Considerations

 

 

Calendar Mailbox Name

Enter the first name and last name of the administrator account on the Microsoft Exchange

 

 

server.

 

 

If you are using Cisco Unity with Microsoft Exchange (where Exchange is installed on

 

 

the Cisco Unity server or on a separate server), use “Unity Messaging” unless you have

 

 

configured the account by using a different name.

 

 

If you are not using Cisco Unity, but are using Exchange, use the first and last name of

 

 

the administrator account on the Exchange server.

 

 

To find the administrator first and last name:

 

 

For Exchange 5.5, open Exchange Administrator, select Recipients under your

 

 

Exchange site, and double-click <Administrator User> to view properties.

 

 

For Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2000, open Active Directory Users and Computers,

 

 

select Users, and double-click <Administrator User> to view properties.

 

 

Paging SMTP Server Name

Enter the DNS name or IP address of the e-mail paging server. Personal Assistant uses this

 

 

server to send e-mail pages to users who configure an e-mail paging address and define rules

 

 

that use the address.

 

 

Paging SMTP Server Port

Enter the SMTP port used to send messages to the SMTP server. The default setting is 25.

 

 

Paging SMTP Domain Name

Enter the domain to which the paging SMTP server belongs.

 

 

 

Mailbox Name

 

Enter the Exchange mailbox name for the Cisco Unity profile created on every

only)

 

 

 

 

Number of Cisco Unity

Enter the number of voice mail ports the Cisco Unity license supports. This number

Licenses

 

establishes the maximum number of simultaneous voice mail sessions in Personal Assistant.

(for systems using Cisco Unity

The default setting is 2.

only)

 

 

 

 

Redirection Delay

Enter the time (in milliseconds) for Personal Assistant to wait once it connects to the voice

 

 

mail system before it sends the DTMF redirection sequence to transfer a caller to the

 

 

applicable voice mailbox. The delay can help ensure that a connection to the voice mail

 

 

system is successful before Personal Assistant attempts to transfer the call.

 

 

Personal Assistant uses this setting when processing call routing rules that transfer calls to

 

 

voice mail. A delay that is unneccessarily long can confuse callers, who might hang up

 

 

before getting to the user voice mail box. A delay that is too short can cause calls to be

 

 

dropped because of missed connections. We recommend a setting of 2000 milliseconds for

 

 

Cisco Unity systems, and 4000 milliseconds for other systems, such as Octel. Experiment to

 

 

determine the best setting for your system.

 

 

Voice Mail Server Name

Enter the unqualified DNS name of the voice mail server you want to add, for example,

(for systems using Cisco Unity

Unity1. Note that if you use a fully-qualified name (such as Unity1.domain.com) or an IP

only)

 

address, users will be unable to access voice mail from Personal Assistant.

 

 

 

 

The name is required to add a Cisco Unity server. To add an Octel system server, leave the

 

 

field blank.

 

 

 

Pilot Number

 

Enter the phone extension Personal Assistant will use to access the voice mail system you

 

 

are adding.

 

 

The number is required for all types of voice mail servers.
