Appendix: Using Alternate Extensions and MWIs
Alternate MWIs
Setting Up Alternate MWIsCisco Unity can activate alternate MWIs. Note that depending on the phones and phone systems, some
additional phone system programming may be necessary. Refer to the installation guide for the phone
system.
To enable alternate MWIs for extensions, do the following procedure for each subscriber who needs
alternate MWIs.
To Set Up Alternate MWIs for Extensions
Step1 In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the applicable Subscribers > Subscribers > Messages page.
Step2 Confirm that the Use MWI for Message Notification check box is checked.
Step3 Click the Add button located beneath the MWI Extensions table to add a row to the table. By default,
the first row in the table contains an “X” to indicate the primary extension assigned to a subscriber. If
you want one more extension and do not need to activate the MWI on the primary extension, you can
also modify the first row.
Step4 Enter the applicable extension in the Extension field of the table. MWIs are automatically enabled for
all rows in the table. When entering characters in the MWI Extensions table, consider the following:
•Enter digits 0 through 9. Do not use spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
•Enter , (comma) to insert a one-second pause.
•Enter # and * to correspond to the # and * keys on the phone.
Step5 Click the Save icon.
Step6 Repeat Step 3 through Step 5 as necessary.
Note You can run the CiscoUnity Bulk Import wizard when you want to set up alternate MWIs for multiple
subscribers at once.
