Chapter 8 Installing and Configuring Cisco Unity Software

Securing Cisco Unity and the Cisco Unity Server

UnityMTA—When callers leave messages for subscribers, the messages are temporarily stored in the UnityMTA directory on the Cisco Unity server. If a problem with the network prevents Cisco Unity from handing off the messages to Domino, the messages remain on the hard disk of the Cisco Unity server until they can be delivered. While Domino is unavailable, callers can still leave messages. When the Domino server or network is back on line, voice messages stored in the UMR are routed to subscriber mailboxes.

UMR conversation—When subscribers log on to Cisco Unity and their mail files are unavailable, the UMR conversation provides limited functionality by allowing subscribers to listen to messages left for them in the UnityMTA directory. The UMR conversation is disabled by default. After a subscriber logs on, if Cisco Unity is unable to access the mail file of the subscriber, Cisco Unity plays the failsafe prompt and hangs up. (“This system is temporarily unable to complete your call. Call again later. Goodbye.”)

To Enable the Unity Messaging Repository Conversation

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 Conversation—(Unity Domino only) Enable UMR Conversation. Step 4 In the New Value box, enter 0 to enable the conversation, and click Set.

Step 5 When prompted, click OK.

Step 6 Click Exit.

Step 7 Restart the Cisco Unity software for the registry change to take effect.
