Downloading ViewMail 7.0(1)
Revised 03 April, 2012
Do the following procedure to download the software from the Cisco Download Software website.
To Download ViewMail 7.0(1)
Step 1 On a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, go to the Cisco Unified Communications Applications Downloads page at http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/pub/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240.
Note To access the software download page, you must be logged on to Cisco.com as a registered user.
Step 2 In the tree control on the Downloads page, expand Products>Voice and Unified Communications>IP Telephony>Unified Messaging>Cisco Unity Connection, and click Cisco Unity Connection ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook Version 7.x.
Step 3 In the Latest Releases folder, click VMO 7.0(1).
Step 4 In the list of MSI files, download the applicable CiscoUnityConnection.VMO7.0.1.<language code>.msi file to the directory of your choice. (For example, for U.S. English, the filename is CiscoUnityConnection.VMO7.0.1.ENU.msi.)
Installing ViewMail 7.0(1)
ViewMail can be installed on user workstations throughout your organization in a number of ways. Installation and deployment methods include:
•Installing ViewMail from a network drive. See the "Installing ViewMail 7.0(1) from a Network Drive" section. Alternatively, consider providing users with network access to the ViewMail setup application and a procedure so that they can install ViewMail themselves.
•Using a software publishing tool—such as Microsoft IntelliMirror or Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)—to deploy ViewMail to multiple user workstations at one time. For information on using either of the tools, see the Microsoft website.
•If you use IntelliMirror, deploy ViewMail by assigning or publishing it to a computer, rather than to an individual user. You can also use IntelliMirror or SMS for future upgrades of ViewMail.
•Deploying ViewMail with Microsoft Office, as part of the Office 2007 or Office 2003 suites.
Caution When installing a new version of Microsoft Outlook on user workstations, you must first uninstall ViewMail. After you have installed Outlook, reinstall ViewMail. Otherwise, ViewMail will seem to be installed properly with the new version of Outlook, but it may not work.
By default, ViewMail files are installed in the directory C:\Program Files\ViewMail for Outlook. You can specify a different directory during a first-time installation of ViewMail.
ViewMail installs and uses the following files and registry keys:
|
|
•AvTsmSL.dll
•AvVox.acm
•AvWavSL.dll
•SL_g729a.acm
•VMOLogging.dll

Installing ViewMail 7.0(1) from a Network Drive

To Install ViewMail 7.0(1) from a Network Drive
Step 1 Confirm that ViewMail requirements have been met. See the "Requirements" section.
Step 2 Browse to the directory on the network drive where you downloaded the ViewMail file.
Step 3 Double-click the file CiscoUnityConnection.VMO7.0.1.<language code>.msi. (For example, CiscoUnityConnection.VMO7.0.1.ENU.msi.)
Step 4 Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Configuring ViewMail
To configure ViewMail, see the "Configuring Cisco Unity Connection ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook" section in the "Configuring an E-Mail Account to Access Cisco Unity Connection Voice Messages" chapter of the User Workstation Setup Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/user_setup/guide/7xcucusx.html.
Limitations and Restrictions
Only One ViewMail Language Can Be Installed
ViewMail can be installed in only one language at a time on a user workstation. If a second language is installed, the first language is automatically uninstalled.
Some Software on User Workstations Can Cause ViewMail to Fail
Some security and VPN software installed on user workstations can cause ViewMail to fail when users use the phone as the playback device for the Media Master. In particular, software that offers personal firewalls is problematic.
Disable or remove security and VPN software from user workstations. Alternatively, you can set up the Media Master so users can play messages in ViewMail with computer speakers.
ViewMail Limitations Regarding Secure Messages
Added February 22, 2010
•Secure messages cannot be forwarded by using ViewMail for Outlook.
•ViewMail for Outlook supports only playing secure messages.
•Messages that are composed or replied to by using ViewMail for Outlook are not sent as secure, even when users are assigned to a class of service for which the Require Secure Messaging field is set to Always or to Ask.
Yamaha Synthesizer Software Is Not Supported
Yamaha sound synthesizer software is not supported on Cisco Unity Connection user workstations with ViewMail.
