For example, a subscriber presses 3335678 on the phone to address a message. Table 9-1 shows some of
the possible matches:
To accommodate a variety of numbering plans, Cisco Unity searches for a match in stages, as the
following sections describe:
1. Search for a Distribution List or Subscriber Extension on the Local Server, page 9-5
2. Search for a Subscriber Extension in the Dialing Domain and Then the Global Directory, page 9-5
3. Search for a Location Dial ID and Subscriber Extension at the Matching Location, page 9-6
4. Blind Addressing Search for a Delivery Location Dial ID, page 9-7
Search for a Distribution List or Subscriber Extension on the Local Server
Cisco Unity searches for a matching number by expanding the search scope in stages, starting with the
local server, then the dialing domain, and finally the global directory. The scope of the search is dictated
by the Subscriber Searches: Limit Searches To setting. If a match is found at any scope level, the search
stops and does not continue to the next scope level.
If the subscriber entered a one- or two-digit number, the search begins with Cisco Unity looking for a
match among the private distribution lists owned by the subscriber. If a match is found, the search stops,
and the matched list is returned for confirmation.
If a match has not been found, or if the subscriber entered three or more digits, Cisco Unity searches for
a matching subscriber extension on the local server. The search includes extensions for regular
Cisco Unity subscribers and external subscribers. Both primary extensions and alternate extensions are
searched. If a match is found, the search stops.
When a match is on a subscriber extension, whether or not the conversation plays the recorded voice
name and extension of the matched subscriber for confirmation depends on if the conversation is
configured to do so, and if the recorded voice name exists. You can customize how the conversation
confirms subscriber message addressing matches by using the Advanced Settings tool, available in Tools
Depot, to change the setting for Subscriber Addressing Confirm Match Mode.
If a match has not been found, Cisco Unity searches for a matching public distribution list extension.
Public distribution lists, whether created on the local Cisco Unity server or not, are always considered
local in scope for addressing purposes. Thus, if the scope is set to Local Server, subscribers can still
address to a distribution list created on another Cisco Unity server. If a match is found, the search stops,
and the matched list is returned for confirmation.
Search for a Subscriber Extension in the Dialing Domain and Then the Global Directory
If a match has not been found, and if allowed by the search scope setting, the search expands to
subscriber extensions in the dialing domain (if it exists). If a match is found, the search stops, and the
name is returned for confirmation. If a match still has not been found, and if allowed by the scope setting,
