Hardware Supported by Cisco UMG 1.0

Table 2 lists supported platforms and the minimum Cisco IOS software release required to support Cisco UMG 1.0 on the enhanced network module NME-UMG and on the enhanced network module extended capacity, NME-UMG-EC.

Table 2 Supported Platforms: Cisco UMG 1.0

Cisco Platform	Cisco UMG Enhanced Network Module (NME-UMG)	Cisco UMG Enhanced Network Module Extended Capacity (NME-UMG-EC)
Cisco 2811 Cisco 2821 Cisco 2851	12.4(11)T	12.4(11)T
Cisco 3825 Cisco 3845	12.4(11)T	12.4(11)T

Cisco UMG 1.0 Enhanced Network Modules

Table 3 lists the models of network module and their respective capacities.

Table 3 Cisco UMG 1.0 Enhanced Network Modules - Models and Capacities

Model	Maximum number of Cisco Unity Express Endpoints Supported per Cisco UMG network module	Number of subscribers on Cisco Unity Express Endpoints Supported per System of 20 Cisco UMGs
NME-UMG	250	125,000
NME-UMG-EC	1000	500,000

A system of 20 Cisco UMGs comprises both primary and secondary messaging gateways; therefore such a system supports 500,000 subscribers instead of 1,000,000.

---

Caution Do not combine the two types of network modules into a single system. Because the messaging gateways must be synchronized, they must all be able to accommodate the same size of data dump.

Cisco UMG Software Licenses and Factory-Set Limits

The Cisco UMG license supports connecting multiple voice mail systems together for directory services. The license allows the Cisco UMG to connect to a maximum number of voice mail systems/nodes. This license does not apply to the number of mailboxes or users per node.

The number of nodes supported is dependent on the Cisco UMG license purchased, per Table 5:

Table 5 Cisco UMG License SKUs

Cisco UMG License SKUs	Number of Nodes Supported
UMG-LIC-25 UMG-LIC-25-UPG=	25 25 node upgrade
UMG-LIC-100 UMG-LIC-100-UPG=	100 100 node upgrade

Cisco UMG hardware modules (NME-UMG, NME-UMG-EC) installed in the router and spare Cisco UMG hardware modules (NME-UMG=, NME-UMG-EC=) are shipped from the factory with the Cisco UMG software and licenses are preinstalled. No additional key or code is required to enable the license.

Software Compatibility

Cisco UMG is compatible with different versions of Cisco Unity Express, Cisco Unity, and Avaya Interchange. Table 6 lists the versions of the different endpoints/nodes with which Cisco UMG is compatible.

Table 6 Software Compatible with Cisco UMG

Product	Version
Cisco Unity Express	2.3 and later versions
Cisco Unity for Microsoft Exchange only	4.2 and later versions
Cisco Unity Connection	7.0 and later versions
Avaya Interchange	5.4

---

Step 1 Open a Telnet session.

Step 2 Telnet to the router by entering telnet ip-address.

Step 3 Enter the user ID and password of the router.

Step 4 Enter the following command to enter the Cisco UMG command environment:

enable

<router password>

service-module integrated-service-engine slot/port session

Step 5 Enter Cisco UMG EXEC mode by entering the following command:

enable

Step 6 Enter the following command to display the Cisco UMG software version:

show software versions

Resolved Caveats—Cisco UMG Version 1.0.3

The following Cisco UMG caveats are resolved in Cisco Unified Messaging Gateway version 1.0.3.

CSCsl90517

Symptom    When a new Cisco UMG is added to the topology, the new Cisco UMG does not receive the directory information from its peer.

Conditions   Whenever a new Cisco UMG is added to the topology. the directory exchange is expected to occur. Using the CLI directory exchange messaging-gateway send full command does not cause the directory exchange.

Workaround   Execute the directory exchange messaging-gateway send full command after waiting about 15 minutes. It takes 15 minutes for the Cisco UMG peer entry in the bad address cache to expire. Reloading the module also causes the cache to be cleared.

CSCsl19808

Symptom    When you use the show run command on Cisco UMG, the output displays the word "null" below the prefix configured for a manually provisioned endpoint:

endpoint 21 cue 

   domain mycompany.com 

   hostname george-test1.mycompany.com 

   prefix 111 number-only 

   null

     end prefix 

end endpoint 

Conditions   You manually provision an endpoint with the prefix number-only mode, which takes you into extension submode. Then you exit out of the extension submode without configuring any extensions.

Workaround   Configure extensions.

CSCsr49137

Symptom    No prompt to reload UMG after a translation rule is removed

Conditions   Normally, when a translation rule is configured on Cisco UMG, the following prompt appears:

Save the change to startup configuration and reload the module for the new configuration 
to take effect.

However, when a translation rule is removed, this prompt does not appear.

Workaround   None

CSCsu40660

Symptom    When sending a message from Cisco Unity Express to Cisco Unity Connection Cisco Unity Express, Cisco UMG does not retain all of the From portion of the message. As a result, Cisco Unity Connection is not able to retrieve the text name of the sender and cannot auto-create contacts.

Conditions   In Cisco Unity Connection with VPIM, auto-creation must be enabled for the Cisco UMG delivery location.

Workaround   None. If the Cisco Unity Connection location is directly configured in Cisco Unity Express (that is, it is configured by bypassing Cisco UMG), then the information contained in the From portion of the message is properly presented to the Cisco Unity Connection server and the contacts created.

CSCsu42186

Symptom    When auto-registering Cisco Unity Express to the Unified Messaging Gateway (UMG), Cisco Unity Express does not send a spoken name with every VPIM message. As a result, remote devices, such as Unity or Unity Connection, do not receive spoken names from messages sent from Cisco Unity Express locations.

Conditions   Cisco Unity Express must be auto-registered to the UMG, which contains a remote Unity or Unity Connection site (or another 3rd party VPIM product) that must receive spoken names from Cisco Unity Express locations.

Workaround   Cisco Unity Express must be registered manually in order for it to send spoken names with each VPIM message.

---

Note The resolution for caveat CSCsu42186 requires a Cisco Unity Connection release that contains the fix for caveat CSCsx51276.

---

CSCsw42595

Symptom    The show list name name command may not display the intended output in Cisco UMG running the version 1.0.2 package.

Conditions   If the names have been created using upper-case letters, the show list name name command may not display the intended output.

Workaround   Make sure to use lower-case letters when creating list names.

Open Caveats—Cisco UMG Version 1.0.2

To view open caveats for Cisco Unified Messaging Gateway version 1.0.2, complete the following steps:

---

Note You must have an account on Cisco.com to use the Bug Toolkit. If you do not have an account on Cisco.com, you can register to open an account by completing the online registration form.

Step 1 Click Bug Toolkit URL: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl

Step 2 Log in to Cisco.com.

Step 3 Click Launch Bug Toolkit.

Step 4 Choose product category Voice and Unified Communications from the drop-down menu.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco UMG Version 1.0.2

The following caveat is resolved in Cisco Unified Messaging Gateway version 1.0.2.

CSCsl19829

Symptom    When creating a list in list-manager mode, you can assign a list to be a member of itself.

Conditions   No special conditions are required beyond those described in the Symptom section.

Workaround   Unnecessary, because Cisco UMG detects loops when SDL messages are sent.
