Procedures for Setting Up Cisco Unity to Use Digital Networking

This section contains all of the procedures necessary to set up each Cisco Unity server for Digital Networking. Consult the “Task List: Setting Up Digital Networking” section on page 2-3for information on the order in which the procedures must be completed.

Enabling License Pooling (Optional)

For each Cisco Unity server, you can choose whether it will participate in the license pool. To place a Cisco Unity server in the pool, obtain a license file with license pooling enabled, and then install the license file on the Cisco Unity server. If a license file on a Cisco Unity server does not have the license pooling feature enabled, the server does not participate in the pool, and compliance for licenses on that server is measured on a per-machine basis.

You obtain the license file by completing registration information on Cisco.com. Shortly after registration, Cisco e-mails the license file. The e-mail from Cisco contains instructions on how to save and store the files.

Note If the system is using failover, you install the license files only on the primary server.

The following information is required during registration:

•The MAC address (physical address) for the network interface card (NIC) in the Cisco Unity computer.

•The product authorization key (PAK) that appears on the sticker located on the front of the sleeve for Cisco Unity DVD 1 or CD 1.

Do the following procedures in the order listed.

To Get the MAC Address of the Cisco Unity Computer

Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server, do one of the following:

•If the server contains a dual NIC that has been configured for fault tolerance, run the NIC-configuration utility provided by the manufacturer, and write down the MAC address (excluding hyphens) that is shared by the two NICs. Then skip the rest of this procedure.

•If the server does not contain a dual NIC or if the server contains a dual NIC that is not configured for fault tolerance, on the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

Step 2 In the Command Prompt window, enter ipconfig /all, and press Enter.
