Setting Up Cisco Unity to Use VPIM Networking
This section describes the prerequisites for setting up VPIM Networking, and provides a task list containing a
Prerequisites
Before starting the setup, verify that the following prerequisites have been met:
•Cisco Unity is already installed on the server(s), and they are connected to the network as applicable for your installation.
•The remote voice messaging system with which Cisco Unity will be networked meets the requirements as described in the “Support Policy for VPIM Voice Messaging Systems” section of the Supported Hardware and Software, and Support Policies for Cisco Unity, at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
•A license file with a VPIM license has been obtained and installed on the Cisco Unity Bridgehead server.
•Cisco Unity and Exchange meet the requirements as described in the “VPIM Networking Requirements” section in Networking Options Requirements for Cisco Unity, at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
For installations with multiple Cisco Unity servers that access that same directory, you should first set up the servers for Digital Networking as described in the “Digital Networking” chapter before setting up VPIM Networking. After the Cisco Unity servers have been set up for Digital Networking, verify the following settings:
•Verify that the addressing search scope is set to either the dialing domain or the global directory on all of the networked servers so that Cisco Unity subscribers, no matter which server they are associated with, can address messages to VPIM delivery locations and/or VPIM subscribers. See the “Setting the Addressing Search Scope” section on page
•If you want outside callers to be able to reach VPIM subscribers from the automated attendant (for example, from the opening greeting) or directory assistance:
–Verify that the Cisco Unity server(s) on which the VPIM subscribers will be created are in the same dialing domain as the Cisco Unity server that outside callers call into. See the “Customizing the Primary Location” section on page
–Verify that the automated attendant and directory handler(s) search scopes are set to the dialing domain scope. See the “Setting the Directory Handler Search Scope” section on page
