers by using the Cisco Unity Administrator, Cisco Unity Assistant, or Bulk Edit. Also see the Specifying Per Subscriber the Addressing Order When Sending or Forwarding Messages section on page 22. ConversationInterdigit Delay for Command Entry System Default. The existing value for the setting is retained upon upgrading. The setting can be configured for outside callers and all subscribers on the System > Configuration > Settings page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. Also see the Conversation Timeout Setting Added to Cisco Unity Administrator section on page 19. ConversationSet Double Key Press Time For Changing Addressing Mode. This setting was used to adjust the time that Cisco Unity waits for the second # key when subscribers switch between addressing by name and ID. Cisco Unity now uses the Wait <x> Milliseconds for Additional Key Presses When Entering Phone Menu Commands timeout setting to determine how long to wait for the second # key when subscribers switch between addressing by name and ID. Conversation - Subscriber Send Message Hang-Up Action. The existing value for the setting is retained upon upgrading. The setting can be enabled and disabled for individual subscribers by using the Cisco Unity Administrator, Cisco Unity Assistant, or Bulk Edit.Also see the Specifying Per Subscriber Whether Messages Are Sent Upon Hang-Up section on page 23.
Cisco Unity Assistant: Send Message Style Setting Moved to the Phone Menu Preferences Page
Using the Cisco Unity Assistant, subscribers can select whether they hear the standard or streamlined Send Message menu style. The setting has been moved from the Advanced Settings page to the Phone Menu Preferences page. The existing value of the Send Message Style setting is retained upon upgrading.
Menu Repeats
You can specify how many times Cisco Unity repeats a menu if the subscriber has not responded to a menu. You can configure the setting on the Conversation pages for subscribers and templates, and on the System > Configuration page of the Cisco Unity Administrator. The default value for new installations is 3 repeats. Therefore if a subscriber does not respond to a menu, they would hear the menu 4 times. In previous versions the default value was 1 repeat, so that a subscriber would hear a menu twice when they did not respond. The existing value for menu repeats is retained upon upgrading.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Create Cisco Unity Subscribers with Disabled Active Directory Accounts
This change applies only if all of the following are true:
You are creating subscriber mailboxes in Exchange 2000 and or Exchange 2003. Cisco Unity is configured for Voice Messaging. You use Cisco Unity Administrator or Cisco Unity Bulk Import to automatically create accounts in Active Directory. You do not allow Cisco Unity subscribers to access voice messages by using the Cisco Unity Inbox or an e-mail client, change their personal settings using the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant, or access the Cisco Unity Administrator.
When you create Cisco Unity subscribers using the Cisco Unity Administrator or by importing a CSV file using Cisco Unity Bulk Import, Cisco Unity automatically creates an Active Directory (AD) account for each subscriber. The password on these AD accounts is the same for every subscriber who was created using the same Cisco Unity template. A subscriber who knows another subscribers alias and the AD password in the template could access the other subscribers messages using the Cisco Unity Inbox or an e-mail client, impersonate the user through the Cisco Unity Inbox, or change the other subscribers settings using the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant.
31
You can now automatically disable the AD accounts created by Cisco Unity:
During installation if you choose the Message Store Configuration Wizard option to disable the Active Directory accounts created for subscribers. After installation if you change a value in the Advanced Settings Tool before you create subscribers. For more information, refer to the Advanced Settings Tool help for the Administration - Disable AD accounts created by Unity setting.
Caution
If you want subscribers to have access to the Cisco Unity Inbox, the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant, or the Cisco Unity Administrator, do not disable AD accounts; the accounts are required for authentication. If accounts cannot be disabled, we recommend that you refer to the Securing Accounts chapter in the Security Guide for Cisco Unity Release 5.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
Encryption is no longer tied to the private flag and all types of messages can now be encrypted. (In previous versions, only private messages could be encrypted.) Administrators can configure on a per subscriber basis that messages sent by the subscriber either (1) always be encrypted, (2) be encrypted only when flagged as private or (3) never be encrypted. Messages from unidentified callers can be encrypted. Subscribers can listen to encrypted messages using ViewMail for Outlook version 5.0(1) and Cisco Unity Inbox using TRAP or PC speakers. (In previous versions, subscribers could listen to encrypted messages only through the telephone interface.) Delivery location settings have been enhanced for sending & receiving encrypted messages to and from remote sites that are networked using the VPIM, Bridge, or AMIS protocols. A new type of subscriber, Trusted Internet Subscribers, and a new type of delivery location, Trusted Internet Locations, have been created so that secure massages can be sent to internet subscribers. For more information see the Cisco Unity with Exchange: Trusted Internet Subscribers and Trusted Internet Locations section on page 25. Encryption certificates are installed and maintained automatically. (In previous versions, certificates were installed and maintained manually.) The encryption algorithms have been changed so that message decryption occurs faster and uses less CPU overhead. Message aging can be enabled for encrypted messages. After a specified period of time, the certificate used to encrypt a message will expire and Cisco Unity will no longer be able to decrypt the message. Message aging applies to all encrypted messages regardless of whether the message recipient has listened to the message.
You configure message aging and message security for unidentified callers on the System > Configuration > Message Security Settings page. You specify which types of subscriber messages are encrypted, if any, on the applicable Features page for a subscriber template or an individual subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, or by using the Bulk Edit utility.

OL-13607-04
If you are upgrading from a previous version and were using Private Secure Messaging, the per-subscriber setting is retained on upgrade. Subscribers that had Private Secure Messaging enabled will have their message security set to Encrypt only private messages. In previous versions, there was a system-wide setting in the Advanced Settings Tool that would enable Private Secure Messaging for all subscribers. That setting is not retained on upgrade. You can use Bulk Edit to enable Secure Messaging for all subscribers. If you are upgrading from a previous version and were using Private Secure Messaging, existing certificates are migrated as part of the upgrade and are available for decrypting any existing private secure messages. If your subscribers use Cisco Unity ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook and you are using Secure Messaging, you must customize the ViewMail installation program to configure subscriber workstations for secure messaging and use ViewMail for Outlook version 5.0 or later. Earlier versions of ViewMail will not encrypt messages and subscribers could unknowingly be sending unsecured messages. If you are using networking features in Cisco Unity, you must use Cisco Unity Voice Connector for Microsoft Exchange version 12.0(1) or later. For more information refer to the Security Guide for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
Diagnostic Improvements
The diagnostic trace formatting has been improved and new micro traces have been added to the Cisco Unity Diagnostic Tool (UDT).
Save Delete Skip message, mark as saved Hang-up (The message is marked as read only if the Mark a Message as Saved Upon Hang-up or Disconnection setting is enabled for the subscriber; otherwise, it is marked as new.) Reply (and reply to all) Forward Skip message, save as new
For a new message, the following actions during or after playback leave the message marked as new:
33
Skip message, save as is Play message properties Toggle urgent flag Play previous message Play next message Play first message Play last message Find a message by number Send quick message Call the subscriber (live reply) Hang-up (The message is marked as new only if the Mark a Message as Saved Upon Hang-up or Disconnection setting is disabled for the subscriber; if the setting is enabled, the message is marked as read.)
If you prefer the behavior in earlier versions, you can use the Advanced Settings Tool to adjust a setting that controls this behavior. The setting is called ConversationDelay Mark As Read.
On-Box Message Store with Failover for Cisco Unity Voice Messaging Configuration
The Cisco Unity voice messaging configuration supports installing message store (Exchange Server 2003 only) on the secondary server as a two-box solution for Cisco Unity failover.
Only one integration with a circuit-switched phone system through voice cards is supported on the Cisco Unity server.
34
OL-13607-04
A QSIG/DPNSS phone system integration must be the only phone system integration on the Cisco Unity server. QSIG/DPNSS phone systems integrations cannot be combined with any other phone system integrations.
For example, Cisco Unity can be integrated with the following phone systems at one time (a total of 22 phone system integrations):
Seven circuit-switched phone systems through PIMG/TIMG units Seven Cisco Unified CM phone systems through Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) One circuit-switched phone system through voice cards Seven Cisco Unified CM phone systems through SIP trunk
This option requires Cisco Unity-CM TSP 8.1(2) or later. This option is not supported by integrations through PIMG units. This option can be changed through the Advanced Settings Tool (AST), which is available in Tools Depot.
SMTP Networking Not Supported (Cisco Unity With Microsoft Exchange Only)
Beginning with Cisco Unity 5.0(1), SMTP Networking is no longer supported. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Cisco Unity on a system configured for SMTP Networking, we recommend that you migrate from SMTP Networking to VPIM Networking before the upgrade. Both SMTP Networking and VPIM Networking use SMTP as the mechanism for exchanging messages, but the message format differs. SMTP Networking uses a proprietary message format, while the message format in VPIM Networking adheres to the VPIM industry standard. In addition, VPIM Networking provides functionality that is not available in SMTP Networking. Note that VPIM Networking is a licensed feature. It requires that you have an Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 server on which to install the Cisco Unity Voice Connector for Microsoft Exchange. For limitations related to Exchange 2007, see the Cisco Unity with Exchange: Exchange Server 2007 section on page 9.
35
In addition to VPIM Networking, customers will still be able to set up Internet subscriber accounts for messaging with individuals who do not use Cisco Unity, but who have computers connected to the Internet. For information about reconfiguring the system to use VPIM Networking instead of SMTP Networking, refer to the Migrating from SMTP Networking to VPIM Networking chapter in the Networking Guide for Cisco Unity. The guide is available at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_feature_guides_list.html.

For each downloaded file, use a checksum generator to confirm that the MD5 checksum matches the checksum that is listed on Cisco.com. If the values do not match, the downloaded file is damaged.
Caution
Do not attempt to use a damaged file to install software or the results will be unpredictable. If the MD5 values do not match, download the file again until the value for the downloaded file matches the value listed on Cisco.com. Free checksum tools are available on the Internet, for example, the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility. This utility is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 841290, Availability and Description of the File Checksum Integrity Verifier Utility. The KB article also includes a link for downloading the utility.

In Windows Explorer, double-click the file. In WinZip, specify a directory to which the files will be extracted.
Step 6
Burn a DVD for each file that you downloaded and extracted. Label the discs with the contents and the current date, noting the following considerations:
Use the Joliet file system, which accommodates file names up to 64 characters long. If the disc-burning application that you are using includes an option to verify the contents of the burned disc, choose that option. This causes the application to compare the contents of the burned disc with the source files.
Step 7
When you are done extracting the files, delete the downloaded .exe files to free disk space.

Navigation Pane May Be Blank When Viewing the Cisco Unity Administrator in Japanese
Added December 13, 2007
When Cisco Unity is installed on an English version of Windows, the left-hand navigation pane on the Subscribers page may be blank when viewing the Cisco Unity Administrator in Japanese. The problem does not occur when Cisco Unity is installed on a Japanese version of Windows. To fix the navigation pane on an English version of Windows, do the applicable procedure for the version of Windows installed on the Cisco Unity server:
To Fix the Navigation Pane on Windows Server 2003, page 43 To Fix the Navigation Pane on Windows 2000 Server, page 44
In the following procedure, you change the region and language options. If you installed Windows Server 2003 by using an English-language retail disc rather than the Cisco Unity Platform Configuration discs shipped with the Cisco Unity server, you need the Windows installation disc.
To Fix the Navigation Pane on Windows Server 2003
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7
Log on to the Cisco Unity server. On the Windows Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options. Click the Regional Options tab. In the Standards and Formats box, in the Select an Item to Match Its Preferences list, click Japanese. In the Location list, click Japan. Click the Languages tab. If you installed Windows by using the Platform Configuration discs, skip to Step 8. If you installed Windows by using an English-language retail disc, check the Install Files for East Asian Languages check box and skip to Step 9.
43
Step 8
Optional: If you installed Windows by using the Platform Configuration discs and want to change the Windows User Interface language on the Cisco Unity server to Japanese, in the Language Used in Menus and Dialogs list, click Japanese. (The list appears only when Windows was installed by using the Platform Configuration discs.) Click the Advanced tab. In the Language for Non-Unicode Programs box, click Japanese. Click OK to close the Regional and Language Options dialog box. If you installed Windows by using the Platform Configuration discs, skip to Step 13. If you installed Windows by using an English-language retail disc, insert the Windows installation disc when prompted, then click OK to install additional language files.
Step 13
In the following procedure, you change the Windows system locale. You need the Windows installation disc.
To Fix the Navigation Pane on Windows 2000 Server
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8
Log on to the Cisco Unity server. On the Windows Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel > Regional Options. On the General tab, in the Language Settings for the System list, click the Japanese check box. Click Set Default. The Select System Locale window opens. In the Appropriate Locale list, click Japanese, then click OK. Click OK to close the Regional Options dialog box. Insert the Windows installation disc when prompted, then click OK to install additional language files. Restart the Cisco Unity server.
Permissions Wizard Causes a Spike in Processing on All Domain Controllers in the Domain (Cisco Unity with Exchange Only)
When Exchange is the message store, always run the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard during off-peak hours except when you are installing a new Cisco Unity server in a Voice Messaging configuration and you are not creating subscriber accounts in the corporate directory. The Permissions wizard sets permissions at a granular level that requires more changes to the Active Directory database. (When Domino is the message store, the Permissions wizard sets very few permissions, so the effect on Active Directory is negligible.)
Caution
When the Permissions wizard completes, the Lsass.exe process updates the Active Directory database with the new permissions. While Lsass.exe is processing the updates, it uses 100 percent of available processor time on the root domain controller in the domain and on one of the global catalog servers in the site where the Permissions wizard was run. (Other domain controllers in the domain and other global catalog servers in the forest are also affected, but the impact is less significant.) The updates take a few
44
OL-13607-04
minutes to several hours, depending on the size of the database. Do not continue with the Cisco Unity installation or upgrade until Lsass.exe has finished processing the changes, or Cisco Unity Setup may fail.
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.
Upgrade from Cisco Unity 4.0(2) or Earlier to Version 5.0(1) Requires Reactivation of Optional Conversation 1
When you upgrade from Cisco Unity version 4.0(2) or earlier, the standard conversation is automatically activated for all subscribers. Therefore, you will need to reactivate Optional Conversation 1 after an upgrade (including maintenance-release upgrades) for those subscribers using it. To do so, use either the Conversation settings on the template and subscriber pages in the Cisco Unity Administrator or the Bulk Edit utility to select Optional Conversation 1 for individual subscribers or for a particular group of subscribers. (In versions earlier than Cisco Unity 4.0(3), you could specify only a single conversation for all subscribers associated with a Cisco Unity server by using the Advanced Settings Tool to change the registry.) For information on specifying conversation settings in the Cisco Unity Administrator, refer to the Managing Conversation Settings That Are Controlled by Subscriber or Subscriber Template Settings chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Release 5.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html. For information on specifying conversation settings in the Bulk Edit utility, refer to Bulk Edit Help.
Using Chinese-PRC, Chinese-Taiwan, Chinese-Hong Kong SAR, Japanese, and Korean Text to Speech
Chinese-PRC, Chinese-Taiwan, Chinese-Hong Kong SAR, Japanese, and Korean Text to Speech require specific language settings on the Cisco Unity server. For details, refer to the Managing Languages chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Release 5.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
45
One to five subscriber names are listed in the directory. There are more than fivebut fewer than 51subscriber 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.
Delay When Subscribers Press 00 to Switch Search Modes in Cisco Unity Conversation
When subscribers press 00 to switch search mode, they will experience a delay before Cisco Unity responds accordingly. To avoid the delay, subscribers can press ## instead of 00. Alternatively, you can reduce the amount of time that Cisco Unity waits for key presses so that subscribers do not experience the delay. Reducing the amount of time that Cisco Unity waits for more key presses can eliminate the delay when subscribers press 00 to switch search modes, but the change may adversely affect how subscribers interact with the Cisco Unity conversation as they address messages, update passwords, change call transfer or message notification numbers, and do other tasks. We recommend that you reduce the value specified for the Wait <x> Milliseconds For Additional Key Presses When Entering Names, Extensions, and Passwords field (also known as the Interdigit Timeout setting) only for individual subscribers who are likely to use 00, rather than for all subscribers associated with a Cisco Unity server.
46
OL-13607-04
The Wait <x> Milliseconds For Additional Key Presses When Entering Names, Extensions, and Passwords field is on the Conversation pages for individual subscribers in the Cisco Unity Administrator. Subscribers can also configure this setting themselves on the Advanced Setting page in the Cisco Unity Assistant. By default, Cisco Unity waits 3,000 milliseconds for additional key presses before it acts.
Message Monitor Cannot Be Enabled or Disabled for Individual Subscribers in Cisco Unity Administrator
To configure Message Monitor, you create a CTI application user for the Phone View features in Cisco Unified CM, and associate subscriber devices with the CTI user. Then, you configure Message Monitor in Cisco Unity for the phone system integration. When the feature is configured, subscribers can enable or disable it themselves, however, you cannot enable or disable it for them in Cisco Unity Administrator. To remove the feature for a subscriber, you can disassociate the subscriber device with the CTI user in Cisco Unified CM, but note that doing so removes all Phone View features for the subscriber.
Remote Desktop
Added January 17, 2008
When you configure Remote Desktop on the client computer, do not choose the option to bring sound to the client computer or all incoming calls will be immediately disconnected. Instead, on the Local Resources tab, in the Remote Computer Sound list, click Leave at Remote Computer. When you use Remote Desktop to log on to the Cisco Unity server remotely, do not use the /console option, or all incoming calls will be immediately disconnected.
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 Read Name in the From Field in E-Mail
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. 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. When a message is from a Cisco Unity subscriber, the conversation plays the name (if one is recorded) or extension for that subscriber.
47
Caveats
The design allows better TTS performance, and has worked as described since Cisco Unity 2.4(6). 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/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl.)
Web Pages That Contain the Media Master Control Bar Do Not Load Properly When Google Desktop Search Is Installed
When Google Desktop Search is installed on a subscriber workstation that uses Windows XP, the pages of the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) and the Cisco Unity Administrator do not load properly in the browser.
Windows Application Event Log May Not Display Third-Party Product Name in Start-Up Log Entry
When Cisco Unity starts, an Event log entry is created with the version number of installed third-party software. Cisco Unity provides the product name to supplement the version number in the Event log entry. If support for a new version of a product (for example, a service pack) begins between releases of Cisco Unity, however, the Event log entry will not include the product name of the software. Because the information about the new version of the third-party software does not exist in its database, Cisco Unity cannot add the product name to the Event log entry.
Installing or upgrading Cisco Unity. Setting the dB level of recorded names and greetings by using the Set Volume utility. Converting recorded names and greetings to a different codec by using the Set Wav Format utility. Using Windows Terminal Services in console mode, which is available through the /console command line parameter.
Using Windows Terminal Services on subscriber workstations for the recording and playback of messages by using Cisco Unity ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook is not supported.

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 Cisco Unity installation guide is available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html. The software for a demonstration system can be ordered on line. 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 https://tools.cisco.com/qtc/config/jsp/configureHome.jsp. The part number is UNITY4-DEMO-10USR.
Note
You must be a registered user to access this web page. If you are not a registered user, go to http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do to register and obtain a Cisco.com user ID. 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 or upgrade the demonstration system, see the applicable section, depending on which license file you are using:

Installing and Configuring Voice-Recognition Software on a Cisco Unity Server for Demonstration Purposes Only
Added December 13, 2007
This section assumes that the Cisco Unity license includes voice-recognition sessions and that you are installing and configuring voice-recognition software on the Cisco Unity server for demonstration purposes only. When the voice-recognition demonstration is no longer necessary, you must remove the voice-recognition software from the Cisco Unity server.
Caution
You cannot upgrade Cisco Unity software while voice-recognition software is installed on the Cisco Unity server for demonstration purposes. To add new features that require running Cisco Unity Setup or to upgrade Cisco Unity software to a later version, you must first remove the voice-recognition software. See the Removing Voice-Recognition Software from the Cisco Unity Server section on page 68.
Caution
Do not install Cisco Unity voice-recognition software on a Cisco Unity server running Windows 2000 Server. Windows Server 2003 is required.
To Install and Configure Voice-Recognition Software on a Cisco Unity Server for Demonstration Purposes Only
Step 1
If antivirus software or Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity is installed on the server, disable antivirus and Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity services.
66
OL-13607-04
Installing and Configuring Voice-Recognition Software on a Cisco Unity Server for Demonstration Purposes Only
Step 2
Log on to the Cisco Unity server by using an account that is a member of the local administrators group. Insert Cisco Unity DVD 1 in the DVD drive. From a command prompt, switch to the UnityVoiceRecognitionSetup directory on the DVD, then enter setup.exe /force.
Note
During Setup, the installation wizard detects whether Cisco Unity is installed on the server. If it is, the wizard installs only the CuVrt service, which allows Cisco Unity to communicate with a separate voice-recognition server. By using the /force command line argument, this check is skipped and the voice-recognition software is installed on the Cisco Unity server in addition to the CuVrt service.
d. e. f.
Click Yes at the warning. Follow the on-screen prompts until you are prompted to choose the location for voice-recognition files. Choose a location other than the system drive (C drive) to install the voice-recognition software.
Note
The voice-recognition software takes up about 500 MB of hard disk space. On MCS-7825 and MCS-7835 servers, we recommend that you install on the D drive, as the C drive typically has a limited amount of space available. Note also that when Microsoft Exchange is the message store, the message database is on the D drive, and the voice-recognition software takes away voice message storage space (about 1,000 minutes for messages stored in G.711 format).
g. h. i. Step 3
Click Next. Accept the default location for the Cisco Unity voice-recognition service. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. On the Cisco Unity server, log on to Windows by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group. Start the administration interface for the antivirus software. Refer to the antivirus software Help for instructions on excluding directories from scanning. Exclude the following two directories from virus scanning:
If antivirus software is installed on the server, exclude selected directories from virus scanning:
a. b. c.
Nuance NuanceLogs
Caution
Do not configure antivirus software to block WAV attachments, or voice messages will be stripped of their recordings. In addition, do not configure antivirus software to scan WAV files, .log files, or .tmp files. Finally, do not configure antivirus software to block TCP or UDP port traffic, or voice-recognition software may not function properly.
Step 4
If antivirus software or Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity is installed on the server, re-enable antivirus and Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity services.
67
Installing and Configuring Voice-Recognition Software on a Cisco Unity Server for Demonstration Purposes Only
Step 5
On the Cisco Unity server, log on to Windows by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group.
Caution
We recommend that you do this procedure after hours. The manual update in Step g is a processor- and memory-intensive process that will affect Cisco Unity performance.
b. c. d. e. f. g.
In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the Configuration > Voice Recognition > Settings page. On the Voice Recognition Settings page, in the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the Cisco Unity server. Do not change the value of the Socket Port field. Change the value of Limit Searches to The, as appropriate. For a detailed explanation of the available options, see Cisco Unity Administrator Help. Click Save. Click Start Manual Update. Cisco Unity will take up to 15 minutes to transfer licensing information and other data. Until this process is complete, voice recognition will not function.
h. Step 6
Configure Cisco Unity templates and subscriber accounts for voice recognition: Refer to the Managing Voice-Recognition Features chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Release 5.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
Note
Changes to settings in a template do not affect existing subscriber accounts that were based on that template. Refer to the Modifying Subscriber Accounts section in the Managing Subscriber Accounts chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity for information on modifying subscriber accounts after they have been created.
Log on to the Cisco Unity server by using an account that is a member of the local administrators group. From the Windows Start menu, click Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and remove Cisco Unity Voice-Recognition Software. Click Yes when prompted to completely remove the selected application and all of its features. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the removal of the voice-recognition software.
68
OL-13607-04
Step 5
If you are permanently removing voice recognition from the environment, use the Cisco Unity Bulk Edit Utility to disable the following two settings for all subscribers under Conversation > Options:
Use Voice for Navigating the Subscriber Conversation Allow Access to Voice-Recognition Feature
Step 6
If you are adding a separate voice-recognition serverthe supported configurationto your existing Cisco Unity system, refer to the Adding Voice Recognition section in the Adding Features to the Cisco Unity 5.x System chapter of the Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unity Release 5.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
