Note: Although this configuration example provides summaries descriptions of certain procedures, the content assumes familiarity with the overall user interfaces for both Cisco Unity and Cisco Unity Express systems. Please refer to the appropriate command reference, configuration, and adminstrator's guides for detailed feature and capability descriptions for these products.
This document provides a sample configuration for a voice-mail configuration for Cisco Unity Express Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM). In the example, VPIM connects two Cisco Unity Express sites and one Cisco Unity site. All three sites are under control of a central Cisco CallManager. The CallManager can be Cisco CallManager Express (CME) or Cisco Call Manager. For providing network connections between Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unity, it does not matter which call manager supplies call control; the configuration for voice mail networking remains the same.
The configuration scenario in this document is for voice-mail networking among three sites. The configuration has the following characteristics:
Before attempting this configuration, please ensure that you meet the following prerequisite:
Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unity must run software releases capable of VPIM networking. This support starts with Cisco Unity Express Releasea 2.0 and Cisco Unity Release 4.03. The recommended releases are Cisco Unity Express Release 2.1 and Cisco Unity Release 4.04.
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
All sites have Ethernet connections to the IP network. Sites 4 and 6 have two Cisco 7960 IP Phones each, and Site 7 has a single Cisco IP Phone. All IP Phones and dial plans are under control of the central Cisco CallManager, and the routers are configured for Cisco SRST operation.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
This configuration can also be used with the following hardware and software versions:

Use these steps to set up a VPIM networking configuration on Cisco Unity Express:
Step 1 |
Configure a DNS server and specify its IP address. |
Step 2 |
Define all other locations that you want to network. |
Step 3 |
For each location, specify:
|
Step 4 |
Set the local location ID (define which of the sites is local). |
Use these steps to set up a VPIM networking configuration on Cisco Unity:
Step 1 |
Define the primary location (the local site). |
Step 2 |
Define a delivery location for each remote site with which you want to network. |
Step 3 |
For each Delivery Location, specify:
|
Step 4 |
Configure the Unity Voice Connector (UVC) on Cisco Unity to set up Windows Exchange for SMTP (that is, VPIM) traffic. |
Use these general steps to set up the DNS server.
The following elements are optional configuration elements:
Implementing vCard and spoken-name information helps to have more explicit info in the message header playout to the recipient. For example, when you retrieve your voicemail without vCard and spoke-name information, the header of a new message might play out as follows: "Message received from an unknown number today at 3:20 p.m." With vCard information, message header might play out as follows: "Message received from extension yyy9756 today at 3:20 p.m." With vCard and spoken-name informattion, the message header might play out as follows: "Message received from Jane Doe today at 3:20 p.m."
The following considerations apply to the setting up of VPIM networking between Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unity:
Step 1 |
Set up a hostname IP address ( A record) for each Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unity system. |
Step 2 |
Set up a mail server hostname ( MX record) for each Cisco Unity Express or Cisco Unity system. |
This section provides information you can use to confirm your configuration is working properly.
Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only), which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.
Before attempting to send networked voice mails between sites, make sure you can:
This section gives details for configuring the Cisco Unity Express system at Site 4. The first section provides selected screen shots of the GUI networking setup, and the second section presents the full running configuration in command line format.
Here are the steps for configuring Cisco Unity Express at Site 4 using the Cisco Unity Express GUI tool:
Step 1 |
Configure the DNS server for Cisco Unity Express at Site 4 via the Administration > Domain Name Settings window. See Figure 2 . Figure 2 Configuring the DNS Server for Site 4 |
Step 2 |
Configure the local and remote locations for Site 4 via the Administration Adminstration > Networking Locations window. See Figure 3 . Figure 3 Configuring Local and Remote Locations for Site 4 |
Step 3 |
Configure the details of the local location (ID 444) for Site 4. See Figure 4 . Figure 4 Configuring Local Location Details for Site 4 |
Step 4 |
(Optional) Configure each user at a remote site (Site 6) so that a spoken name is given when a message is addressed to one of them, even though no messages have been received from the specified user. Perform this step with the Configure > Remote Users window. See Figure 5 . Note: Cisco Unity Express maintains an internal, cached directory. Once a message has been received from a remote user, the spoken name that arrived with that message is available in the cached directory. Permitting a system administrator to record spoken names for remote users serves two purposes. First, if the administrator does not record the name, there is nothing in the local cache to play until a message is received from a specific user, because the cached directory starts off empty. The system administrator can record something that remains in the cached directory until it is overwritten with more recent information gathered from a message received from the user. Second, messages from remote users might never be received in some network designs--the users might only be able to receive messages. In these situations, the cache never gets automatically updated; the only way to get a spoken name entered is for the system administrator to record it. Figure 5 Configuring Users at a Remote Site |
Step 5 |
Configure the details of a user at a remote site (Site 6). See Figure 6 . Figure 6 Configuring Details for a Remote User |

This section gives details for configuring the Cisco Unity Express system at Site 6. The first section provides selected screen shots of the GUI networking setup, and the second section presents the full running configuration in command line format.
Here are the steps for configuring Cisco Unity Express at Site 6 using the Cisco Unity Express GUI tool:
Step 1 |
Configure the DNS server for Cisco Unity Express at Site 6 via the Adminstration > Domain Name Settings window. See Figure 7 . Figure 7 Configuring the DNS Sever for Site 6 |
Step 2 |
Configure the local and remote locations for Site 6 via the Adminstration > Network Locations window. See Figure 8 . Figure 8 Configuring Local and Remote Locations for Site 6 |
Step 3 |
Configure the details of the local location (ID 666) for Site 6. See Figure 9 . Figure 9 Configuring Details for Local Location for Site 6 |
Step 4 |
(Optional) Using the Configure > Remote Users window, onfigure each user at a remote site (Site 4) so that a spoken name is given when a message is addressed to a specific user, even though no messages have been received from that user. See Figure 10 . Note: Cisco Unity Express maintains an internal, cached directory. Once a message has been received from a remote user, the spoken name that arrived with that message is available in the cached directory. Permitting a system administrator to record spoken names for remote users serves two purposes. First, if the administrator does not record the name, there is nothing in the local cache to play until a message is received from a specific user, because the cached directory starts off empty. The system administrator can record something that remains in the cached directory until it is overwritten with more recent information gathered from a message received from the user. Second, messages from remote users might never be received in some network designs--the users might only be able to receive messages. It these situations, the cache never gets automatically updated, and the only way to get a spoken name entered is for the system administrator to record it.

This section gives details for configuring the Cisco Unity system at Site 7. The first section provides screen shots of the delivery locations, and the second section presents details about the Exchange/UVC configuration.
Here are the steps for configuring Cisco Unity at Site 7 using the Cisco Unity GUI tool:
Step 1 |
Configure the primary location (local location) for Site 7. See Figure 12 . Figure 12 Configuring the Primary Location |
Step 2 |
Configure the delivery location for remote Site 4. Mark the Destination Type as VPIM. Check the Sender's Recorded Name and Sender's vCard attributes if you want this information to be sent with the VPIM message. See Figure 13 . Figure 13 Configuring the Delivery Location for Remote Site 4 |
Step 3 |
Configure the Delivery Location for remote Site 6. Mark the Destination Type as VPIM. Check the Sender's Recorded Name and Sender's vCard attributes if you want this information to be sent with the VPIM message. See Figure 14 . Figure 14 Configuring the Delivery Location for Remote Site 6 |
Step 4 |
Show a summary screen displaying all of the remote locations in the network. To do this, choose Delivery Locations from the main Cisco Unity window. Perform a wildcard find (*) on all the locations defined in the system. Figure 15 illustrates an example of the output that results. Figure 15 Display of Summary Screen for Remote Locations |
Use the following procedure to verify the Microsoft Exchange and UVC configuration for Cisco Unity:
Step 1 |
Go to Programs > Microsoft Exchange > System Manager . |
Step 2 |
In the Exchange System Manager window, click Recipient > Recipient Policies . In the right panel, the display shows Default Policy. Right click Default Policy and select Properties . In the Default Policy Properties pop-up window, select E-Mail Address (Policy). The SMTP parameter should show the domain name of the Cisco Unity server (such as unity.unity.cisco.com). See Figure 16 . Figure 16 Exchange System Manager Recipient Policies Window |
Step 3 |
In the Exchange System Manager window, go to Connectors > Exchange 2000 Voice Connector > Queues. MTS-IN and MTS-OUT queues must exist. See Figure 17 . Figure 17 Exchange System Manager Queries Window |
Step 4 |
In the Registry Editor window, ensure that the TargetDomain shows the local Cisco Unity domain name (such as unity.unity.cisco.com). See Figure 18. Figure 18 Registry Editor Window |
The DNS server must have an entry for each of the domains associated with the Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unity network configuration.
Configure an entry for each of the domains associated with the Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unity network configuration on the DNS server. Figure 19 shows the DNS setup for Cisco Unity Express (cue.cisco.com domain). Figure 19 DNS Setup Window for Cisco Unity Express Figure 20 shows the DNS setup window for Cisco Unity (unity.cisco.com domain). Figure 20 DNS Setup Window for Cisco Unity Each site requires a Host (A) and a Mail Exchange (MX) record. See Figure 21 . Figure 21 Mail Exchange Record Property Windows |
This section provides information you can use to confirm that your configuration is working properly.
Perform these steps to verify DNS server connectivity.
Step 1 |
Enter the show hosts command to show the configuration of a DNS server. The following is an output example for the show hosts command, performed on the Cisco Unity Express CLI of the Site 4 system. It shows the configuration of a DNS server.
ch4-cue#
show hosts
Hostname: ch4-cue
Domain: localdomain
DNS Server1: a.3.231.101
|
Step 2 |
To confirm server connectivity, verify that you can ping between all the Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unity locations and the DNS server. The following is an example of output for a ping command issued to the DNS server from the Cisco Unity Express CLI of the Site 4 system:
ch4-cue#
ping a.3.231.101

Perform this step to confirm site-to-site connectivity.
Verify that you can ping among all of the Cisco Unity Express and Cisco Unity locations at the various sites. The following is an example of output for the ping command, performed on the Cisco Unity Express CLI of the Site 4 system. Ping destinations are the Site 4 system itself, the Site 6 Cisco Unity Express, and the Site 7 Cisco Unity. ch4-cue# ping ch4.cue.cisco.com PING ch4.cue.cisco.com (a.3.231.128) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ch4-cue.localdomain (a.3.231.128): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.053 ms 64 bytes from ch4-cue.localdomain (a.3.231.128): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.032 ms 64 bytes from ch4-cue.localdomain (a.3.231.128): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.028 ms 64 bytes from ch4-cue.localdomain (a.3.231.128): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.029 ms 64 bytes from ch4-cue.localdomain (a.3.231.128): icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.029 ms --- ch4.cue.cisco.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 10ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.028/0.034/0.053/0.010 ms, ipg/ewma 2.546/0.043 ms ch4-cue# ping ch6.cue.cisco.com PING ch6.cue.cisco.com (a.3.245.128) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from a.3.245.128: icmp_seq=2 ttl=62 time=0.595 ms 64 bytes from a.3.245.128: icmp_seq=3 ttl=62 time=0.271 ms 64 bytes from a.3.245.128: icmp_seq=4 ttl=62 time=0.257 ms 64 bytes from a.3.245.128: icmp_seq=5 ttl=62 time=0.258 ms --- ch6.cue.cisco.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 4 received, 20% packet loss, time 1012ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.257/0.345/0.595/0.144 ms, ipg/ewma 253.137/0.485 ms ch4-cue# ping unity.unity.cisco.com PING unity.unity.cisco.com (a.3.231.101) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from a.3.231.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=127 time=0.277 ms 64 bytes from a.3.231.101: icmp_seq=2 ttl=127 time=0.200 ms 64 bytes from a.3.231.101: icmp_seq=3 ttl=127 time=0.191 ms 64 bytes from a.3.231.101: icmp_seq=4 ttl=127 time=0.193 ms 64 bytes from a.3.231.101: icmp_seq=5 ttl=127 time=0.190 ms --- unity.unity.cisco.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 12ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.190/0.210/0.277/0.034 ms, ipg/ewma 3.155/0.242 ms ch4-cue# |

Note: This publication provides a summary of basic troubleshooting techniques. Refer to the appropriate command reference and adminstrator's guide for details regarding the output of specific trace and show commands. In addition, troubleshooting guides are provided for some products.
The following show commands are useful for monitoring Cisco Unity Express operations:
Enter one of the above commands. The following is an output example for the show ip dns cache command, performed on the Cisco Unity Express CLI of the Site 4 system. It shows the current contents of the DNS cache. Sometimes when IP addresses or DNS server designations change, connectivity between two sites can be impaired because the cache contains old or outdated information. You can clear the cache with the clear ip dns cache command to resolve such problems.
