Call Information
The QSIG/DPNSS integration sends the following information with forwarded calls:
•
•
The extension of the called party
The extension of the calling party (for internal calls) or the phone number of the calling party (if it
is an external call and the system uses caller ID)
•
The reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set to forward all calls)
Cisco Unity Connection uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example, a call
forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection is answered with the personal greeting of the user. If the phone
system routes the call to Cisco Unity Connection without this information, Cisco Unity Connection
answers with the opening greeting.
Integration Features
The QSIG/DPNSS integration with Cisco Unity Connection provides the following features.
Call forward to personal greeting
Call forward to busy greeting
Caller ID
When an incoming call is routed to an unanswered extension, the
call is forwarded to the voice mail of the user. The caller then hears
the personal greeting of the user and can leave a message.
When an incoming call is routed to a busy extension, the call is
forwarded to the voice mail of the user. The caller then hears the
busy greeting (if the user enabled it) and can leave a message.
Cisco Unity Connection receives caller ID information from the
phone system (if available). This information appears in the subject
line of the message in the desktop messaging application.
Easy message access
A user can retrieve messages without entering an ID. Cisco Unity
Connection identifies a user based on the extension from which the
call originated. A password may be required.

Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity Connection
Identified user messaging
Message waiting indication
Cisco Unity Connection automatically identifies a user who leaves
a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension
from which the call originated.
When a message is waiting for a user, Cisco Unity Connection
notifies the phone system to activate the message waiting indicator
(MWI) on the user extension.
Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems
Cisco Unity Connection can be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time. For the most recent
information on and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity Connection with multiple phone systems,
refer to the Multiple Phone System Integration Guide at
ml.
Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by
Cisco Unity Connection
Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by
Cisco Unity Connection.
Unlike other integrations, the hunt group mechanism for a QSIG/DPNSS phone system integration is
implemented on the Cisco Unity Connection server. Within a port group, each incoming call hunts for
an available voice messaging port among all the ports in a round-robin (or circular) fashion. If a voice
messaging port in the cluster is set not to answer calls or is not enabled, a call reaching that port may
receive a busy signal.
Table 1 describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity Connection that can be set on
Telephony Integrations > Port of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

The number of calls Cisco Unity Connection will answer when call traffic is at its peak.
The expected length of each message that callers will record and that users will listen to.
The number of users.
The number of calls made for message notification.
The number of MWIs that will be activated when call traffic is at its peak.
The number of TRAP connections needed when call traffic is at its peak. (TRAP connections are
used by Cisco Unity Connection web applications and e-mail clients to play back and record over
the phone.)
•
The number of calls that will use the automated attendant and call handlers when call traffic is at its
peak.
It is best to install only the number of voice messaging ports that are needed so that system resources are
not allocated to unused ports.
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Answer Calls
The calls that the voice messaging ports answer can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from
users. Assign all of the voice messaging ports to answer calls.
You can set voice messaging ports to both answer calls and to dial out (for example, to set MWIs).
The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Dial Out
Ports that will dial out can do one or more of the following:
•
•
•
Notify users by phone, pager, or e-mail of messages that have arrived.
Turn MWIs on and off for user extensions.
Make a TRAP connection so that users can use the phone as a recording and playback device in
Cisco Unity Connection web applications and e-mail clients.
Preparing for Programming the Phone System
Record your decisions about the voice messaging ports to guide you in programming the phone system.
Programming the QSIG/DPNSS Phone System
For information on provisioning a QSIG or DPNSS phone system to integrate with Cisco Unity
Connection, refer to the Cisco EGW 2200 documentation.
Caution
In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity Connection
that cannot answer calls (voice messaging ports that are not set to Answer Calls). For example, if a voice
messaging port is set only to Dialout MWI, do not send calls to it.
Note
You can use alternate extensions to create multiple line appearances, enable easy message access from
cell phones, and simplify addressing messages to users at different locations in Cisco Unity Connection.
Enabling alternate MWIs lets Cisco Unity Connection turn MWIs on at more than one extension. For

To Test an External Call with Release Transfer
Step 1
From Phone 2, enter the access code necessary to get an outside line, then enter the number outside
callers use to dial directly to Cisco Unity Connection.
Step 2
Step 3
In the Port Status Monitor, note which port handles this call.
When you hear the opening greeting, enter the extension for Phone 1. Hearing the opening greeting
means that the port is configured correctly.
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Confirm that Phone 1 rings and that you hear a ringback tone on Phone 2. Hearing a ringback tone means
that Cisco Unity Connection correctly released the call and transferred it to Phone 1.
Leaving Phone 1 unanswered, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to “Idle.” This
state means that release transfer is successful.
Confirm that, after the number of rings that the phone system is set to wait, the call is forwarded to
Cisco Unity Connection and that you hear the greeting for the test user. Hearing the greeting means that
the phone system forwarded the unanswered call and the call-forward information to Cisco Unity
Connection, which correctly interpreted the information.
Step 7
Step 8
Step 9
On the Port Status Monitor, note which port handles this call.
Leave a message for the test user and hang up Phone 2.
In the Port Status Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to “Idle.” This
state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.
Step 10 Confirm that the MWI on Phone 1 is activated. The activated MWI means that the phone system and
Cisco Unity Connection are successfully integrated for turning on MWIs.
To Test Listening to Messages
Step 1
Step 2
From Phone 1, enter the internal pilot number for Cisco Unity Connection.
When asked for your password, enter the password for the test user. Hearing the request for your
password means that the phone system sent the necessary call information to Cisco Unity Connection,
which correctly interpreted the information.
Step 3
Confirm that you hear the recorded voice name for the test user (if you did not record a voice name for
the test user, you will hear the extension number for Phone 1). Hearing the voice name means that
Cisco Unity Connection correctly identified the user by the extension.
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Listen to the message.
After listening to the message, delete the message.
Confirm that the MWI on Phone 1 is deactivated. The deactivated MWI means that the phone system and
Cisco Unity Connection are successfully integrated for turning off MWIs.
Step 7
Step 8
Hang up Phone 1.
On the Port Status Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to “Idle.” This
state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.

hear the indication your phone system uses to mean that the call is on hold (for example, music).
Leaving Phone 1 unanswered, confirm that the state of the port handling the call remains “Busy.” This
state and hearing an indication that you are on hold mean that Cisco Unity Connection is supervising the
transfer.
Step 6
Confirm that, after three rings, you hear the greeting for the test user. Hearing the greeting means that
Cisco Unity Connection successfully recalled the supervised-transfer call.
Step 7
Step 8
During the greeting, hang up Phone 2.

There are several reasons that you may want to specify alternate extensions for users. For example, if
you have more than one Cisco Unity Connection server that accesses a single, corporate-wide directory,
you may want to use alternate extensions to simplify addressing messages to users at the different
locations. With alternate extensions, the number that a user enters when addressing a message to
someone at another location can be the same number that the user dials when calling. You may also want
to use alternate extensions to:
•
•
Handle multiple line appearances on user phones.
Offer easy message access on direct calls from a cell phone, home phone, or phone at an alternate
work site (assuming that the phone number is passed along to Cisco Unity Connection from these
other phone systems). In addition, when such phones are used as alternate extensions, and are set to
forward to Cisco Unity Connection, callers can listen to the user greeting and leave messages for the
user just as they would when dialing the primary extension for the user.
•
Enable URL-based extensions in Cisco Unity Connection for an integration with a SIP phone
system.
How Alternate Extensions Work
Before you set up alternate extensions, review the following list for information on how alternate
extensions work:
•
Alternate extensions cannot exceed 30 characters in length. By default, each administrator-defined
alternate extension must be at least 3 characters in length, while user-defined alternate extensions
must be at least 10 characters.

Alternate Extensions
•
Cisco Unity Connection Administration will not accept an extension that is already assigned to
another user (either as a primary or alternate extension), or to a public distribution list, call handler,
directory handler, or interview handler. Cisco Unity Connection verifies that each alternate
extension is unique—up to the dialing domain level, if applicable—before allowing either an
administrator or a user to create it.
•
•
All alternate extensions use the same transfer settings as the primary extension.
In many cases, Cisco Unity Connection can activate a message waiting indicator (MWI) for an
alternate extension. However, depending on the phones and phone systems involved, some
additional phone system programming may be required to set this up.

Alternate MWIs
You can set up Cisco Unity Connection to activate alternate MWIs when you want a new message for a
user to activate the MWIs at up to 10 extensions. For example, a message left at extension 1001 can
activate the MWIs on extensions 1001 and 1002.
Cisco Unity Connection uses MWIs to alert the user to new voice messages. MWIs are not used to
indicate new e-mail, fax, or return receipt messages.
Setting Up Alternate MWIs
Cisco Unity Connection can activate alternate MWIs. Note that depending on the phones and phone
systems, some additional phone system programming may be necessary. Refer to the installation guide
for the phone system.

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—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.
Severity 2 (S2)—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.
Severity 3 (S3)—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.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
