Chapter 7 VPIM Networking
VPIM Concepts and Definitions
Non-numeric characters in the source data for the extension field are removed when creating the VPIM
subscriber extension; for example, if the TEL property is used and contains the number (555)888-2233,
the subscriber extension would be formed from the digits 5558882233. If the rule that is configured for
mapping the incoming phone number data cannot be successfully applied, the creation of the VPIM
subscriber will fail.
When the CsVPIMConnector service automatically creates VPIM subscribers, the Active Directory
contact is given an alias in the following format:
VPIM_<DeliveryLocationDialID>_Extension
The service will also apply the subscriber template that is specified in the delivery location configuration
when the VPIM subscribers are created.
Extension One of the following:
• TEL property with no
qualifier
• TEL property with qualifier
TYPE=voice
• Mailbox number in the
header From address
• Mailbox number in the From
address
For example, if the From address
contains “Terry Bader<8882233
@remotevoicemailsystem.
com>”, the mailbox number used
as the source of the extension
would be 8882233.
The extension is derived from
the appropriate source field
according to the rule specified in
the Map VPIM Subscriber
Extensions To setting.
Note that this field is set only
when the subscriber is created,
and will not be changed by an
automatic modification, even if
the rule for mapping extensions
has changed. If you wish to
change the rule, extensions for
existing VPIM subscribers can
be changed manually using the
Cisco Unity Administrator or the
Bulk Edit tool.
Recorded Voice
Name
• Originator-Spoken-Name
attachment
• Originator-Spoken-Name
attachment
The Voice Connector converts
the audio, by using the codec
specified for inbound audio
conversion on the associated
delivery location, before
including it in the directory
message.
Remote Mailbox
Number
One of the following:
• TEL property with no
qualifier
• TEL with qualifier
TYPE=voice
• Mailbox number in the
header From address
• Mailbox number in the From
address
For example, if the From address
contains “<8882233@remote
voicemailsystem.com>”, the
Remote Mailbox Number would
be 8882233.
If a remote phone prefix is
specified for the delivery
location, the prefix is removed
from the source number to create
the remote mailbox number.
The rule applied to map the TEL
property or mailbox number to a
VPIM subscriber extension is
not applied to the remote
mailbox number.
