Chapter 8 Using VPIM for Networking with Cisco Unity Express or Other Cisco Unity Systems
Additional Functionality
– If Cisco Unity Express servers are to be included in the distribution list, find out the broadcast
message VPIM ID of each Cisco Unity Express location. For each Cisco Unity Express
broadcast mailbox, create a VPIM subscriber with a remote mailbox number that matches the
broadcast message VPIM ID, and the subscriber location set to the delivery location configured
for the Cisco Unity Express server.
– For remote Cisco Unity locations, create a VPIM subscriber by using any unused remote
mailbox number from three to ten digits in length (any existing VPIM subscriber for the delivery
location can be used in this case, but for ease of administration and to avoid the possibility of
the subscriber being inadvertently deleted, we recommend that you configure a subscriber
account specifically for this purpose).
You can create VPIM subscriber accounts by using the Cisco Unity Bulk Import wizard or the
Cisco Unity Administrator. We recommend that you hide any VPIM subscribers that are created
specifically for broadcast mailboxes from the Exchange address book, so that Outlook users do not
send messages to them, and that you uncheck the List in Directory setting on the VPIM subscriber
profiles so that subscribers do not inadvertently address messages to them. See the “Creating VPIM
Subscribers” section on page 7-22.
2. Create a public distribution list and add VPIM subscribers for each remote Cisco Unity network or
Cisco Unity Express broadcast mailbox that should be included in the broadcast. See the “Creating
and Modifying Public Distribution Lists” section in the “Managing Distribution Lists” chapter of
the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity, at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
3. Optionally, add the USbms mailbox for any digitally networked Cisco Unity servers that you wish
to include in the system broadcast message distribution (you must use Exchange tools to add the
mailbox to the distribution list).
