2.Classes of Service

A class of service (COS) defines limits and permissions for subscribers who use Cisco Unity. For example, a COS dictates the maximum length of subscriber messages and greetings. Although most COS settings are not applicable to VPIM subscribers, they still must be members of a COS. In the Cisco Unity Administrator, a COS is specified in each subscriber template; thus, a subscriber is assigned to the COS that is specified in the template upon which the subscriber account is based. Cisco Unity includes predefined classes of service that you can modify. You can also create new classes of service. For details, see the “Managing Classes of Service” chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity.

3.Restriction Tables

Each COS specifies a restriction table for call transfers, one for message notification, and one for fax deliveries. Cisco Unity applies the restriction table associated with the COS of a subscriber, and displays an error message if the phone number is not allowed. Cisco Unity comes with predefined restriction tables that you can modify.

Although most restriction table settings do not apply to VPIM subscribers because they cannot log on to Cisco Unity or use the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA), administrators can enter call transfer numbers for VPIM subscribers. For security purposes, you should modify the restriction table used for transfers in the COS to which VPIM subscribers belong, as necessary. For details, see the “Managing Restriction Tables” chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity.

4.Public Distribution Lists

Public distribution lists are used to send voice messages to multiple subscribers at the same time. Cisco Unity assigns new subscribers to the public distribution lists that are specified in the template on which the subscriber account is based. For details, see the “Managing Distribution Lists” chapter in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity.

Public distribution lists correspond to distribution groups in Active Directory. The distribution lists are listed in the address book for Microsoft Outlook (or other e-mail client), unless they are explicitly hidden. To help prevent e-mail from being sent to VPIM subscribers, you may want to create lists that contain only VPIM subscribers, and hide these distribution lists from the Outlook address book. The option to hide distribution lists is available on the Subscribers > Public Distribution Lists > Profile page in the Cisco Unity Administrator.
