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).
