Appendix: Using Alternate Extensions and MWIs Alternate MWIs
To Add Administrator-Defined Alternate Extensions
Step1 In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to any Subscribers > Alternate Extensions page.
Step2 In the Administrator-Defined Alternate Extensions table, enter an extension in any row. When entering
characters in the Alternate Extensions table, consider the following:
•You can enter an extension up to 30 characters in length. (SIP integrations can use up to 30
alphanumeric characters.)
•Each extension must be unique—up to the dialing domain level, if applicable.
•Enter digits 0 through 9. Do not use spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
•For SIP integrations, you can also enter a valid alias for a SIP URL. For example, if the URL is
SIP:aabade@cisco.com, enter aabade. Do not use spaces.
•Rows are numbered as a convenience. You can enter alternate extensions in any order, and you can
have blank rows.
Step3 Repeat Step 2 as necessary.
Step4 Click the Save icon. Alternate extensions are enabled for all rows in the table.
To Modify or Delete Alternate Extension(s)
Step1 In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to any Subscribers > Alternate Extensions page.
Step2 Do any of the following:
•To modify an extension, change the extension in the Alternate Extensions table.
•To delete extensions, check the check boxes next to the alternate extensions that you want to delete.
•To remove all alternate extensions listed in the table, click Select All.
Step3 Click the Save icon.
Step4 Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 as necessary.
Note You can run the CiscoUnity Bulk Import wizard when you want to add alternate extensions for multiple
subscribers at once. When you do, the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard appends the new alternate
extensions to the existing table of alternate extensions, beginning with the first blank row.
Alternate MWIs
You can set up CiscoUnity to activate alternate MWIs when you want a new message for a subscriber
to activate the MWIs at up to 10 extensions. For example, a message left at extension 1001 can activate
the MWIs on extensions 1001 and 1002.
Cisco Unity uses MWIs to alert the subscriber to new voice messages. MWIs are not used to indicate
new e-mail, fax, or return receipt messages.
