New and Changed Requirements and SupportRelease 5.0(1)


This section contains information about new and changed requirements and support in the Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) time frame only. Refer to the release notes of the applicable version for information on new and changed support with earlier versions of Cisco Unity. Release notes for all versions of Cisco Unity are available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1)

OL-13607-04

New and Changed Requirements and SupportRelease 5.0(1)

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.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Cisco Unified Personal Communicator


Subscribers can use Cisco Unified Personal Communicator version 1.2 or later to view, play, and delete Cisco Unity voice messages. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator must be configured to use the IMAP messaging protocol to connect to Cisco Unity. Refer to the Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6844/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Exchange Server 2007


Cisco Unity now supports Exchange 2007 as the message store. Note the following limitations:

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:

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) OL-13607-04

New and Changed Requirements and SupportRelease 5.0(1)

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

message store because BellHop automatically creates mailboxes in Exchange.


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-CM TSP Version 8.2(1)


Cisco Unity-CM TSP 8.2(1) is qualified for use with Cisco Unity version 5.0(1). For information on the Cisco Unity-CM TSP, refer to Release Notes for Cisco Unity-CM TSP Release 8.2(1) at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Cisco Unity User Guide


The Cisco Unity User Guide has been divided into four guides so that administrators can easily choose content relevant to subscribers based on the features and functionality enabled for them:

User Guide for the Cisco Unity Phone Interface User Guide for the Cisco Unity Assistant Web Tool User Guide for the Cisco Unity Inbox Web Tool User Guide for Accessing Cisco Unity Voice Messages in an E-Mail Client (covers ViewMail for Outlook, DUC for Cisco, and IMAP client access to voice messages)

Note that the default key presses have been removed from procedures in the User Guide for the Cisco Unity Phone Interface. Instead, steps tell subscribers to choose menu options based on the prompts they hear (for example: Step 2 From the Main menu, choose the options Setup Options > Personal Settings > Change Password.). With this change, procedures are relevant for all subscribers, regardless of whether they are enabled for a custom conversation (created with the Custom Key Map utility), the default Cisco Unity conversation, or one of the optional premapped Cisco Unity conversations. Administrators can use the Wallet Card wizard to produce cards that show the key presses for customized conversations and for Cisco Unity premapped conversations. For information on using the wizard, refer to the Subscriber Orientation chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Failover When Cisco Unity Servers Are Separated by a Firewall


Revised April 16, 2008

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.

New FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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.

Utility Updates in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot


Updates to utilities in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot are frequently posted between Cisco Unity releases. The updates commonly do not apply to a specific release, so we do not list the tools that have been updated since the last version of Cisco Unity. However, you can sign up to be notified when the utilities posted on the Cisco Unity Tools website are updated. Go to http://ciscounitytools.com, and click Sign Up Here. Most of the utilities in the Tools Depot are also available on the Cisco Unity Tools website (http://ciscounitytools.com). If the Cisco Unity server is connected to the Internet and you run a Tools Depot utility that is available on the Cisco Unity Tools website, the utility automatically checks to see whether an updated version is available. If the Cisco Unity server is not connected to the Internet, we recommend that you check the Cisco Unity Tools website to determine whether a later version of the utility is available. Some utilities work only with selected versions of Cisco Unity. If a utility does not appear in the Tools Depot, it does not work with the version of Cisco Unity currently running. The Cisco Unity Tools Depot is a collection of utilities that perform a variety of administration, audio management, diagnostic, reporting, and phone system integration functions. To display the Tools Depot, double-click the Cisco Unity Tools Depot icon on the Cisco Unity server desktop or click Programs > Unity > Cisco Unity Tools Depot on the Windows Start menu. The left pane of the Tools Depot lists all of the available utilities by category. To display Help for a utility, click the name in the left pane. To run the utility, double-click the name.

Cisco Unity Conversation Enhancements


The Cisco Unity conversationalso known as the TUI (telephone user interface)has been enhanced in several ways. The enhancements are described in the following sections:

Cisco Unity with Domino: Full Mailbox Warnings, page 17 Cisco Unity with Domino: Full Mailbox Check When an Outside Caller Attempts to Leave a Message, page 17 Configuring the Behavior for Replying to All Recipients of a Message, page 18 Conversation Settings Added to the Cisco Unity Assistant, page 18 Conversation Timeout Setting Added to Cisco Unity Administrator, page 19 Custom Keypad Mapping Conversations Can Be Reset to Cisco Internal Mappings, page 20 Customizing the Subscriber Setup Options Menu, page 20 Dropped Call Recovery, page 21 Offering More Options at the Main Menu, page 21 Offering the Option to Revert to Default Message Playback Speed, page 22 Press-or-Say Phone Input Style, page 22 Specifying Per Subscriber the Addressing Order When Sending or Forwarding Messages, page 22 Specifying Per Subscriber the Amount of Time to Skip Back or Ahead When Rewinding or Fast-Forwarding Messages, page 23 Specifying Per Subscriber the Conversation Styles Offered in the Cisco Unity Assistant, page 23 Specifying Per Subscriber Whether Messages Are Sent Upon Hang-Up, page 23 Spoken Commands, page 24

For a summary of changes made to the default settings and functionality for the Cisco Unity conversation and the Cisco PCA applications for Cisco Unity 5.0(1), see the Changed FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1) section on page 29.

Cisco Unity with Domino: Full Mailbox Warnings


When subscribers who have a full mailbox log on to Cisco Unity by phone, Cisco Unity alerts them that their mailbox is full, asks them to delete some messages, and will not allow them to send any new messages while their mailbox is full. A subscriber with a full mailbox hears the following prompt: Your inbox is full, you cannot send or receive new messages. Delete some messages now. In previous versions, Cisco Unity alerted subscribers of their full mailbox after they attempted to send messages.

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.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) OL-13607-04

17

New FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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.

Configuring the Behavior for Replying to All Recipients of a Message


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. You can configure Cisco Unity to warn subscribers when the recipient list is greater than a number that you specify. When the original message includes at least one Public Distribution list or if the number of recipients is equal to or greater than the value you specify, subscribers will hear This reply-to-all contains many recipients. To continue recording, press 1. To review the original recipient list, 2. To cancel, *. You use the Advanced Settings Tool to enable this feature. The setting is called ConversationReply-to-All Warning. For information on other changes to the behavior when replying to all recipients of a message, see the Conversation Behavior for Replying to All Recipients of a Message section on page 29.

Conversation Settings Added to the Cisco Unity Assistant


Many conversation settings have been added to the Cisco Unity Assistant so that subscribers can adjust their values. On Phone Menu Preferences page, the following settings have been added:

Conversation Style. In previous versions, this field was available only in the Cisco Unity Administrator and Bulk Edit. See also the Specifying Per Subscriber the Conversation Styles Offered in the Cisco Unity Assistant section on page 23. Use Press-or-Say Phone Input Style (Includes Voice Addressing). This setting represents new Cisco Unity functionality. See also the Press-or-Say Phone Input Style section on page 22. Address Message, Then Record It.

On Greeting page, the following setting has been added:

On the Advanced Settings page, the following settings have been added:

Conversation Timeout Setting Added to Cisco Unity Administrator


By default, when outside callers or subscribers respond to a phone menu by pressing a key that represents the first digit of more than one possible key combination, Cisco Unity waits 1,500 milliseconds (one and a half seconds) for additional key presses before acting. For example, in the After Message menu for the standard conversation, subscribers can press 4 to reply to a message, 42 to reply to all, or 44 to call the subscriber. Thus, when subscribers press 4 after listening to a message, Cisco Unity waits one and a half seconds before responding to give subscribers a chance to press an additional key. For those who prefer that Cisco Unity respond more quickly or more slowly in waiting for additional key presses, you can adjust the response timeouts.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) OL-13607-04

New FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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.

Custom Keypad Mapping Conversations Can Be Reset to Cisco Internal Mappings


The Custom Key Map utility allows you to reset a Custom Keypad Mapping conversation to the keys that Cisco uses in our internal deployment. The new functionality can be used with Cisco Unity version 4.2(1) and later. The Custom Key Map utility 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 utility can be found in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot.

Customizing the Subscriber Setup Options Menu


Using the Custom Key Map utility, you can specify whether the following options are offered to subscribers as part of the Setup Options menu:

Greetings Message Settings


Message Notification Fax Delivery Menu Style Private Lists

Personal Settings Transfer 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.

Dropped Call Recovery


If subscribers inadvertently disconnect while listening to or sending messages, Dropped Call Recovery allows them to call back into Cisco Unity within a specified period of time and resume the activity without losing their place. When enabled for dropped calls during message playback, the setting applies when the call terminates while a subscriber is listening to new or saved messages. It does not apply if a subscriber is listening to deleted messages, receipts, or if a subscriber is listening to messages by using the dynamic Message Locator option. By default, the recovery time period for calls dropped during message playback is five minutes. If the subscriber calls back during the specified period of time, the subscriber will be able to continue listening to the message. Note that if the Mark a Message as Saved Upon Hang-up or Disconnection option is also enabled for a subscriber and the subscriber was disconnected while listening to a new message, the message will remain marked as new until the recovery time period has expired. When enabled for calls dropped while addressing or recording messages, the setting applies when the call terminates while a subscriber is sending a new message, replying to, or forwarding a message. If the message has at least one addressee or a recording and there is a disconnect, it will be held for the specified period of time before sending. By default, the recovery time period for calls dropped while addressing or recording messages is three minutes. If the subscriber calls back into the mailbox during that time, the subscriber will be offered the option to review the message, cancel it, or send it as is. If the subscriber does not call back during that time and the message has at least one addressee and a recording, the message will only be sent if the subscriber has the Send Message When Subscriber Hangs Up or Call Is Disconnected option enabled. If the Send Message When Subscriber Hangs Up or Call Is Disconnected option is disabled, the message will be discarded. You can enable and specify the time frames for Dropped Call Recovery 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 enable and adjust the Dropped Call Recovery settings themselves on the Advanced Settings page in the Cisco Unity Assistant. For more information, refer to the Dropped Call Recovery section in the Managing Conversation Settings That Are Controlled by Subscriber or Subscriber Template Settings chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html. In earlier versions, you could adjust unsupported settings in the Advanced Settings Tool to turn on a beta first look version of the Dropped Call Recovery feature for all subscribers associated with a Cisco Unity server. The Dropped Call Recovery settings in Advanced Settings Tool have been removed. If you are upgrading to Cisco Unity version 5.0(1), the values of the settings are not retained.

Offering More Options at the Main Menu


Using the Custom Key Map tool, you can specify whether the following options are added to the Main menu:

Subscriber System Transfer Greetings Administrator Broadcast Message Administrator

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.

Offering the Option to Revert to Default Message Playback Speed


Using the Custom Key Map tool, you can map a key that when pressed during message playback will revert the message playback speed to the subscribers default playback speed. The key would be used by subscribers who have changed the playback speed and want to go back to their default speed while listening to a message. 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.

Press-or-Say Phone Input Style


The Press-or-Say phone input style gives subscribers the options of pressing the key or saying the number that corresponds to a menu option. In addition, when addressing messages or adding names to private lists, subscribers can say the names of recipients instead of spelling them by using the phone keypad. To improve the accuracy of name recognition, you can enter alternate spellings for the names of individual subscribers. Alternate spellings are entered on the Alternate Name page for individual subscribers in the Cisco Unity Administrator. For more information, see the Managing Voice-Recognition Features chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html. You enable the Press-or-Say input style 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 voice-recognition features are enabled for subscribers, then subscribers can enable or disable the Press-or-Say input style over the phone or using the Cisco Unity Assistant. For information on configuring the Press-or-Say phone input style, see the Managing Voice-Recognition Features chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity. For information on using this input style, see the Using the Press-or-Say Phone Input Style chapter in the User Guide for the Cisco Unity Phone Interface at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_user_guide_list.html. The Press-or-Say feature requires an additional server running voice-recognition software. See the Voice Recognition section on page 28, under New FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1).

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.

New FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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.

Specifying Per Subscriber Whether Messages Are Sent Upon Hang-Up


You can change how Cisco Unity behaves when calls are disconnected while subscribers are in the process of sending, replying to, or forwarding a message. Calls can be intentionally or unintentionally disconnected when a subscriber hangs up or a cell phone loses its charge or signal. By default, Cisco Unity sends the message if the call is disconnected in the following circumstances:

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.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) OL-13607-04

New FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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 Feature Scripts


Cisco Unity includes a set of sample communication scripts that describe Cisco Unity 5.0 (1) and Cisco Unity 4.2(1) features. The scripts are text files located in the \\commserver\feature_script\ directory. You can use the scripts as they are written, or customize them to suit the needs of your organization, to record voice messages that promote Cisco Unity to subscribers and explain how these features can improve their productivity. For more information on using and customizing the feature scripts, refer to the Sample Communication Scripts section in the Subscriber Orientation chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_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.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1)

OL-13607-04

New FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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.

Custom Key Map Wallet Card Wizard Enhancements


The wizard allows you to specify the key press mappings to include on the card for the Main, During Message, After Message, and Send menus. In addition, the generated wallet card includes Entering Recipients and Selecting Recipients menus instead of During Message shortcuts.

Distribution of Microsoft Updates Recommended for Use with Cisco Unity


Beginning with the release of Cisco Unity 5.0, we will no longer post English, French, German, and Japanese versions of the Microsoft updates that are recommended for use with Cisco Unity. Instead, Microsoft updates, in English only, will be included in a new Cisco Unity Server Updates wizard, available at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity_msft_updates. The Cisco Unity Server Updates wizard will be updated once a month, after Microsoft releases new updates for the affected software. To use the Cisco Unity Server Updates wizard to install Microsoft updates for Windows, SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000, Internet Explorer, and Exchange, you must install the English-language version of Windows. If you install Windows in French, German, or Japanese, the Server Updates wizard will not run; you must download Microsoft updates from the Microsoft website. The currently shipping Cisco Unity Platform Configuration discs (PCDs) install Windows in English and allow you to choose the language in which the Windows user interface appears (English, French, German, or Japanese). Therefore, if you use a PCD to install Windows, you can use the Cisco Unity Server Updates wizard to install the Microsoft updates recommended for use with Cisco Unity.

Simulating Abbreviated Extensions


You can simulate abbreviated extensions by using prepended and postpended digits for call handlers and subscriber mailboxes. When such digits are defined, they will be prepended and postpended to any extension that a caller dials while listening to the greeting for the call handler or subscriber mailbox. Cisco Unity first attempts to route the call to the prepended/postpended extension. If the prepended/postpended extension is not valid, Cisco Unity attempts to route the call to the dialed extension. In the following example, the call handler named Sales is configured with the prepended digits 123 and the postpended digits 456. When a caller dials 1000 while listening to the greeting for the Sales call handler Cisco Unity attempts to route the call to extension 1231000456; if the prepended/postpended extension is not valid, Cisco Unity attempts to route the call to extension 1000. You can set up multiple call handlers for which callers are able to enter the same digits (for example 1000) to reach a support person, but the calls can be routed to a support person appropriate to the particular call handler (for example, a Technical Support call handler or a Sales call handler) because of the presence of the prepended and postpended digits. You use the Advanced Settings Tool to enable this feature. The setting is called AdministrationExpose Prepend and Postpend Digits for Call Handlers and Subscribers. You configure prepended and postpended digits on the applicable Caller Input page for a subscriber template, an individual subscriber, or a call handler in the Cisco Unity Administrator or in the Bulk Edit utility.

New FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

Subscriber Partitioning for Message Addressing by Phone


Cisco Unity allows you to associate subscribers with directory handlers to control who they can address messages to and who they can add to distribution lists by phone. This can be useful for setting up a multi-tenant system where there is a need to prevent subscribers in one group from sending messages to subscribers in another group. To partition accounts, you define message addressing search scopes by associating subscribers with directory handlers. When you associate subscribers with directory handlers, you can have Cisco Unity restrict their search scopes to the search option selected for the directory handlerwhich can be a dialing domain, the local Cisco Unity server, a location, a class of service, or a public distribution list. For information on partitioning subscriber accounts, refer to the Partitioning Subscriber Accounts for Message Addressing by Phone section in the Setting Up Features That Are Controlled by Subscriber or Subscriber Template Settings chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity, at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Tracking Unified Messaging Subscribers


The License Features page in Cisco Unity Administrator and the Unity Licensing console display the number of Unified Messaging subscribers as designated by the new Cisco Unity Subscriber Type class of service setting. Tracking the number of Unified Messaging subscribers can be useful for a system that includes both Unified Messaging and Voice Messaging subscribers.

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. For information on installing and configuring a separate voice-recognition server, refer to Appendix A, Installing and Configuring a Voice-Recognition Server in the Cisco Unity installation guide.

Cisco Unity Conversation Changes


In addition to the new functionality described in the Cisco Unity Conversation Enhancements section, some default settings and functionality have changed in the Cisco Unity conversation. The changes are described in the following sections:

Conversation Behavior for Replying to All Recipients of a Message, page 29 Conversation Settings Removed from Advanced Settings Tool, page 30 Custom Key Map Conversations Preserved During an Upgrade, page 30 Cisco Unity Assistant: Send Message Style Setting Moved to the Phone Menu Preferences Page, page 30 Menu Repeats, page 30 Specifying the Transfer Settings for Alternate Contact Numbers, page 31 Switching Search Mode by Pressing ## or 00, page 31

Conversation Behavior for Replying to All Recipients of a Message


The following changes have been made to how Cisco Unity handles replying to all recipients of a message that was sent to multiple subscribers and/or distribution lists:

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.

Changed FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

Conversation Settings Removed from Advanced Settings Tool


The following settings are no longer available in the Advanced Settings Tool:

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.

Custom Key Map Conversations Preserved During an Upgrade


If you used the Custom Key Map utility to create a custom conversation in Cisco Unity version 4.0(5) or later, the custom keypad mapping is preserved during an upgrade. You no longer need to restore the custom keypad mapping.

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.

Changed FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

Specifying the Transfer Settings for Alternate Contact Numbers


When using the Alternate Contact Number feature, you can configure Cisco Unity to use subscribers active transfer rule settings, including call holding and call screening options. Cisco Unity will still use the number for the transfer that is specified in the Alternate Contact Number field, but the transfer settings (release, supervised, call holding, etc.) comes from the active transfer rule. By default, Cisco Unity uses a release transfer when transferring callers to an alternate contact number. You use the Advanced Settings Tool to enable this setting, which is called ConversationACN Follows Current Transfer Rule.

Switching Search Mode by Pressing ## or 00


When subscribers address messages, edit private lists, or find messages by phone, they search for a subscriber by spelling the name or by entering the extension. Subscribers can switch search mode by pressing ## or 00. Due to limitations when pressing 00 to switch search mode, the prompt that tells users they can switch search mode no longer mentions 00 as an option. It mentions only the ## option. Users who are used to pressing 00 can still do so; Cisco Unity responds to either option. For more information on the limitations of using the 00 option, see the Delay When Subscribers Press 00 to Switch Search Modes in Cisco Unity Conversation section on page 46. Additionally, the system-wide setting that was used to adjust the time that Cisco Unity waits for the second # key when subscribers switch between addressing by name and ID has been removed. 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. For more information see the Conversation Settings Removed from Advanced Settings Tool section on page 30 and the Conversation Timeout Setting Added to Cisco Unity Administrator section on page 19

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.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) OL-13607-04

31

Changed FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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.

Cisco Unity with Exchange: Private Secure Messaging


The Private Secure Messaging feature is now referred to as Secure Messaging. The following enhancements have been made to the Secure Messaging feature:

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

Changed FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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).

Message Notifications and Message Waiting Indicators


The change described in this section affects visual message waiting indicators (MWIs) and message notifications when a subscriber listens to a new message that is the only new message or that is the last new message of a group of messages. The MWI remains on until the subscriber chooses an action that marks the message as read. In previous versions, the MWI turned off when Cisco Unity began playing the message and turned back on if the subscriber chose an action that marked the message as new. When the subscriber chooses an action that marks the message as new, Cisco Unity does not initiate a repeat message notification (to a text pager, phone, etc.) for the message. In previous versions, Cisco Unity initiated another notification when the subscriber chose an action that marked the message as new. For a new message, the following actions during or after message playback mark a message as read:

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:

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) OL-13607-04

Changed FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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.

Multiple Transfer Rules


Each subscriber has three transfer rules that you can customize: one for standard hours and one for closed hours of the active schedule, and an alternate transfer rule that, when enabled, overrides the standard and closed transfer rules. This gives subscribers the option to have their calls routed to a different extension when the office is closed, or they might configure an alternate transfer rule that routes their calls directly to voice mail while they are out of the office. You configure the transfer rules on the applicable Call Transfer page for a subscriber template or an individual subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator, or by using the Bulk Edit utility. Subscribers can also configure transfer rules themselves using the telephone interface or on the Transfer and Screening Options page in the Cisco Unity Assistant. By default, the alternate transfer rule is enabled for subscribers. In earlier versions, subscribers only had one transfer rule. If you are upgrading to Cisco Unity version 5.0(1), the existing values of subscriber transfer rules are retained as their alternate transfer rule.

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.

Phone System Integrations Limited Only by Licensed Ports


Cisco Unity supports multiple simultaneous phone system integrations that are limited only by the number of licensed voice messaging ports. There are, however, the following exceptions:

Only one integration with a circuit-switched phone system through voice cards is supported on the Cisco Unity server.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1)

OL-13607-04

Changed FunctionalityRelease 5.0(1)

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

QoS Setting Is Configurable


The Quality of Service (QoS) settings for call signaling (SIP and SCCP) and for the media stream (RTP audio) can be configured in UTIM on the Tool menu. Note that the QoS settings apply only to SIP, SCCP, and PIMG integrations. The default settings have been changed to the following:

Call signalingCS3 Media stream (RTP audio)EF

Route Forwarded Calls by the First or Last Redirecting Number


Cisco Unity supports the option of routing calls based on either the first or last redirecting number when a call is forwarded to Cisco Unity. Note the following:

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.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) OL-13607-04

Tempu Logs Provide a History of Each Installation and Upgrade


The Tempu logs provide a history of installations and upgrades on the Cisco Unity server by the following changes:

The logs are saved in the CommServer\Logs directory. The logs have file names in the format Tempu_<date>_<time>.log. When a new Tempu log is created, the old logs are not deleted and the new log is not appended to an existing log. A new Tempu log is saved as a new and separate file. All Tempu logs will remain in the CommServer\Logs directory for future reference. One Tempu log is created during Cisco Unity Setup and a second Tempu log is created when the Service Configure Wizard runs.

c. Step 4

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.

Step 5

Extract the contents of each self-extracting executable file:


a. b.

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.

Cisco Unity Malfunctions After Exchange 2000 EDSLock Script Is Run


Microsoft Knowledge Base article 313807, XADM: Enhancing the Security of Exchange 2000 for the Exchange Domain Servers Group, describes how to obtain and use the Microsoft Exchange 2000 script called EDSLock, which restricts access granted to the Exchange Domain Servers groups in a forest. Running the EDSLock script in a forest that includes a Cisco Unity server will cause Cisco Unity to malfunction. When you install Cisco Unity after you run the EDSLock script, Cisco Unity works properly because the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard sets the permissions on the message store services account that are necessary to counteract the effects of the EDSLock script on Cisco Unity. You will need to rerun the Permissions wizard to update the permissions on the message store services account when you:

Run the EDSLock script after you install Cisco Unity. Add an Exchange 2000 server to the forest and home mailboxes for Cisco Unity subscribers on that server. Add a mailstore to an Exchange 2000 server and home mailboxes for Cisco Unity subscribers in that mailstore.

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

Installation and Upgrade Information

Customizing Cisco Unity System Prompts Is Not Supported


System prompts are standard recordings that come with the Cisco Unity software, and they cannot be changed by phone or by using the Cisco Unity Administrator or the Cisco Unity Assistant. System prompts are played in different combinations in multiple places in the Cisco Unity conversation (phone interface). All system prompts are located in the CommServer\Localize\Prompts directory and subdirectories. Do not delete system prompts, as this can cause system errors. Customizing system prompts is not supported. All system prompts are automatically deleted and replaced whenever you upgrade Cisco Unity, including maintenance upgrades.

Example Subscriber Account Is Not Created During Cisco Unity Installation


In earlier versions of Cisco Unity, the Example Subscriber account was created during installation to provide an example configuration for subscriber accounts. Beginning with Cisco Unity version 4.0(3), the Example Subscriber account is not created, although it is not deleted when you upgrade from an earlier version of Cisco Unity.

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.

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

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1)

44

OL-13607-04

Installation and Upgrade Information

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.x Requires an Upgrade License


Upgrading to Cisco Unity 5.x requires that you purchase an upgrade license. The upgrade license activates Cisco Unity 4.x licensed features on a Cisco Unity 5.x system.

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.

Limitations and Restrictions

Limitations and Restrictions


Cisco Unity with Exchange: Subscriber Lookups Fail to Find Subscriber Names in Japanese
When a subscriber name is entered in Japanese on the Add Subscriber Page in the Cisco Unity Administrator on a fully localized Japanese version of Cisco Unity, callers cannot find the subscriber name by using directory assistance (pressing 555). In addition, subscribers cannot easily address messages to a subscriber with a Japanese name in spelling mode; instead, subscribers should address messages by using the subscriber extension. When a subscriber name is entered in English on the Add Subscriber Page in the Cisco Unity Administrator on a fully localized Japanese version of Cisco Unity, callers can find subscriber names by using directory assistance, and subscribers can use spelling mode to address messages to other subscribers. Alternatively, when the Play All Names feature is enabled for a directory handler and Cisco Unity plays all names listed in the directory, callers can find subscribers by using directory assistance. Subscribers still cannot easily address messages to a subscriber with a Japanese name in spelling mode, however. Cisco Unity plays the names of subscribers for caller selectionrather than requiring the caller to search by spelled namewhen the Play All Names check box is checked on the directory handler Profile page in the Cisco Unity Administrator. Cisco Unity automatically plays the names of all subscribers in the directory when either of the following conditions is true:

One to five subscriber names are listed in the directory. There are more than 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.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1)

46

OL-13607-04

Limitations and Restrictions

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.

Replacing Disks in a RAID


For any server in a Cisco Unity system (the Cisco Unity server, a failover server, a Cisco Unity Bridge server, a message store server, or a dedicated DC/GC), Cisco Unity supports only replacing a defective disk in a RAID with a blank disk to repair the RAID. Replacing disks in a RAID for any other reason is not supported.

Caution

Do not replace a disk in a RAID with a disk that contains data, even if the replacement disk was originally a disk in the same RAID in the same server.

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.

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1) OL-13607-04

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.

Windows Terminal Services


Using Windows Terminal Services on a Cisco Unity 5.x server for the following functions is not supported:

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.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, click User Management > Application User. On the Find and List Application Users page, click Add New. On the Application User Configuration page, do the following sub-steps to create a CTI user account that will have access to all subscriber phones for Phone View:
a. b. c.

In the User ID field, enter a unique name for the CTI user. For example, enter PhoneViewUser. In the password field, enter a password for the user. In the Confirm Password field, re-enter the password that you entered in Step 3b.

Step 4

In the credential policy for the Phone View CTI user, ensure that the User Must Change at Next Login check box is unchecked and the Does Not Expire check box is checked. Otherwise, Phone View will not work. Associate the subscriber phone devices for which you want to enable Phone View with the new CTI user. Click Save. Continue with the To Enable Phone View on the Cisco Unity Server procedure on page 12-2.

Installing a Cisco Unity Demonstration System


A demonstration system is a fully functioning version of Cisco Unity that has the limits noted in the Limits on a Cisco Unity Demonstration System section on page 59. A demonstration system uses one of two different license files:

Default license file (available on the Cisco Unity server). Time-limited license file (must be ordered from Cisco).

Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 5.0(1)

OL-13607-04

Installing a Cisco Unity Demonstration System

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:

Enabling a Cisco Unity Demonstration System with the Default License File section on page 60. Enabling a Cisco Unity Demonstration System with the Time-Limited License File section on page 61. Upgrading a Cisco Unity 4.x Demonstration System to a Cisco Unity 5.0(1) Demonstration System section on page 62

See also the Converting a Cisco Unity Demonstration System to a Standard System section on page 63, if applicable.

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.

Installing and Configuring Voice-Recognition Software on a Cisco Unity Server for Demonstration Purposes Only

Step 2

Install the voice-recognition software on the Cisco Unity server:


a. b. c.

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.

Step 5

Configure the voice-recognition software:


a.

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

Close the Cisco Unity Administrator.

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.
