QSIG/DPNSS Phone System with Cisco EGW 2200 Integration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection 1.1

Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity Connection

Identified user messaging

Cisco Unity Connection automatically identifies a user who leaves

 

a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension

 

from which the call originated.

 

 

Message waiting indication

When a message is waiting for a user, Cisco Unity Connection

 

notifies the phone system to activate the message waiting indicator

 

(MWI) on the user extension.

 

 

Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems

Cisco Unity Connection can be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time. For the most recent information on and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity Connection with multiple phone systems, refer to the Multiple Phone System Integration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.ht ml.

Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity Connection

 

Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by

 

Cisco Unity Connection.

 

Unlike other integrations, the hunt group mechanism for a QSIG/DPNSS phone system integration is

 

implemented on the Cisco Unity Connection server. Within a port group, each incoming call hunts for

 

an available voice messaging port among all the ports in a round-robin (or circular) fashion. If a voice

 

messaging port in the cluster is set not to answer calls or is not enabled, a call reaching that port may

 

receive a busy signal.

 

Table 1 describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity Connection that can be set on

 

Telephony Integrations > Port of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

The Number of Voice Messaging Ports to Install

The number of voice messaging ports to install depends on numerous factors, including:
