Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity
•
The number of calls Cisco Unity will answer when call traffic is at its peak.
•
The expected length of each message that callers will record and that subscribers will listen to.
•
The number of subscribers.
•
The number of ports that will be set to dial out only.
•
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 AMIS delivery calls.
•
The number of TRAP connections needed when call traffic is at its peak. (TRAP connections are
used by Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients to play back and record over the phone.)

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
subscribers. Typically, the voice messaging ports that answer calls are the busiest.
subscribers. Typically, the voice messaging ports that answer calls are the busiest.
You can set voice messaging ports to both answer calls and to dial out (for example, to send message
notifications). However, when the voice messaging ports perform more than one function and are very
active (for example, answering many calls), the other functions may be delayed until the voice messaging
port is free (for example, message notifications cannot be sent until there are fewer calls to answer). For
best performance, dedicate certain voice messaging ports for only answering incoming calls, and
dedicate other ports for only dialing out. Separating these port functions eliminates 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.

The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Only Dial Out, and Not Answer Calls
Ports that will only dial out and will not answer calls can do one or more of the following:
•
Notify subscribers by phone, pager, or e-mail of messages that have arrived.
•
Turn MWIs on and off for subscriber extensions.
•
Make outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on
another voice messaging system. (This action is available only with the AMIS licensed feature.)

Make a TRAP connection so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device

Typically, these voice messaging ports are the least busy ports.
Caution
In programming the phone system, do not send calls to voice messaging ports in Cisco Unity 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.

Preparing for Programming the Phone System
Record your decisions about the voice messaging ports to guide you in programming the phone system.
