Integration Description
Integration Description
The Ericsson MD-110 integration uses a data link, which consists of an RS-232
serial cable connecting the phone system and the Cisco Unity server. The voice
messaging lines from the phone system connect to the analog voice cards in the
Cisco Unity server. The following illustration shows the required connections.
Figure 1-1 Connections Between the Phone System and Cisco Unity
Phone system
Cisco Unity server
RS-232 serial cable
Analog lines
The phone system sends the following information through the data link:
•
•
The extension of the called party
The reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set
to forward all calls)
•
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)
Cisco Unity uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example,
a call forwarded to Cisco Unity is answered with the personal greeting of the
subscriber. If the phone system routes the call to Cisco Unity without this
information, Cisco Unity answers with the opening greeting.

Chapter 1 Ericsson MD-110 Serial Integration
Integration Description
Integration Features
The Ericsson MD-110 integration with Cisco Unity provides the following
features:
Call forward to personal greeting
When an incoming call is routed to an
unanswered or busy extension, the call is
forwarded to the voice mail of the subscriber.
The caller then hears the personal greeting of
the subscriber and can leave a message.
Caller ID
Cisco Unity 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 subscriber can retrieve messages without
entering an ID. Cisco Unity identifies a
subscriber based on the extension from which
the call originated. A password may be
required.
Identified subscriber messaging
Message waiting indication
Cisco Unity automatically identifies a
subscriber 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 subscriber,
Cisco Unity notifies the phone system to

Configuring Cisco Unity for the Integration
Configuring Cisco Unity for the Integration
After ensuring that the Cisco Unity server is ready for the integration by
completing the appropriate tasks in Chapters 1 through 3 of the Cisco Unity
Installation Guide, perform the following procedures to confirm that the
integration is enabled and to enter the port settings.
To confirm that the integration is enabled
Step 1
On the Cisco Unity server, go to the Cisco Unity Administrator by doing one of
the following:
•
•
Double-click the desktop shortcut to the Cisco Unity Administrator.
Step 2
Step 3
Go to System > Licensing > Licensed Features.
In the Integration field, confirm that the setting is Serial for a single phone system
integration or Multiple Integrations for a dual phone system integration.
Step 4
Step 5
If the setting is not Serial or Multiple Integrations, contact your sales
representative for the necessary system key.
Go to System > Switch. Confirm that the settings match those in the following
table. If the settings are incorrect, integration features may not be enabled.

Configuring Cisco Unity for the Integration
To enter port settings
In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to System > Ports.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Select a port in the table.
Indicate the settings for the port.
For a hunt group, use the first voice-messaging ports for incoming calls and the
last ports to dial out. This helps minimize the possibility of a collision, in which
an incoming call arrives on a port at the same time that Cisco Unity takes the port
off-hook to dial out.
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Step 7
Type the extension for the port.
Click the Save icon.
For the settings to take effect, exit the Cisco Unity software. For more
information, see the appendix, “Exiting and Starting the Cisco Unity Software and
Server.”
If your phone system uses extension numbers that begin with zero (for example,
0123 or 09876), perform the following procedure.
Note that after the procedure is performed all extension numbers must have the
same number of digits. In this case, for example, 0123 and 1234 are both allowed,

Step 7
Save the file and close the text editor.
For the setting to take effect, exit the Cisco Unity software, then restart the server.
For more information, see the appendix, “Exiting and Starting the Cisco Unity
Software and Server.”
Programming the Phone System
If you use programming options other than those supplied in the following
procedure, the performance of the integration may be affected.
To program the phone system
Step 1
Use the EXTEI command to program the ELU extensions for connecting to the
voice messaging ports. You must program the ports for:
•
•
•
•
No call waiting
No diversion
No conferencing
No intrusion
The ELU1 extension does not support message waiting indication for analog
phones. The ELU24 extension provides stutter dial tone for message waiting
indication.
Step 2
Use the VMPOI command to match the extensions and their ICU port numbers
with the voice messaging ports on the Cisco Unity server. For example, the
Cisco Unity port 01 must match Ericsson ICU port 1, extension 3500;
Cisco Unity port 02 must match Ericsson ICU port 2, extension 3501; and so on.
The results of this example would be as follows:
VMPOI:ICUIND=1,DIR=3500,PORT=01
VMPOI:ICUIND=2,DIR=3501,PORT=02
Ericsson MD-110 Serial Integration Guide
OL-1290-01
1-7
Chapter 1 Ericsson MD-110 Serial Integration
Programming the Phone System
Step 3
Use the GH command to create a hunt group for the voice messaging ports.
Make sure that the phone system sends calls only to Cisco Unity voice ports that
are set to Answer Calls on the System > Ports page in the Cisco Unity
Administrator. Calls sent to a voice port not set to Answer Calls cannot be
answered by Cisco Unity. And, if certain voice cards are installed, the call will not
be dropped, but the port remains unavailable for use until the Cisco Unity server
is restarted.
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Use the VMPOI command to associate the hunt group with Cisco Unity.
Use the KS command to provide message waiting indication on DTS phones.
Program each phone to forward calls to the pilot number assigned to the voice
messaging ports, based on one of the following Cisco Unity call transfer types.
Table 1-2 Call Transfer Types
Transfer type
Usage
Release transfer
(blind transfer)
Program the phone to forward calls to the pilot
number when:
•
•
The extension is busy
The call is not answered
Supervised transfer
Program the phone to forward calls to the pilot
number only when the call is not answered.
Confirm that call forwarding is disabled when the
extension is busy.

Step 5
Step 6
Confirm that Phone 1 rings and that you do not hear a ringback tone on Phone 2.
Instead, you should hear the indication your phone system uses to mean that the
call is on hold (for example, music or beeps).
Do not answer Phone 1, and 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 is supervising the transfer.
Confirm that, after three rings, you hear the greeting for Example Subscriber.
Hearing the greeting means that Cisco Unity successfully recalled the
supervised-transfer call.
Step 7
Step 8
During the greeting, hang up Phone 2.
On the 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 2
In the Port Assignments section, indicate the range of ports to be assigned to the
traditional phone system. The port range for the traditional phone system is port
1 through x, where x is the number of ports on the installed voice cards. Do not
assign more ports to the traditional phone system than the number of ports on the
voice cards.
Caution
If you assign fewer voice ports to the traditional phone system than are
available on the installed voice cards, you must edit the registry for this port
range to take effect. Otherwise, all available voice ports on the voice cards are
used in the integration regardless of the Port Assignments settings. For
information on editing the registry for the port range, see the appendix
“Assigning Dialogic Ports for a Dual Phone System Integration.”
Step 3
In the Port Assignments section, indicate the range of ports to be assigned to
Cisco CallManager. The port range must begin with the next port after the last port
for the traditional phone system. The range for Cisco CallManager is x + 1
through y, where y is the port number of the last port displayed on the Ports page
or the number of licensed voice ports on the system key, whichever is lower. The
number of ports available for Cisco CallManager is the difference between the
number of licensed voice ports on the system key and the number of ports
assigned to the traditional phone system.
Step 4
Step 5
Enter an extension for each port.
Specify other settings as appropriate. For each phone system, confirm that an
appropriate number of ports are used to answer calls and to dial out for message
waiting indicators (MWIs), message notifications, and Media Master recordings
by phone.
Step 6
Click the Save icon.
Caution
The port range for each phone system must be set as specified in Steps 2 and
3 above. If there is a port range mismatch, Cisco Unity will be unable to
answer incoming calls and to dial out.

Chapter 2 Dual Phone System Integration
Changing Cisco Unity Administrator Settings
To select which phone system subscribers and call handlers use
For existing subscriber templates, subscriber accounts, and call handlers,
Cisco Unity uses the traditional phone system as its default. Therefore, during the
initial setup of the dual phone integration, you will modify only those pages that
will be using Cisco CallManager. Note that changes made to subscriber templates
do not affect existing subscriber accounts.
Step 1
In Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the appropriate page:
•
•
•
Subscribers > Subscriber Template > Profile
Subscribers > Subscribers > Profile
Call Management > Call Handlers > Profile
Step 2
Step 3
In the Switch list, select the appropriate phone system.
Adjust other settings as appropriate. For more information, see the online Help in
the Cisco Unity Administrator.
Caution
If the Switch setting on the Profile page for the subscriber or call handler does
not match the phone system actually used by a subscriber or call handler,
Cisco Unity will not be able to transfer calls to or from the subscriber or call
handler. Additionally, Cisco Unity will be unable to turn the MWIs for the
subscriber on or off and will be unable to reach the extension for the subscriber
when recording by phone with Media Master.
To select which phone system Cisco Unity uses for message notification
If subscribers use message notification, you can select which phone system
Cisco Unity dials out on when notifying subscribers of new messages. Note that
changes made to subscriber templates do not affect existing subscribers.
Step 1
In Cisco Unity Administrator, go to the appropriate page:
•
•
Subscribers > Subscriber Template > Message Notification
Subscribers > Message Notification.

Step 2
For each device, in the Switch list select the phone system that Cisco Unity uses
to dial out when notifying subscribers of new messages. Each notification device
can be associated with a specific phone system (except for text pagers).
Cisco Unity uses the phone system specified on the subscriber template’s Profile
page as the default.
Step 3
Adjust other settings as appropriate. For more information, see the online Help in
the Cisco Unity Administrator.
Caution
The selected phone system must have at least one port set to dial out for
message notifications on the System > Ports page. If the selected phone system
does not have any ports set for this function, notifications will fail.
Changing the Number of Installed Ports
After the dual phone system integration is set up, if you need to add or remove
voice cards or uninstall voice card software, follow these steps:
1. Remove the existing AV-Cisco TAPI service provider. For details, see the “To
remove the existing AV-Cisco TSP” section on page 2-9.
2. As appropriate, remove or add voice cards, or uninstall and reinstall the voice
card software. For information about removing Dialogic voice card software,
refer to the chapter “Adding, Changing, or Removing Voice Cards” in the
Cisco Unity Installation Guide.
3. Reinstall the AV-Cisco TAPI service provider after you have set up the voice
cards or reinstalled the voice card software. For details, see “To reinstall the
AV-Cisco TAPI service provider” section on page 2-9.
4. Adjust the port assignments on the System > Ports page. The voice messaging
ports must appear in this order in the list of ports: first are all the ports
connected to the traditional phone system, second are the ports connected to
CallManager.

Assigning Dialogic Ports for a Dual
Phone System Integration
In a dual phone system integration, Cisco Unity assigns a voice messaging port to
the traditional phone system for every port available on the installed voice cards
before assigning voice messaging ports to Cisco CallManager. The result is that
Cisco Unity may not have enough voice messaging ports remaining to assign to
Cisco CallManager.
The maximum number of voice messaging ports are assigned to the traditional
phone system in spite of the settings on the Ports page in the System
Administrator.
For example, a dual phone system integration might have the following
configuration:
•
•
•
•
A traditional phone system has a four-port voice card installed.
Cisco CallManager has six Voice Mail ports set up.
The Cisco Unity server has a system key enabled for a total of eight ports.
The Ports page on System Administrator indicates that Ports 1 and 2 are
assigned to the traditional phone system and Ports 3 through 8 are assigned
to Cisco CallManager.
Even so, Ports 1 through 4 (the total voice card ports) will be assigned to the
traditional phone system, and Ports 5 through 6 will be assigned to Cisco
CallManager.
If you want to assign fewer than the total voice card ports to the traditional phone
system, you must first set the Port assignments on the Ports page of the System
Administrator, then perform the following procedure.
