Voicemail procedures 

Calling Cisco Unity Connection

You can call Cisco Unity Connection from your desk phone, from another phone within your organization, or from outside your organization.

Procedure

Step 1                   

Dial the applicable number to call Connection.

Step 2

If you are calling from another phone within your organization or from outside your organization, press * (star key) when Connection answers.

Step 3

If prompted, enter your ID and press # (pound key).

Step 4

Enter your Connection PIN and press #.

Note 

If you use the voice-recognition option, Connection may prompt you to say your PIN or to enter it on the phone keypad. To say your PIN, speak each digit individually. If Connection is not able to recognize your PIN on the first attempt, you must enter it on the keypad. (For security reasons, you may want to enter your PIN on the keypad rather than say it; this option is always available to you.)

Sending Messages

Revised June 7, 2016

You can send voice messages to other Cisco Unity Connection users without dialing their extensions. This can be helpful when you do not want to disturb a user or when you do not have time for a phone conversation. Sending voice messages may also help to avoid misunderstandings that can be "read" into email messages.

You can address a voice message to one or multiple recipients, and to private and system distribution lists. Depending on the input style you are using, you address a message either by saying the name of a Connection user or distribution list, or by using the phone keypad to spell the name of the user or list, or to enter the extension or list number.

The following special delivery options are available:

Urgent

Mark a message urgent so that Connection sends it before regular messages.

Return receipt

Request a return receipt so that Connection notifies you when the recipient opens the message.

Note 

You may or may not receive receipts in response to your requests, depending on how your recipient's and your voicemail accounts are set up. And when you do receive receipts, they can be either read receipts or delivery receipts, again depending on how the voicemail accounts are set up.

Private

Mark a message private so that the recipient knows to treat it confidentially. Connection users cannot forward private messages by phone.

Future delivery

Deliver the message at the future date or time that you specify.

In addition to audio messages, you can also record a video message for an identified or unidentified user in case of Ring Not Answered (RNA) using phone keypad only.

Checking Messages

Revised November 16, 2010

You can check new and saved messages in your Cisco Unity Connection mailbox by phone, as well as messages in your email application.

You can save or delete messages during message playback or after you listen to an entire message.

Ask your Connection administrator if the system is set up to enforce a message-retention policy and, if so, how long it stores your messages before permanently deleting them. (Connection does not indicate when a message-retention policy is enforced, nor does it warn you before messages are permanently deleted as a result of such a policy.)

Note
Once a user is signed in to Unity Connection, the user can only play the video messages received from the users or outside callers through RNA scenarios. The user can not compose a video message even if the video messaging is enabled for the user.

Managing Receipts

Revised November 16, 2010

As you work with Cisco Unity Connection, you may manage the following types of receipts:

Read

Receipt message that informs you when the recipient plays your message.

Delivery

Receipt message that informs you when your message was delivered to the intended recipient.

Nondelivery

Receipt message that informs you when your message could not be delivered to the intended recipient.

Although you can request only return receipts in the Connection phone interface, you may be able to specifically request read or delivery receipts by using an email application. Note that you may or may not receive receipts in response to your requests, depending on how your recipient's and your voicemail accounts are set up. And when you do receive receipts in response to your receipt requests, they can be either read receipts or delivery receipts, again depending on how the voicemail accounts are set up.

When you check messages, Connection plays receipts along with your other messages. You play and delete receipts in the same way as other messages; you cannot reply to or forward them.

For read receipts, Connection plays a list of the recipients who played the message you sent. For nondelivery receipts (NDRs), Connection identifies recipients whose mailboxes did not accept the message.

After Connection plays an NDR, you can hear the original message and resend it to the recipient(s) who failed to receive it. You can record an introduction, modify the recipient list, and change delivery options when resending a message. Once you resend the message, Connection automatically deletes the NDR.
