Primary Location Settings

Overview: Primary Location Settings

Each Cisco Unity server has a primary location, which is created during installation and which cannot
be deleted. The primary location identifies the Cisco Unity server and contains the networking
information needed to communicate with other locations, which can be Cisco Unity servers or other
voice messaging systems. With the exception of public distribution lists, all subscribers and other
Cisco Unity objects (such as call handlers) created on your Cisco Unity server are associated directly or
indirectly with the primary location.
No matter which networking option Cisco Unity uses to send and receive voice messages, you need to
customize the primary location of your Cisco Unity server.
See the following sections:
Primary Location Profile Settings, page 9-1—This section provides information about the settings
that identify the Cisco Unity server to other Cisco Unity servers or to other voice messaging
systems, and provides guidelines for assigning location Dial IDs.
Primary Location Addressing Option Settings, page 9-3—This section provides information about
the settings that allow you to select the scope of the search performed when a subscriber uses the
phone to address a message by name or extension.

Primary Location Profile Settings

The primary location profile settings contain the network information needed to identify the Cisco Unity
server to other Cisco Unity servers or to other messaging systems. No matter which networking option
you use, the profile settings for the primary location need to be customized.
For additional information about primary location profile settings, see the “Primary Locations Profile
Page” section in the “Network Settings” chapter of the Interface Reference Guide for the Cisco Unity
Administrator, available at
