Configuring Enhanced Text to Speech

Chapter 4 Configuring Personal Assistant

We recommend that you use 2000 milliseconds for a Cisco Unity system, and 4000 milliseconds for other systems, such as Octel.

c.Add each voice mail server to the list of servers by entering the Voice Mail Server Name (for example, unity1), the Pilot Number (the phone number used to reach voice mail), and the internal and external DTMF Redirection Sequences required to direct a call to a specific voice mailbox. Click Add Server after entering the information.

The voice mail server name is required only for Cisco Unity voice mail systems. The name must be an unqualified DNS name, for example, unity1 rather than unity1.cisco.com. Do not use IP addresses. See the “Messaging Configuration” section on page A-10for more information about these fields.

Step 5 If you configure the system to use the Cisco CallManager PIN, and if you want Personal Assistant to automatically send e-mail notification to users when their PINs are changed, check the Notify Users of PIN Change check box, and enter your corporate e-mail address in the Administrator E-mail Address field. (Personal Assistant uses this e-mail address as the return address for the message.)

Note that Personal Assistant does not send e-mail notification if the system is configured to use the Cisco Unity subscriber phone password as the Personal Assistant PIN.

Step 6 If you are using Cisco Unity, select a field from the Unique Attribute for Corporate Directory list and a field from the Unique Attribute for Message Store list whose entries are likely to match. For example, select cn for the corporate directory field and sAMAccountName for the message store field. The fields are used to integrate Cisco Unity with Personal Assistant so that users who are also Cisco Unity subscribers can browse voice mail.

To validate your choice of attributes, click Test Attributes, enter a value on which to search, and click Test Value.

Step 7 If you are using Cisco Unity, and you want Personal Assistant to use the name the user already recorded in the Cisco Unity voice mail system as the Personal Assistant user spoken name, click Load Recorded Names. Personal Assistant plays this name to callers when they try to call the user. Note that Personal Assistant loads only subscriber names recorded in CCITT Mu-Law format (G.711 Mu-Law).

Step 8 Click Save to save and activate your changes.

If you installed the enhanced Text to Speech server, you must configure Personal Assistant to use it. Otherwise, Personal Assistant uses the default Text to Speech server.

To Configure Enhanced Text To Speech

Step 1 In the Personal Assistant Administration, select System > Enhanced TTS. The Enhanced TTS Configuration page opens.

Step 2 In the TTS Server Name field, enter the name or IP address of the enhanced Text to Speech server.

Step 3 In the TTS Port Number field, enter the TTS Port Number you specified when you installed the enhanced Text to Speech server.

Step 4 In the TTS License Key field, enter the license key for the enhanced Text to Speech feature. Step 5 Click Save to save and activate your changes.

The Number of Licenses shows the number of ports available for your TTS license key.
