Chapter 5 Designing a Cisco Unity System with Domino as the Message Store
Unified Messaging Configurations
Cisco Unity requires Editor with Delete Documents permission for the address book that Cisco Unity monitors. A Cisco Unity server can monitor the address books for one domain, including Names.nsf and any secondary address book that may be supporting proxy/remote users (users who do not have mail files in the Domino domain).
For more information on permission requirements, see the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
Unified Messaging Configurations
In a Unified Messaging configuration, Cisco Unity does not own the directory or messaging data but instead uses existing directory (Domino address book) and message store information. The benefits of Unified Messaging include:
•Significantly reduced administrative overhead because the customer does not need to create and maintain separate accounts for
•No dedicated infrastructure for a separate
•Starting with Unified Messaging is administratively easier than starting with a Voice Messaging system and later migrating to Unified Messaging.
Unified Messaging, No Domino Cluster

| When you are setting up two or more Cisco Unity servers, the servers can be networked by using | ||||
|
| Cisco Unity Digital Networking. If the phone system has ports available, you can hook up more than one | ||||

| Cisco Unity server to each phone system. For more information, see Table | ||||

|
|
| Each Domino domain requires a Cisco Unity server. If you need to import Cisco Unity | |||

| Domino domain and use Digital Networking between the servers. | |||
