Open Caveats—Release 7.0(3b)

Table 2 Cisco Unity-CM TSP Release 7.0(3b) Open Caveats 

Caveat Number
Severity
Description

CSCea06190

3

Cisco Unity-CM TSP does not report call statistics (for example, jitter and packet loss) to Cisco CallManager after a call is torn down.

There is no workaround.

CSCec54161

3

Cisco Unity disconnects the call and delivers the message when a hold tone is played.

Condition: With TSP 7.0(3), when Cisco Unity is presented with a hold tone, Unity forces the call to be disconnected. The partial message is delivered to the subscriber.

There is no workaround.

CSCec79795

3

When a call is put on hold with CCM-configured music on hold (CCM MOH), Cisco Unity does not detect that the call is on hold and will transfer it.

Condition: The TSP looks for the on-hold tone (the beep). With CCM MOH, this tone is not present and the TSP does not detect that it is on hold.

Workaround

Disable CCM MOH.


Resolved Caveats—Release 7.0(3b)

Table 3 Cisco Unity-CM TSP Release 7.0(3b) Resolved Caveats 

Caveat Number
Severity
Description

CSCea67154

3

Cisco CallManager applies the Voice Mail Box Mask in the system-wide Voice Mail Profile onto the originalCdpnVoiceMailbox when a call comes to a Cisco Unity voice mail port.

Condition: If a customer changes the display name for a V-mail port in Cisco CallManager, then Cisco Unity treats an incoming call on a second port as a forwarded call instead of a direct call and plays the opening greeting instead of mailbox login.

Workaround

Currently, if the CalledVM (OriginalCDPNVoiceMailbox) is present, the TSP uses that for the CalledID. If that is not present, we fall back to the regular CalledID (OriginalCalledParty). In addition to this, we look for the originalCalledPartyName, and if that matches our setting, we treat the call as direct. This setting defaults to Voicemail but it can be configured by setting a registry key on the Cisco Unity server: HKLM\SW\Active Voice\AvSkinny\Voicemail Display Name. Make this a string value and set it to whatever the name is on Cisco CallManager.

CSCec22397

3

In systems configured for failover, when the secondary is active, easy message access does not work. When the secondary server is active, a call from a subscriber phone to the Unity pilot number gets the opening greeting instead of "Please enter your password."

CSCec60226

2

No audio from Unity when skinny messages are fragmented. Unity fails to combine Skinny messages that have been split between packets if the second packet doesn't arrive immediately after the first. This can be seen in a Unity TSP trace and a sniffer trace local to the Unity box. When it fails to reassemble the Skinny message, it fails to create an RTP stream

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
