•The following chapters of the User Moves, Adds, and Changes Guide for Cisco Unity Connection:
•User With Mailbox—For users who need to receive voice mail or use personal call routing rules and other features of Cisco Unity Connection.
•User Without Mailbox—For users who do not need to receive voice mail, but need to be given access to administer the system. Users without voice mailboxes do not have a phone extension and are not counted as licensed users.
Based on Template
Select the template on which to base the new user account. The template affects most user settings.
For importing Cisco Unified Communications Manager users, only templates for users with voice mail appear in the list.
Alias
A unique text name for the user.
Users enter the alias to log on to the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant. Administrators enter the alias to log on to Cisco Unity Connection Administration.
First Name
The first name of the user.
Last Name
The last name of the user.
Display Name
Enter a descriptive name for the user.
Consider the following as you enter display names for users, contacts, and distribution lists:
•The voice-recognition conversation may have trouble recognizing display names that contain special characters and diacritical marks.
•When a user, contact, or distribution list does not have a recorded name, Cisco Unity Connection tries to play the display name or the concatenated first and last names.
SMTP Address
(Optional) Enter an SMTP address for the user. This address identifies the user in an SMTP-enabled client such as Outlook Express. If you do not provide one, Cisco Unity Connection uses the alias to form the address.
Note that the SMTP address cannot include non-ASCII characters. Therefore, if the alias contains non-ASCII characters, you must provide an acceptable SMTP address.
Mailbox Store
The mailbox store in which you want to create the mailbox for this user.
Extension
Enter the extension that the phone system uses to connect to the user.
Cross-Server Transfer Extension
Enter the extension to release transfer calls to if a caller on another Cisco Unity Connection server attempts to transfer to the user but the cross-server transfer attempt is unsuccessful. The extension you enter here is also used to release transfer the call if cross-server transfer is not configured for the home Cisco Unity Connection server of the user on the originating server.
Note If the cross-server transfer attempt succeeds, this field is not used, and the home server of the user handles the call according to the active call transfer rule configured for the user.
Outgoing Fax Number
Enter the phone number of the fax machine that the user sends faxes to for printing.
Users enter the alias to log on to the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant. Administrators enter the alias to log on to Cisco Unity Connection Administration.
If you change the alias for a user, Cisco Unity Connection automatically creates an SMTP proxy address for the previous alias. This allows other Connection users to reply to messages that were sent from the previous alias and have the replies reach the user at the new alias.
When Connection is integrated with an LDAP directory, the Alias field in Connection cannot be changed for any user who is integrated with an LDAP user. However, if you are using Active Directory as the LDAP directory, you can change the value of the LDAP field that is mapped to the Alias field, and the change is replicated to Connection the next time the Connection database is synchronized with the LDAP directory. This also causes Connection to automatically create an SMTP proxy address for the previous alias.
Caution If you are using an LDAP directory other than Active Directory and you change the value of the LDAP field that is mapped to the Connection Alias field, the Connection user will be converted to a non-LDAP-integrated user.
First Name
The first name of the user.
Last Name
The last name of the user.
Display Name
Enter a descriptive name for the user.
Consider the following as you enter display names for users, contacts, and distribution lists:
•The voice-recognition conversation may have trouble recognizing display names that contain special characters and diacritical marks.
•When a user, contact, or distribution list does not have a recorded name, Cisco Unity Connection tries to play the display name or the concatenated first and last names.
SMTP Address
(Optional) Enter an SMTP address for the user. This address identifies the user in an SMTP-enabled client such as Outlook Express. If you do not provide one, Cisco Unity Connection uses the alias to form the address.
Note that the SMTP address cannot include non-ASCII characters. Therefore, if the alias contains non-ASCII characters, you must provide an acceptable SMTP address.
Initials
(Optional) Enter the initials of the user.
Title
(Optional) Enter a title for the user.
Employee ID
(Optional) Enter an ID for the user.
Extension
Enter the extension that the phone system uses to connect to the user.
Cross-Server Transfer Extension
Enter the extension to release transfer calls to if a caller on another Cisco Unity Connection server attempts to transfer to the user but the cross-server transfer attempt is unsuccessful. The extension you enter here is also used to release transfer the call if cross-server transfer is not configured for the home Cisco Unity Connection server of the user on the originating server.
Note If the cross-server transfer attempt succeeds, this field is not used, and the home server of the user handles the call according to the active call transfer rule configured for the user.
Outgoing Fax Number
Enter the phone number of the fax machine that the user sends faxes to for printing.
Outgoing Fax Server
Click the applicable fax server for the user.
Partition
Select the partition to which the object belongs. Partitions are grouped together into search spaces, which are used to define the scope of objects (for example, users and distribution lists) that a user or outside caller can reach while interacting with Cisco Unity Connection. Most objects can belong only to one partition; the exception is users, who can have their primary extension in one partition and alternate extensions in other partitions. A partition can belong to more than one search space.
Note that extensions must be unique within a partition, and that partitions can contain objects that do not have an associated extension (for example, some contacts and system distribution lists).
Search Scope
Select a search space to apply to the user account. Search spaces are used to define the scope of objects (for example, users and distribution lists) that the user can reach while interacting with Cisco Unity Connection.
Phone System
Click the phone system on which the user extension was created.
Class of Service
Select the class of service to which the user is assigned. The class of service controls many user settings.

Set for Self-Enrollment at Next Login
Check this check box so that the user is asked at the next logon to record a name and a standard greeting, to set a password, and to choose whether to be listed in directory assistance.
When the user has enrolled, the check box is unchecked automatically. This setting is most commonly used for new users.
Default setting: Check box checked.
List in Directory
Check this check box to list the user in directory assistance, which outside callers can use to reach users.
When allowed by the class of service, users can change this setting by phone or by using the Cisco Unity Assistant.
Default setting: Check box checked.
Send Non-Delivery Receipts on Failed Message Delivery
Check this check box so that Cisco Unity Connection routes non-delivery receipt (NDR) messages to the sender when message delivery fails.
Default setting: Check box checked.
Skip Password When Calling From a Known Extension
Check this check box if you do not want this user to be asked for a password when calling from this extension.
Note There are security risks when using this setting. It is possible for a hacker to spoof the caller ID of a phone call. If a hacker can reach the Cisco Unity Connection system with a spoofed caller ID that matches a primary or alternate extension on which this setting has been enabled, the hacker has access to user mailboxes.
Use Short Calendar Caching Poll Interval
(Calendar integrations only) Check this check box so that the Outlook calendar information for the user is updated according to the frequency that is configured in the Short Calendar Caching Poll Interval (In Minutes) field on the System Settings > Advanced Settings > External Services page.
When this check box is not checked, the Outlook calendar information for the user is updated according to the frequency that is configured in the Normal Calendar Caching Poll Interval (In Minutes) field on the System Settings > Advanced Settings > External Services page.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
Voice Name
This is the recorded name of the user, system contact, distribution list, or handler. You can record the name here, or a user can record the name by using the self-enrollment conversation, the setup options, or by using the Cisco Unity Assistant.
To record the voice name here, use the Media Master. Use the Open File option on the Options menu of the Media Master to use a prerecorded WAV file as the recording.

Time Zone
Select the desired time zone for the user, or check the Use System Default Time Zone check box. The default time zone is the time zone set on the Cisco Unity Connection server. Change this setting only for those users who are located in a different time zone than the Connection server.
The user time zone setting is used for:
•Message Received Time—When a user listens to messages by phone, Connection announces the time that a message was received by using the local time specified for the user.
•Message Notification Schedule—The schedule displayed on the user message notification pages and in the Cisco Unity Assistant uses the local time specified for the user.
Note that even if you change the time zone setting for a user, the time zone setting on the Connection server is used to determine when standard and closed greetings are played for callers.
Language
Select the language in which the Cisco Unity Connection conversation plays instructions to users. Select Use System Default Language or select a language from the list. Note that this setting does not apply to the voice-recognition conversation.
The language setting for users also controls the language used for Text to Speech (TTS).

•Apply Personal Call Transfer Rules—Connection ignores the settings on this page and applies personal call transfer rules when this basic transfer rule is active.
When using the Apply Personal Call Transfer Rules option, first verify that users have configured personal call transfer rule sets in the Personal Call Transfer Rules web tool. If no rule sets are configured, all calls are transferred to the primary extension.
Status
Indicate whether the transfer option is enabled and for how long:
•Disabled—The transfer option is not in effect.
•Enabled With No End Date and Time—The transfer option is enabled until you disable it.
•Enabled Until—Cisco Unity Connection performs the selected transfer option until the specified date and time arrives. Click Enabled Until, and then select the month, day, year, and time at which Connection will automatically disable the transfer option.
Note By design, the standard transfer rule cannot be disabled.
Transfer Calls To
Select one of the following settings:
•Greeting—When this option is selected, the call is transferred as follows:
–For user settings—to the user greeting, without ringing the user phone.
–For call handler settings—to the call handler greeting.
•Extension—Enter an extension to which the call is forwarded.
Transfer Type
Select how Cisco Unity Connection transfers calls. Use this setting with caution and only if you understand its implications on the phone and voice messaging systems.
•Release to Switch—Connection puts the caller on hold, dials the extension, and releases the call to the phone system. When the line is busy or is not answered, the phone system—not Connection—forwards the call to the user or handler greeting. This transfer type allows Connection to process incoming calls more quickly. Use Release to Switch only when call forwarding is enabled on the phone system.
•Supervise Transfer—Connection acts as a receptionist, handling the transfer. If the line is busy or the call is not answered, Connection—not the phone system—forwards the call to the user or handler greeting. You can use supervised transfer whether or not the phone system forwards calls.
The Transfer Type option is unavailable when Transfer Incoming Calls is set to the My Personal Greeting option.
Transfer options apply only to indirect calls; they do not apply when an unidentified caller or another user dials a user extension directly.
Rings to Wait For
Select the number of times the extension rings before Cisco Unity Connection plays the user or handler greeting.
Set this value to at least three to give users a chance to answer. Avoid setting to more than four, especially if the call may be transferred to another extension, where the caller might have to wait for another set of rings. This value should be at least two rings fewer than the phone system setting for forwarding calls.
This option is unavailable when Transfer Incoming Calls is set to the Greeting option or when Release to Switch is selected.
Note Transfer options apply only to indirect calls; they do not apply when an unidentified caller or another user dials a user extension directly.
Play the "Wait While I Transfer Your Call" Prompt
Check this check box to have Cisco Unity Connection play "Wait while I transfer your call" to callers while performing the transfer.
This option is unavailable when Transfer Incoming Calls is set to the Greeting option.
Default setting: Check box checked.
If Extension Is Busy

•Send Callers to Voice Mail—Connection plays the busy greeting and allows the caller to leave a voice message.
•Put Callers on Hold Without Asking—Connection puts callers on hold.
•Ask Callers to Hold—Connection gives the caller the option of holding.
These options are unavailable when Release to Switch is selected or when Transfer Calls To is set to the Greeting option.
Note Transfer options apply only to indirect calls; they do not apply when an unidentified caller or another user dials a user extension directly.
Tell Me When the Call Is Connected

•Use System Default Language—Connection plays the system prompts in the system default language.
•Inherit Language from Caller—Connection determines the language to use for system prompts on a per-call basis, depending on the language set by the handler or routing rule that processed the call. If the language is set to Inherited for every rule and handler that processes a call, then the system prompts are played in the system default language.
Or select a specific language from the list.
Note Depending on your license settings, United States English may not be available.
Indicate the action that Cisco Unity Connection allows when a message has been left by an unidentified caller or by a user who has not explicitly logged on (when identified user messaging is enabled):
•Mark Normal—Messages left by unidentified callers are never marked urgent.
•Mark Urgent—All messages left by unidentified callers are marked urgent. This may be useful for Sales or Technical Support calls.
•Ask Callers—Connection asks unidentified callers whether to mark their messages urgent.
Check this check box to have Cisco Unity Connection mark messages as secure that are left for this user by unidentified callers or by users who have not explicitly logged on (when identified user messaging is enabled).

Field
Description
Key
To edit caller input settings, click the applicable key. The Edit Caller Input page opens for that key.
Action
(Display only) Indicates the action that Cisco Unity Connection takes when a caller presses this key. If the key is configured for a call action such as "Ignore" or "Take Message," the action is displayed; if the key is configured to send calls to a call handler, interview handler, directory handler, conversation, or user, "Send Caller To" is displayed, and the Target field shows the object that receives the call.
Target
(Display only) Indicates the object that receives the call if the key is configured to send calls to a call handler, interview handler, directory handler, conversation, or user. Otherwise, this field is blank.
Status
(Display only) Indicates whether Cisco Unity Connection allows additional input (Unlocked) or ignores additional input (Locked) when a caller presses this key.
Wait for Additional Digits ____ Milliseconds
Indicate the amount of time that Cisco Unity Connection waits for additional input after callers press a single key that is not locked. If there is no input within this time, Connection performs the action assigned to the single key.
We recommend a value of 1,500 milliseconds (one and one-half seconds).
Note This option is unavailable if Ignore Caller Input is enabled on the Greetings page.
Default setting: 1,500 milliseconds.
Prepend Digits to Dialed Extensions—Enable
Check this check box to simulate abbreviated extensions by using prepended digits for call handlers and user mailboxes. When such digits are defined, they are prepended to any extension that a caller dials while listening to the greeting for the call handler or user mailbox.
Cisco Unity Connection first attempts to route the call to the prepended extension. If the prepended extension is not valid, Connection attempts to route the call to the dialed extension.
For example, a call handler named Sales is configured with the prepended digits 123. When a caller dials 1000 while listening to the greeting for the Sales call handler, Connection attempts to route the call to extension 1231000; if the prepended extension is not valid, Connection attempts to route the call to extension 1000.
Digits to Prepend
Enter the digits that are prepended to any extension that a caller dials while listening to the greeting of the user or call handler.

(Available only for Cisco Unified Communications Manager phone systems on which Phone View is enabled) Check this check box to allow the user to see search results on the LCD screen of the Cisco Unified IP Phone when using the Find Message or the Display Message menu.
Uncheck this check box to disable Phone View for the user.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
Times to Repeat Menu When User Does Not Respond
Specify how many times Cisco Unity Connection repeats a menu when a user has not responded to it. The range of valid entries is 0 to 10.
Note This setting is not available for the voice-recognition conversation.
Default setting: 1 time.
Wait for First Touchtone or Voice Command ____ Milliseconds
Specify how long Cisco Unity Connection waits for a user to press a first key or say a voice command after playing a menu. This setting is also known as the "First Digit Timeout." The range of valid entries is 500 to 10,000 milliseconds.
Default setting: 5,000 milliseconds.
Wait for Additional Key Presses When Entering Names, Extensions, and Passwords ____ Milliseconds
Specify how long Cisco Unity Connection waits for additional key presses after the user has pressed a key when entering user names or extensions to address a message, update passwords, change call transfer or message notification numbers, and so on.
The range of valid entries is 1,000 to 10,000 milliseconds.
Default setting: 3,000 milliseconds.
Wait for Additional Key Presses When Entering Multiple Digit Menu Options ____ Milliseconds
Specify how long Cisco Unity Connection waits for additional key presses after the user has pressed a key that represents the first digit of more than one possible key combination in a particular phone menu.
For example, in the After Message menu for the Classic conversation, users can press 4 to reply to a message, 42 to reply to all, or 44 to call the user.
This setting also applies when using ## to switch addressing modes.
The range of valid entries is 250 to 5,000 milliseconds.
Default setting: 1,500 milliseconds.
Wait Between Words in Voice Commands (Phrase Incomplete Timeout) ____ Milliseconds
Specify how long Cisco Unity Connection waits for a user to say additional words before acting on the words already spoken. For example, a user might say "Play new messages," pause for a moment, and then add, "from Harriet Smith." In such cases, the value you enter here determines how long Connection waits for the user to finish speaking before playing new messages. The range of valid entries is 300 to 10,000 milliseconds.
(Available only when users are assigned to a class of service that has the Allow Users to Use Voice Recognition feature enabled.) Use this setting to adjust the likelihood that Cisco Unity Connection prompts the voice recognition user to confirm user intentions. For example, if users complain that the system mistakenly hears them say "cancel" or "hang up," you can try increasing the value of this setting to prevent users from accidentally committing actions they did not intend. Alternatively, if users complain that the system prompts for confirmation too frequently, try adjusting this setting to a lower value.
The range of valid entries is 0 to 100. When the value is set to 0, Connection never asks for confirmation; when the value is set to 100, Connection always asks for confirmation.
A realistic range of values for this setting is 30 to 90. The default value should reliably filter out most errors and provide confirmation when necessary for most systems. Note that if the value is set too low, the system may improperly recognize and act on commands.
Voice Recognition Speech Sensitivity (0 to 100)
(Available only when users are assigned to a class of service that has the Allow Users to Use Voice Recognition feature enabled.) Use this setting to compensate for potential background noise on a call.
A value of 0 indicates that the speech engine is not very sensitive, and the user must speak very loudly to be understood.
A value of 100 indicates that the speech engine is very sensitive, and any noise at all is considered a speech event.
Default setting: 50.
After Logging On, Play
Check the following check boxes to indicate what Cisco Unity Connection plays after a user logs on:
•User's Recorded Name—Connection plays the recorded name of the user.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
•Alternate Greeting Notification—Connection notifies users when they have their alternate greeting turned on. Connection plays the notification immediately after users log on by phone, and then plays a menu from which users can choose to leave their alternate greeting on, turn it off, or play it.
This check box controls only whether users are notified that their alternate greeting is enabled when they access Connection by phone; users are always notified when their alternate greeting is enabled in the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA), even when this check box is not checked.
Default setting: Check box checked.
•User's New Messages Automatically—Connection takes users directly to their new messages after they log in; users do not hear message counts or the Main menu. However, if applicable, users hear about any of the following potential conditions before being taken to new messages: full mailbox warnings, broadcast messages, expired password notifications, and first time enrollment.
Default setting: Check box not checked.

•Sender's Information—Check this check box so that Cisco Unity Connection plays caller information about a message sender before playing the message. The information played depends on how Connection is set up.
By default, Connection plays the following information when the Sender's Information check box is checked:
–For messages left by an identified user, Connection plays the recorded name of the user. If the user does not have a recorded name, Connection plays the primary extension associated with the user instead.
–For messages left by an unidentified caller, Connection does not provide the phone number (ANI or caller ID) information before playing the message.
•Include Extension—Use in conjunction with the Sender's Information check box. Check this check box to have Connection include the extension of the user who left the message, in addition to the recorded name, before playing the message.
•Message Number—Check this check box to have Connection announce the sequential number of a message ("Message one...") before playing the message.
•Time the Message Was Sent—Check this check box to have Connection announce the time that the message was recorded by the caller.
•Sender's ANI—For messages left by an unidentified caller, check this check box to have Connection provide the phone number (ANI or caller ID) information before playing the message.
While Playing Each Message
Set the following, as applicable:
•When a Call Is Disconnected or the User Hangs Up—Indicate whether you want Cisco Unity Connection to leave messages marked as new or mark them as saved (read) if users access the message body and then hang up or are disconnected before indicating how to manage the message. (Connection also retains the message as-is unless users indicate otherwise after they reply to or forward a message, call the user, transfer to the operator or another extension, and so on.)
Default Setting: Mark Message New.
•Fast Forward Message by ____ Milliseconds—Specify the amount of time that Connection skips ahead when users fast-forward while listening to messages.
Note that Connection does not skip ahead in a message based on speed-adjusted increments. Regardless of whether message playback speed is set to slow, normal, fast, or fastest, skipping ahead in each case jumps to the same point in the message.
Default Setting: 5 seconds.
•Rewind Message by ____ Milliseconds—Specify the amount of time that Connection skips back when users rewind while listening to messages.
Note that Connection does not skip back in a message based on speed-adjusted increments. Regardless of whether message playback speed is set to slow, normal, fast, or fastest, skipping back in each case jumps to the same point in the message.
Default Setting: 5 seconds.
After Playing Each Message, Play
Check the Time the Message Was Sent check box to have Cisco Unity Connection announce the time that the message was recorded by the caller.
Default setting: Check box checked.
When Deleting a Message

Description
User Can Send Broadcast Messages to Users on This Server
Check this check box to allow users to send broadcast messages to all users on the local Cisco Unity Connection server.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
User Can Update Broadcast Messages Stored on This Server
Check this check box to allow users to edit broadcast messages. By checking this check box, you also enable users to send broadcast messages to all users on the local Cisco Unity Connection server.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
Enter a Recipient By
Select how the conversation prompts users to address messages to other users:
•Spelling the Last Name Then First Name
•Entering the Extension
•Spelling the First Name Then Last Name
Note Addressing by name requires lettered keypads on user phones.
This setting does not apply when using the voice-recognition conversation.
Regardless of the option you choose here, as users address a message by phone, they can switch between addressing by name and addressing by extension by pressing the # key twice. However, when the Disable Spelled Name Searches check box is checked on the System Settings > Advanced > Conversations page, users can address messages by phone only by entering user extensions.
Confirm Recipient by Name
Enable this option if you want users to hear a confirmation of a selected name when addressing users. By default, Cisco Unity Connection does not confirm by repeating the name of a user that was just selected from a list.
You might want to enable this option when users address by ID rather than by spelling the name.
Note Users always hear a confirmation when using the voice-recognition conversation.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
Continue Adding Names After Each Recipient
Enable this option so that Cisco Unity Connection asks users to continue adding names after each recipient when sending and forwarding messages to multiple recipients.
By default, when users address messages by phone, Connection allows them to add a single recipient and then prompts them to indicate what they want to do next with a key press (for example, "To add another recipient, press 1. For message options, press 3. To record, press #."). Users who send and forward messages to multiple recipients may find pressing 1 to continue addressing after each recipient tedious and time-consuming. By enabling this option, you can significantly streamline the addressing process for users who frequently send and forward messages to multiple recipients.
Note Users are always prompted to continue adding names when using the voice-recognition conversation.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
Automatically Add Recipients to Addressing Priority List
Check this check box to have Cisco Unity Connection automatically add message recipients to a weighted list of names the first time that the user addresses to them, and then adjust the weight of names based on subsequent usage.
When the user addresses messages by spelling part of a name, if there are multiple matching names, Connection presents the matches that appear in the addressing priority list first, sorted by weight. When the user addresses messages by using voice commands, Connection uses the weight of a name in the addressing priority list to increase the likelihood that the speech recognition engine selects the name as a match if it is phonetically similar to the name spoken by the user.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
When a Call Is Disconnected or the User Hangs Up
Indicate whether you want Cisco Unity Connection to send or discard messages when calls are disconnected while users are in the process of sending, replying to, or forwarding a message.
Calls can be intentionally or unintentionally disconnected when a user hangs up or a mobile phone loses its charge or signal, and so on. By default, Connection sends the message if the call is disconnected in the following circumstances:
•When a user is replying to or sending a message—As long as the message has at least one recipient and the recording is more than one second (1,000 milliseconds) in length. This means that Connection sends the message even though the user may not have finished recording or addressing the message.
•When a user is forwarding a message—As long as the message has at least one recipient. This means that Connection sends the message even though the user may not have recorded an introduction or completely addressed the message.
When Discard Message is selected, Connection does not send a message unless users have pressed # to confirm that they are ready to send the message. If the call is disconnected before a user has a chance to send the message, Connection deletes the message rather than sending it.
Default setting: Send Message.

New Notification Device
Revised May 2009
Table 1-23 New Notification Device Page
Field
Description
Notification Device Type
Select a type of notification device from the list.
Display Name
Enter a descriptive name for the notification device.
Phone Number
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Enter the phone number, including trunk access code, of the selected device. Use digits 0 through 9 and the following dialing characters in the phone number:
•, (comma) to insert a one-second pause.
•# and * to correspond to the # and * keys on the phone.
Users can change this number by phone.
Extra Digits
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Enter any extra digits that Cisco Unity Connection dials after the phone number. The effect of the extra digits depends on the selected device. For pagers, the extra digits are shown on the pager display.
Duration to Wait Before Dialing Extra Digits
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Cisco Unity Connection can wait a specified number of seconds before dialing the digits in Extra Digits. Use this option if the automatic call progress detection is not reliable (for example, when phone lines are noisy or when ringing patterns are unusual).
Rings to Wait
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Enter the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection allows the user phone to ring before ending the attempt. The setting must be at least 3 rings. Enter a higher number to give a user more time to get to the phone.
Default setting: 4 rings.
Busy Retry Limit
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection tries to reach a user number that is busy. Choose a higher number to reach someone who uses the phone frequently.
Default setting: 4 times.
Busy Retry Interval
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of minutes that Cisco Unity Connection waits between attempts to reach a user number that is busy. Choose a higher number to reach someone who has long phone conversations.
Default setting: 5 minutes.
RNA Retry Limit
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection tries to reach a user who does not answer the phone. Choose a higher number to reach someone who steps away from the phone briefly. Choose a lower number to avoid disturbing others.
Default setting: 4 times.
RNA Retry Interval
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of minutes that Cisco Unity Connection waits between attempts to reach a user who does not answer the phone. Choose a higher number to reach a user who is away from the phone for long periods of time.
Default setting: 15 minutes.
Retries After Successful Attempt
(Cisco Unity Connection 7.1 or later; Applicable only to pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection calls the pager device after the first successful call to the device while the message that triggered the notification is still marked new. Use this setting in conjunction with the Retry Interval After Successful Attempt setting if users need additional reminders of new messages, or if users sometimes do not receive notifications even though the first call to the pager is successful.
If set to a value greater than 0 (zero), Connection makes periodic calls based on the Retry Interval After Successful Attempt until the user checks the message or the retry limit is reached. For example, if Retries After Successful Attempt is set to 2 and Retry Interval After Successful Attempt is set to 15, and the user receives a new message at noon, Connection will call the pager device at noon. If that call is answered, but the user does not check the message before 12:15 pm, Connection calls the pager device again at 12:15 pm. If the user does not check the message before 12:30 pm, Connection calls the pager device a second time at 12:30 pm.
Note This setting generates a series of notifications that is separate from the series that is generated if you enable the Repeat Notification If There Are Still New Messages setting on the Edit Notification Device page. To avoid confusing the user with multiple repeating notifications, we recommend that you use either the Retries After Successful Attempt setting or the Repeat Notification If There Are Still New Messages setting, but not both.
Enter a value between 0 and 100. A value of 0 (zero) means that Connection does not retry the notification after the first successful call to the pager.
Default setting: 0.
Retry Interval After Successful Attempt
(Cisco Unity Connection 7.1 or later; Applicable only to pager notification devices.) Indicates the interval at which Cisco Unity Connection retries calling the pager device after the first successful call to the device if Retries After Successful Attempt is set to a value greater than 0 (zero) and the user has not yet checked the message. Use this setting in conjunction with the Retries After Successful Attempt setting if users need additional reminders of new messages, or if users sometimes do not receive notifications even though the first call to the pager is successful.
Enter a value between 0 and 100 minutes. A value of 0 (zero) means that Connection makes additional retries as soon as a port is available to dial the device.
Default setting: 1 minute.
Phone System
(Applicable to phone and pager notification devices only.) Click the phone system that the notification device uses.
Prompt for User ID on Notifications
(Applicable only to phone notification devices.) Indicate whether Cisco Unity Connection should prompt the user to enter a user ID. The user is always asked for a password. Users may prefer not to enter a user ID in order to shorten the time that it takes to log on.
Note Use this setting with caution and only if the phone is never answered by anyone other than the user.
SMPP Provider
(Applicable only to SMS notification devices.) Select the applicable SMPP provider.
To
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Depending on whether you are setting up message notification for a text-compatible cell phone or pager, or for SMS (SMPP) devices:
•For SMTP text message notifications, enter the email address of the user text pager, text-compatible cell phone, or another email account (such as a home email address).
•For SMS (SMPP) text message notifications, enter the phone number of the SMS-compatible device. The format and the number that you enter depends on the SMPP Provider. The provider may require that you include international country codes, beginning with a plus sign (+) and followed by the country code, area, city, or trunk code, and then the number for the device (for example, +12065551234). Do not start with a zero or the international dialing prefix. Do not include spaces, dashes, parentheses or other punctuation.
Up to 128 characters can be entered in this field.
From
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) For text-compatible cell phones or pagers, enter the phone number that the user calls to check messages, or enter alphanumeric text (as applicable) in this field. The From phone number appears in the last line of any SMTP notification. A user can press the Return Call button on many text-compatible cell phones to dial the phone number. The cell phone must support automatic callback in order to use this feature.
For SMS (SMPP) devices, what you enter in this field depends on the SMPP Provider:
•If the SMPP Provider requires a "source address" for the server sending the message, enter the IP address for the Cisco Unity Connection server.
•If the SMPP Provider does not require a "source address," enter the number that the user calls to check messages. The format and the number that you enter depends on the SMPP Provider. The provider may require that you include international country codes, beginning with a plus sign (+) and followed by the country code, area, city, or trunk code, and then the number for the device (for example, +12065551234). Do not start with a zero or the international dialing prefix. Do not include spaces, dashes, parentheses or other punctuation.
Note Consider that some SMPP Providers replace the number that you enter in the From field with their own phone number. For an alternative method of including a call back number, try entering the number that the user calls to check messages in the Message Text field.
Up to 40 characters can be entered in this field.
Message Text
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Enter the text message that the user wants to receive in a text notification. For example, you might enter "Urgent message for Technical Support" for a user who is on call for the technical support department. Every time a message arrives that matches the criteria selected in the message notification settings, Cisco Unity Connection sends the text you enter here.
Note To include a call back number, try entering the number that the user calls to check messages within the message text (for example, enter the number in this format: tel:2065551212).
Up to 160 characters can be entered in this field. (For SMS devices, depending on the character set you configure Connection to use, it is possible that messages that are shorter than 160 characters may be truncated.)
Include Message Information in Message Text
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Check this check box to include information about the new message in the text string that is sent to the notification device. This information can include caller name and caller ID (if available); the type of message (voice, email, fax); the time that the message was received; and, if the message was marked private or urgent, an indication of this status.
Include Message Count in Message Text
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Check this check box if you want the notification to include a count of the number of new messages in the mailbox.
Include a Link to Cisco PCA in Message Text
(Applicable only to SMTP notification devices.) Check this check box to include a link to the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant in the text string that is sent to the SMTP notification device.

Edit Notification Device
Revised May 2009
Table 1-24 Edit Notification Device Page
Field
Description
Enabled
Check this check box to enable the notification device.
Display Name
Enter a descriptive name for the notification device.
Delay Before First Notification Attempt
Specify the delay (in minutes) from the time a message is received until the notification triggers if the message matches the criteria selected in the Notification Rule Events field. You can space notifications on different devices at regular intervals, such as 15 minutes, to achieve a cascading message notification effect.
If the delay time takes the notification out to a time when the device schedule is no longer active, the notification does not take place until the schedule becomes active again (as long as the message is still new).
Enter a value between 0 and 99 minutes.
Default setting: 0 minutes.
Repeat Notification If There Are Still New Messages
Check this check box so that Cisco Unity Connection repeats notifications to a user as long as the user has one or more new messages. When you check this check box, you also enter a notification interval in the Notification Repeat Interval field. If additional new messages come in during the interval, Connection combines notification for these messages with the original notification and sends a single notification at the end of the interval (provided there are still new messages in the user mailbox at this time). Use this setting if users want to receive a single "batch" notification for all new messages that repeats periodically until they check their messages.
Note For pager notification devices, this setting generates a series of notifications that is separate from the series that is generated if you set the Retries After Successful Attempt setting to a non-zero value. To avoid confusing the user with multiple repeating notifications, we recommend that you use either the Retries After Successful Attempt setting or the Repeat Notification If There Are Still New Messages setting, but not both.
Default setting: Check box not checked.
Notification Repeat Interval
Use this setting in conjunction with the Repeat Notification if There Are Still New Messages check box. Specify the interval (in minutes) at which Cisco Unity Connection repeats a notification after the initial notification is sent, and continues sending notifications at the specified interval. For example, if you set the repeat notification interval to 5 minutes at 11:47 a.m., Connection notifies the user of new messages at 11:50 a.m., 11:55 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 12:05 p.m., 12:10 p.m., and so on. The notification schedule is effective for as long as the user has one or more new messages.
The range for the Notification Repeat Interval is 0 to 60 minutes.
Note A Notification Repeat Interval of 0 minutes disables repeat notification.
Default setting: 0 minutes.
On Notification Failure
(Applicable only to phone, pager, and SMS notification devices.) Message notification can be set to "chain" to a series of notification devices if an attempt to send notification to the first selected device fails. When configuring Cisco Unity Connection to send notification to another device when notification to the first (or previous) device fails, note the following:
•For On Notification Failure, click Send To, and click the device that you want Connection to notify next if notification to this device fails. This applies to the first notification device and all others in the chain except the last.
•For the second device and all subsequent devices in the chain, uncheck all Notification Rule Events check boxes. If you enable any notification events, message notification for this device starts immediately and does not wait for the notification failure of the previous device. Your notifications do not chain, they all trigger at once.
•Do not configure SMTP devices for chaining message notification, except as the last device in the chain; Connection does not detect notification failure for SMTP devices.
Notification Rule Events
Check the following check boxes, as applicable, to have Cisco Unity Connection send a notification to this device when new messages are received.
•All Messages—Connection sends a notification to this device when any new message is received, including dispatch and other voice messages, and fax messages. Check the Urgent Only check box to have Connection send the notification only if the new message is marked urgent.
•Dispatch Messages—Connection sends a notification to this device when any new message is received that is marked as a dispatch message. Check the Urgent Only check box to have Connection send the notification only if the new dispatch message is also marked urgent.
•All Voice Messages—Connection sends a notification to this device when any new voice message is received (including dispatch messages). Check the Urgent Only check box to have Connection send the notification only if the new voice message is marked urgent.
•Fax Messages—Connection sends a notification to this device when any new fax message is received. Check the Urgent Only check box to have Connection send the notification only if the new fax message is marked urgent.
•Calendar Appointments (Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices)—Connection sends a notification to this device for an upcoming Outlook appointment.
•Calendar Meetings (Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices)—Connection sends a notification to this device for an upcoming Cisco Unified MeetingPlace or Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express meeting.

RNA Retry Interval
(Applicable only to phone and pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of minutes that Cisco Unity Connection waits between attempts to reach a user who does not answer the phone. Choose a higher number to reach a user who is away from the phone for long periods of time.
Default setting: 15 minutes.
Retries After Successful Attempt
(Cisco Unity Connection 7.1 or later; Applicable only to pager notification devices.) Indicates the number of times that Cisco Unity Connection calls the pager device after the first successful call to the device while the message that triggered the notification is still marked new. Use this setting in conjunction with the Retry Interval After Successful Attempt setting if users need additional reminders of new messages, or if users sometimes do not receive notifications even though the first call to the pager is successful.
If set to a value greater than 0 (zero), Connection makes periodic calls based on the Retry Interval After Successful Attempt until the user checks the message or the retry limit is reached. For example, if Retries After Successful Attempt is set to 2 and Retry Interval After Successful Attempt is set to 15, and the user receives a new message at noon, Connection will call the pager device at noon. If that call is answered, but the user does not check the message before 12:15 pm, Connection calls the pager device again at 12:15 pm. If the user does not check the message before 12:30 pm, Connection calls the pager device a second time at 12:30 pm.
Note This setting generates a series of notifications that is separate from the series that is generated if you enable the Repeat Notification If There Are Still New Messages setting. To avoid confusing the user with multiple repeating notifications, we recommend that you use either the Retries After Successful Attempt setting or the Repeat Notification If There Are Still New Messages setting, but not both.
Enter a value between 0 and 100. A value of 0 (zero) means that Connection does not retry the notification after the first successful call to the pager.
Default setting: 0.
Retry Interval After Successful Attempt
(Cisco Unity Connection 7.1 or later; Applicable only to pager notification devices.) Indicates the interval at which Cisco Unity Connection retries calling the pager device after the first successful call to the device if Retries After Successful Attempt is set to a value greater than 0 (zero) and the user has not yet checked the message. Use this setting in conjunction with the Retries After Successful Attempt setting if users need additional reminders of new messages, or if users sometimes do not receive notifications even though the first call to the pager is successful.
Enter a value between 0 and 100 minutes. A value of 0 (zero) means that Connection makes additional retries as soon as a port is available to dial the device.
Default setting: 1 minute.
Phone System
(Applicable to phone and pager notification devices only.) Click the phone system that the notification device uses.
Prompt for User ID on Notifications
(Applicable only to phone notification devices.) Indicate whether Cisco Unity Connection should prompt the user to enter a user ID. The user is always asked for a password. Users may prefer not to enter a user ID in order to shorten the time that it takes to log on.
Note Use this setting with caution and only if the phone is never answered by anyone other than the user.
SMPP Provider
(Applicable only to SMS notification devices.) Select the applicable SMPP provider.
To
(Applicable only to SMTP and SMS notification devices.) Depending on whether you are setting up message notification for a text-compatible cell phone or pager, or for SMS (SMPP) devices:
•For SMTP text message notifications, enter the email address of the user text pager, text-compatible cell phone, or another email account (such as a home email address).
•For SMS (SMPP) text message notifications, enter the phone number of the SMS-compatible device. The format and the number that you enter depends on the SMPP Provider. The provider may require that you include international country codes, beginning with a plus sign (+) and followed by the country code, area, city, or trunk code, and then the number for the device (for example, +12065551234).

New Alternate Extension
Table 1-26 New Alternate Extensions Page
Field
Description
Phone Type
Select the type of phone number from the list.
Display Name
Enter a descriptive name for the alternate extension.
Phone Number
Enter a unique phone number for the alternate extension. Alternate extensions can be used for various reasons, such as handling multiple line appearances on user phones. Alternate extensions can make calling Cisco Unity Connection from an alternate device—such as a mobile phone, a home phone, or a phone at another work site—more convenient. When you specify the phone number for an alternative extension, Connection handles all calls from that number in the same way that it handles calls from a primary extension (assuming that ANI or caller ID is passed along to Connection from the phone system). This means that Connection associates the alternate phone number with the user account, and when a call comes from that number, Connection prompts the user to enter a password and sign in.
When entering characters in the Phone Number field, consider the following:
•You can enter an extension up to 40 characters in length. (SIP integrations can use up to 40 alphanumeric characters.)
•Each extension must be unique within the partition.
•For SIP integrations, you can also enter a valid alias for a SIP URL. For example, if the URL is SIP:aabade@cisco.com, enter aabade. Do not use spaces.
Partition
Select the partition to which the object belongs. Partitions are grouped together into search spaces, which are used to define the scope of objects (for example, users and distribution lists) that a user or outside caller can reach while interacting with Cisco Unity Connection. Most objects can belong only to one partition; the exception is users, who can have their primary extension in one partition and alternate extensions in other partitions. A partition can belong to more than one search space.
Note that extensions must be unique within a partition, and that partitions can contain objects that do not have an associated extension (for example, some contacts and system distribution lists).

Edit Alternate Extension
Table 1-27 Edit Alternate Extensions Page
Field
Description
Phone Type
Select the type of phone number from the list.
Display Name
Enter a descriptive name for the alternate extension.
Phone Number
Enter a unique phone number for the alternate extension. Alternate extensions can be used for various reasons, such as handling multiple line appearances on user phones. Alternate extensions can make calling Cisco Unity Connection from an alternate device—such as a mobile phone, a home phone, or a phone at another work site—more convenient. When you specify the phone number for an alternative extension, Connection handles all calls from that number in the same way that it handles calls from a primary extension (assuming that ANI or caller ID is passed along to Connection from the phone system). This means that Connection associates the alternate phone number with the user account, and when a call comes from that number, Connection prompts the user to enter a password and sign in.
When entering characters in the Phone Number field, consider the following:
•You can enter an extension up to 40 characters in length. (SIP integrations can use up to 40 alphanumeric characters.)
•Each extension must be unique within the partition.
•For SIP integrations, you can also enter a valid alias for a SIP URL. For example, if the URL is SIP:aabade@cisco.com, enter aabade. Do not use spaces.
Partition
Select the partition to which the object belongs. Partitions are grouped together into search spaces, which are used to define the scope of objects (for example, users and distribution lists) that a user or outside caller can reach while interacting with Cisco Unity Connection. Most objects can belong only to one partition; the exception is users, who can have their primary extension in one partition and alternate extensions in other partitions. A partition can belong to more than one search space.
Note that extensions must be unique within a partition, and that partitions can contain objects that do not have an associated extension (for example, some contacts and system distribution lists).
Show/Hide Advanced Settings
Click this button to show or hide the alternate extension advanced settings.
There are several conversation settings that can be customized for alternate extensions. By default, each alternate extension uses the same settings that have been configured for the primary extension of the user. Custom settings for alternate extensions can be used to customize the conversation settings based on the phone number from which the user is calling.
Skip Password When Calling From Known Extension
Check this check box if you do not want this user to be asked for a password when calling from this extension.
Note There are security risks when using this setting. It is possible for a hacker to spoof the caller ID of a phone call. If a hacker can reach the Cisco Unity Connection system with a spoofed caller ID that matches a primary or alternate extension on which this setting has been enabled, the hacker has access to user mailboxes.
Conversation Volume
Select the volume level at which users hear the Cisco Unity Connection conversation:
•Low
•Medium
•High
Users can also adjust the volume temporarily from their phones.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Conversation Speed
Select the speed at which Cisco Unity Connection plays prompts to users:
•Slow
•Normal
•Fast
•Fastest
The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
After Logging On, Play User's New Messages Automatically
Check this check box to have the user go directly to new messages after logging on. When you check this check box, the user does not hear message counts or the main menu.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Use Voice Recognition Input Style
Check this check box for the user to use voice recognition to interact with Cisco Unity Connection when calling from this alternate extension.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Times to Repeat Menu When User Does Not Respond
Specify how many times Cisco Unity Connection repeats a menu if the user has not responded to a menu when calling from this alternate extension. The range of valid entries is 0 to 10 times.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Wait for First Touchtone or Voice Command
Specify how long Cisco Unity Connection waits for the user to press a first key or say a voice command after playing a menu when calling from this alternate extension. The range of valid entries is 500 to 10,000 milliseconds.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Wait for Additional Key Presses When Entering Names, Extensions, and Passwords
Specify how long Cisco Unity Connection waits for additional key presses after the user has pressed a key when entering user names or extensions to address a message, update passwords, change call transfer or message notification numbers, and so on.
The range of valid entries is 1,000 to 10,000 milliseconds.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Wait for Additional Key Presses When Entering Multiple Digit Menu Options
Specify how long Cisco Unity Connection waits for additional key presses after the user has pressed a key that represents the first digit of more than one possible key combination in a particular phone menu.
The range of valid entries is 250 to 5,000 milliseconds.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Wait Between Words in Voice Commands (Phrase Incomplete Timeout)
Specify how long Cisco Unity Connection waits for the user to say additional words before acting on the words already spoken when calling from this alternate extension. The range of valid entries is 300 to 10,000 milliseconds.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
(Available only when users are assigned to a class of service that has the Allow Users to Use Voice Recognition feature enabled.) Use this setting to adjust the likelihood that Cisco Unity Connection prompts the voice recognition user to confirm user intentions. For example, if users complain that the system mistakenly hears them say "cancel" or "hang up," you can try increasing the value of this setting to prevent users from accidentally committing actions they did not intend. Alternatively, if users complain that the system prompts for confirmation too frequently, try adjusting this setting to a lower value.
The range of valid entries is 0 to 100. When the value is set to 0, Connection never asks for confirmation; when the value is set to 100, Connection always asks for confirmation.
A realistic range of values for this setting is 30 to 90. The default value should reliably filter out most errors and provide confirmation when necessary for most systems. Note that if the value is set too low, the system may improperly recognize and act on commands.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Voice Recognition Speech Sensitivity (0 to 100)
Use this setting to compensate for potential background noise on a call from this alternate extension. A value of 0 indicates that the speech engine is not very sensitive and the user might have to yell to be understood. A value of 100 indicates that the speech engine is extremely sensitive and any noise it hears is considered a speech event.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Phone Menu page for a user.
Message Volume
Select the volume level at which Cisco Unity Connection plays the body of messages and recorded introductions for fax messages when users play their messages when calling from this alternate extension:
•Low
•Medium
•High
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Playback Message Settings page for a user.
Message Speed
Select the speed at which Cisco Unity Connection plays the body of messages and recorded introductions for fax messages when users play their messages when calling from this alternate extension:
•Slow
•Normal
•Fast
•Fastest
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Playback Message Settings page for a user.
Fast Forward Message By
Specify the amount of time that Cisco Unity Connection skips ahead when users fast-forward while listening to messages from this alternate extension.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Playback Message Settings page for a user.
Rewind Message By
Specify the amount of time that Cisco Unity Connection skips back when users rewind while listening to messages from this alternate extension.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Playback Message Settings page for a user.
When a Call Is Disconnected or the User Hangs Up (Playback Settings)
Select whether you want Cisco Unity Connection to consider messages new or to mark them as saved (read) if users access the message body and then hang up or are disconnected before indicating how to manage the message.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Playback Message Settings page for a user.
Confirm Deletions of New and Saved Messages
Check this check box to have Cisco Unity Connection ask users to confirm their choice when they delete new and saved messages by phone.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Playback Message Settings page for a user.
Enter a Recipient By
Select how the conversation prompts users to address messages to other users:
•Spelling the Last Name Then First Name
•Entering the Extension
•Spelling the First Name Then Last Name
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Send Message Settings page for a user.
Confirm Recipient by Name
By default, when addressing users, Cisco Unity Connection does not confirm by repeating the name of a user that was just selected from a list. Enable Confirm Recipient by Name if you want users to hear a confirmation of the selected name.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Send Message Settings page for a user.
Continue Adding Names After Each Recipient
Enable this option so that Cisco Unity Connection asks users to continue adding names after each recipient when sending and forwarding messages to multiple recipients.
By default, when users address messages by phone, Connection allows them to add a single recipient and then prompts them to indicate what they want to do next with a key press (for example, "To add another recipient, press 1. For message options, press 3. To record, press #."). Users who send and forward messages to multiple recipients may find pressing 1 to continue addressing after each recipient tedious and time-consuming. By enabling this option, you can significantly streamline the addressing process for users who frequently send and forward messages to multiple recipients.
Note Users are always prompted to continue adding names when using the voice-recognition conversation.
The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Send Message Settings page for a user.
When a Call Is Disconnected or the User Hangs Up (Message Addressing and Sending)
Select whether you want Cisco Unity Connection to send or discard messages when calls are disconnected while users are in the process of sending, replying to, or forwarding a message.
Note The primary extension value for this setting is configured on the Send Message Settings page for a user.
