Road Map to the Networking Documentation: Where to Go from Here
If your installation includes multiple Cisco Unity servers networked together and accessing a common
directory, much of the information that you need is included in the “Digital Networking” chapter. Start
with “Digital Networking” even if you will also be using other networking options.
If you plan to use AMIS to communicate with another voice messaging system, see the “AMIS
Networking” chapter.
If you plan to use VPIM to communicate with another voice messaging system, see the “VPIM
Networking” chapter.
If you plan to use the Bridge to communicate with Octel systems on an Octel analog network, see the
Networking Guide for Cisco Unity Bridge, at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_feature_guides_list.html.
Regardless of which networking option you choose, you need to customize the settings for the primary
location. See the “Primary Location Settings” chapter.

Tab l e 1-20 System Broadcast Messages
AMIS Bridge VPIM
Not available. Regular voice messages can be sent to a
bulletin mailbox on an Octel Aria system
or to a System Distribution List (SDL) on
an Octel Serenade system. Similarly,
system broadcast messages can be sent to
a bulletin mailbox or SDL. Both types of
message will be transmitted in the same
way by the Cisco Unity Bridge and
treated identically when delivered to the
bulletin mailbox or SDL.
System broadcast messages can be sent
between Cisco Unity with Exchange
servers that do not share the same
directory, or between Cisco Unity with
Exchange and Cisco Unity Express
servers, using VPIM. Other types of
remote messaging systems will treat the
system broadcast message in the same
way they would treat a regular voice
message.
