Procedures for Setting Up Cisco Unity to Use Digital Networking
Note that individual subscribers can be granted permissions to send system broadcast messages either
on the local Cisco Unity server only, or to subscribers on multiple servers.
In organizations where there are multiple Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Express servers that access
different directories, the VPIM Networking option must be used in order to include subscribers on those
servers in the distribution of a system broadcast message. For information on setting up system broadcast
messages to be distributed to VPIM locations, see the “Networked System Broadcast Messages” section
on page 8-7.
Changing the Default Search Scope for the Cisco PCA (Optional)
By default, the search scope for the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) address book is
set to local directory. As a possible convenience to subscribers in your organization, you may want to
change the default search scope to global directory instead. When the default search scope is set to the
global directory, subscribers can search for subscribers at different locations without having to change
the search scope themselves. In addition, subscribers will not need to keep track of which Cisco Unity
subscribers are listed in the local directory and which are listed in the global directory.
Regardless of the default search scope that you specify here, subscribers can still switch between the
local and global directory as they use the Cisco PCA Address Book in the Cisco Unity Inbox and
Cisco Unity Assistant.
Use the following procedure to set the global directory as the default search scope for the Cisco PCA
Address Book. The change affects all subscribers that are associated with the Cisco Unity server.
To Set the Default Search Scope to the Global Directory for the Cisco PCA Address Book
Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server desktop, double-click the Cisco Unity Tools Depot icon.
Step 2 In the left pane, under Administrative Tools, double-click Advanced Settings Tool.
Step 3 In the Unity Settings pane, click Unity Inbox and Assistant—Set Default Address Book Search
Scope.
Step 4 In the New Value list, click 1, and then click Set so that the Address Book searches for subscribers within
the global directory by default.
Step 5 When prompted, click OK.
Step 6 Click Exit.
You do not need to restart Cisco Unity to enable the change.
Enabling Live Reply Between Cisco Unity Servers in the Same Dialing Domain (Optional)
Live reply allows subscribers who listen to their messages by phone to reply to a message from a
subscriber by calling the subscriber. For live reply to work:
• Subscribers must belong to a class of service in which live reply is enabled. Live reply is enabled
on the Subscribers > Class of Service > Messages page in the Cisco Unity Administrator, by
checking the Subscribers Can Reply to Messages from Subscribers by Calling Them check box.
• Transfer numbers must be configured for each Cisco Unity subscriber.
