To Verify Identified Subscriber Messaging Between Networked Subscribers
Do this test if the Cisco Unity servers have been configured for identified subscriber messaging between
networked subscribers.
Step 1 Veri fy tha t C isc o Unity plays an internal greeting for subscribers who leave messages, by doing the
following sub-steps:
a. From a subscriber phone, call a subscriber who is associated with another Cisco Unity server, and
allow the call to be forwarded to voice mail.
b. Verify that the internal greeting plays.
c. Leave a test message.
Step 2 Verify that subscribers are identified when the recipient listens to a message, by doing the following
sub-steps:
a. Log on to the applicable Cisco Unity server as the recipient subscriber and listen to the test message
that you recorded in Step 1.
b. Verify that the subscriber conversation announces who the message is from by playing the recorded
voice name of the sending subscriber.
c. After listening to the message, verify that the subscriber conversation allows you to reply to the
message.
To Verify Live Reply Between Subscribers on Different Cisco Unity Servers in the Dialing Domain
Do this test if the Cisco Unity servers have been configured for live reply (via release to phone system
transfer) between subscribers on different Cisco Unity servers in the same dialing domain.
Step 1 From a subscriber phone, call a subscriber who is associated with another Cisco Unity server, and allow
the call to be forwarded to voice mail.
Step 2 Leave a message.
Step 3 Log on to the applicable Cisco Unity server as the recipient subscriber and listen to the test message that
you recorded in Step 2.
Step 4 After listening to the message, verify that the subscriber conversation allows you to live reply to the
message by pressing 4-4 (or by pressing 8-8 if Optional Conversation 1 is used).
Step 5 Verify that the live reply call is correctly transferred to the phone of the subscriber who left the message.
