Your system administrator must enable some of the features described in this guide (for example, retrieving voice-mail messages using e-mail, configuring voice-mail notifications, or using live reply). If you are unable to access a feature, contact your system administrator to ensure the function is enabled on your system.

Cisco Unity Express is subject to an erroneous login limit as set by your system administrator.

There are two types.

• There may be a limit on the number of incorrect consecutive logins allowed, after which the system

administrator is required to restore the user’s login rights.

• Depending on the configuration by your system administrator, login may be temporarily disabled

for the user for a time period after several consecutive unsuccessful log in attempts.

If a Cisco Unity Express voice-mail session is in progress, a second session for the same user cannot be initiated. This does not apply to voice-mail sessions that are initiated by an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) client, such as Microsoft Office Outlook.

• If you initiate a voice-mail session by using your Cisco Unified IP phone to call your voice-mail

system, attempting to log in to VoiceView Express cannot preempt the voice-mail session.

• If you are logged in to VoiceView Express, using your Cisco Unified IP phone to call your

voice-mail system preempts the VoiceView Express session. The VoiceView Express session is automatically logged out without notification.

• If you are logged in to VoiceView Express, logging in to a second VoiceView Express session from

a different phone preempts the first session. The first VoiceView Express session is automatically logged out without notification.

Cisco Unity Express 8.6 Voicemail User’s Guide for Advanced Features

OL-23884-03

VoiceView Express has an inactivity timeout parameter, after which the VoiceView Express session is automatically logged out without notification.

• If you are logged in to VoiceView Express using your Cisco Unified IP phone and you receive an

incoming call, the call information appears on the phone display. Lifting the handset or pressing the Headset or Speaker button connects the call. Depending on which Cisco Unified IP phone you have, you can return to the VoiceView Express session if the call is terminated before the session is ended by the inactivity timeout parameter. Otherwise, the VoiceView Express session will be automatically logged out without notification. For more information, see the user’s guide for your Cisco Unified IP phone. See

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/tsd_products_support_category_home.html.

Managing Fax Messages

Cisco Unity Express can receive and process faxes through the voice-mail system. Faxes can be forwarded, marked as new, saved, deleted, and undeleted similarly to regular voice messages. Additionally, you can send fax messages from a mailbox to a local fax machine for printing.

Supported IMAP clients can receive faxes as a .tif file attachment to an e-mail. The IMAP clients allow subscribers to download the message and save the fax attachment to a local workstation where it can be viewed and printed using standard .tif readers.

You must compose and send a fax from an analog fax machine. You cannot compose a fax through the Cisco Unity Express voice-mail system.

If your system administrator configures a dedicated extension for fax calls, these calls will not ring on a subscriber’s extension. Your system administrator, however, may configure an extension that will receive both fax and voice calls. In this case, when the subscriber picks up an incoming call that is a fax, an identifier tone is heard. The system monitors for such tones and automatically sends the fax to the designated mailbox and terminates the voice leg of the call.

Note Your system administrator must enable the fax function on a mailbox and extension. The fax number

may be the same as the voice-mail extension of a subscriber or a dedicated fax extension may be configured.

To manage fax messages:

Step 1 Dial in to the Cisco Unity Express system. The voice prompt summarizes how many new and saved

messages your have.

Step 2 Press 1 to listen to new messages.

The voice prompt identifies a fax in your mailbox and lists its properties, for example, the time and date sent and the originating location. The voice prompt also indicates if a voice message is attached to the fax.

Note If the fax was forwarded from another subscriber, a voice message can be attached from the forwarding

subscriber.

Step 3 Select the fax.

Step 4 Press one of the following numbers to access options for the fax:

Greetings are messages that callers hear when they reach your voice mail. You can have the following greetings:

• Standard greeting—Normal greeting played to callers when they reach your voice mail. This can be

either the default system greeting or a greeting that you have recorded and chosen as your own standard greeting.

• Multiple Alternate greetings—Multiple alternate greetings are recorded by you and played to the

callers when they reach your voice mail. You can turn these greetings on or off using the voice-mail menu. These greetings are used as an alternative to your standard greeting. Following are the Multiple Alternate greetings:

–

Alternate greetings—To record a special greeting (other than standard greeting).

–

Meeting greeting—To record a greeting that plays when you are in a meeting.

–

Vacation greetings—To record a greeting that plays during the time when you are on a Vacation.

–

Extended Absence greetings—To record a greeting that plays during the time when you are absent for an extended period of time. If extended absence greeting is turned on then mailbox will not take messages from external callers or will not accept messages from subscribers.

• State Based greetings—State based greetings are recorded by you and played to the callers

according to the state of your business. Following are the State Based greetings:

–

Busy greeting—To record a that plays when you are busy. This greeting is played and it takes precedence over standard, closed, and internal greetings if the subscriber is busy over the phone and if this greeting is enabled. But if a multiple alternate greeting is enabled then it takes precedence over busy greeting. Phone or call agent must provide the support necessary for Cisco Unity Express to identify that the phone is busy and the call forward is on busy rather than on no-answer.

–

Closed greeting—To record a greeting that plays during non-business hours or hours past your business hours. This greeting is played if it is not a business hour and if this greeting is enabled. Business hours are based on the business schedule that is associated to Voicemail. If internal greeting is enabled and if the call is during non-business hours then closed greeting is played over standard greeting. But multiple alternate greeting, busy greeting and internal greeting takes precedence over closed greeting.

–

Internal greeting—To record a greeting that plays when you receive a call from an internal extension number.

What to Do When Receiving Notifications by Phone

When you receive a call from Cisco Unity Express notifying you of a voice-mail message, you can:

• Enter 1 to turn off voice-mail notification to this phone number. If you disable notification, the

system sends you a voice-mail message to tell you that notification is turned off.

• Enter your extension and PIN to check your voice-mail messages. (This feature must be enabled by

your system administrator.)

• If the notification is part of a notification cascading rule, you can:

–

Press 1 to reject the notification to your number or device. Your notification profile is changed to reflect this.

–

Press 2 to disable cascade notification function from this subscriber. A notification is sent to the sender of the notification that cascade notification is disabled for your extension.

Recording a Live Conversation

On receipt of a call, you can initiate the live record function to record the conversation. The recorded conversation is stored as a message in your mailbox and you can access and manage it similarly to ordinary messages. The recording function can only be initiated by a subscriber at the subscriber’s extension location.

Caution See disclaimer statement relating to recording a conversation: DISCLAIMER FOR RECORDING A

CONVERSATION, page 51.

To record a conversation:

Step 1 While in your conversation, press the conference (Confrn) button. The current conversation is put on

hold.

Note Depending on your Cisco IP phone, you may need to press More, then press Confrn.

Step 2 Dial the live record pilot number provided by your system administrator.

The call request is forwarded to the system’s live record pilot number. Cisco Unity Express receives the request and initiates the recording function.

Step 3 To begin recording, again press the Confrn button.

Note Cisco Unity Express sends periodic beeps to remind participants that the call is being recorded. These

beeps are not part of the recording.

Receiving Voice-mail Messages in Your E-mail

Note This feature is not available on all systems. Contact your system administrator.

You can set up Cisco Unity Express to deliver your voice-mail messages to an e-mail program. You must use a standard IMAP e-mail client. Your voice-mail messages are sent to your e-mail program as an e-mail file attachment in .wav file format. The file can be played with a media player such as Microsoft Windows Media Player.

The following e-mail programs are supported in Cisco Unity Express 8.6:

• Iphone third party clients

• Cisco Mobile 8.0 (supported on Iphone)

• Cisco Unified Personal Communicator (CUPC) 8.5

• Cisco Unified Communications Integration™ for Microsoft Office Communicator 8.0

• Microsoft Outlook 2010/2007/2003/XP

• Microsoft Entourage 2008

• Microsoft Windows Live Mail 12.0

• IBM Lotus Notes 8.5

• IBM Lotus Notes 8.0

• IBM Lotus Notes 7.0

Note User authentication—user ID and password—is required for web-based applications using HTTPS or

HTTP over Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

Downloading Voice-mail Messages

You will need to see the documentation for your e-mail program for instructions on how to set up your program to retrieve IMAP messages.

Cisco Unity Express voice-mail messages download to a folder called Inbox. If you are having problems retrieving voice-mail messages, check the following:

OL-23884-03

Cisco Unity Express 8.6 Voicemail User’s Guide for Advanced Features

Receiving Voice-mail Messages in Your E-mail

If You Receive Meaning

Authentication Failed Be sure you are using the correct user ID and password to access your

Cisco Unity Express account.

Password Expired Your password is expired and you must change it. You must log in to the

Cisco Unity Express graphical user interface system to change your password.

Authorization Failed You do not have the proper privileges to retrieve your voice-mail

messages using e-mail. Contact your system administrator.

After Receiving Voice-Mail Messages

After you receive voice-mail messages in your e-mail, you can perform the following actions:

• Listen to messages—Typically, you can double-click the .wav file message attachment to listen to it.

• Change the status of a message—Mark a message as read or unread.

• Delete messages—Mark a message as deleted in your inbox, which also moves it into the deleted

messages portion of your voice-mail system. Logging out of your e-mail client removes all deleted messages in your e-mail mailbox.

Note Deleted messages must be purged to entirely remove the message from your system.

• Undelete messages—Change the state of a message from deleted to saved and remove it from the

deleted message storage space. As long as deleted messages are not purged, you can undelete them.

• Purge deleted messages—Remove deleted messages from your e-mail client and server.

Updating the status of a message in your e-mail program also updates the message status on the voice-mail system. For example, marking a message as Read on your e-mail client will mark the message as saved on the telephone voice-mail system, and turn off your message-waiting indicator light on your phone if you have no other new messages.

Note Not all of these actions may be supported by your e-mail program; see your e-mail program

documentation for more information.

Private Voice-Mail Messages

You can only download the headers, or summaries, of voice-mail messages that have been marked “Private” by the sender. You must dial in to the voice-mail system to listen to the body of the private voice-mail message.

Caution Do not delete a private message from your Inbox before listening to it. Deleting the message in your

e-mail client deletes the actual voice-mail message from the system and you cannot listen to it.

Broadcast Messages

You can only download broadcast messages that you have previously listened to and saved through the telephone voice-mail system. New broadcast messages are not downloaded to your e-mail program.
