Requirements

The Nortel SL-100 integration supports configurations of the following components:

Phone System

The Nortel SL-100 phone system.

Software version SE-06 or later.

T1 digital trunk interface card (NT5D11).

The firmware must be configured to support T1 line-side signaling.

T1 CAS connections to the TIMG units by using the FXS/FSO or E&M protocol.

One or more TIMG units (media gateways). For details, refer to the "Supported Phone System Integrations Through PIMG/TIMG Units" section in the applicable Supported Hardware and Software, and Support Policies for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

The serial data port on the phone system connected to the serial port on the master TIMG unit with an RS-232 serial cable (which is available from Cisco).

Specifications for the serial cable are in Connecting PBX-IP Media Gateway (PIMG) to the Serial Port of a PBX at http://www.dialogic.com/support/helpweb/mg/tn117.htm.

We recommend that the serial cable have the following construction:

A maximum of 50 feet (15.24 m) in length

24 AWG stranded conductors

Low capacitance—for example, no more than 12 pF/ft (39.4 pF/m) between conductors

At least 65 percent braided shield over aluminized polymer sleeve around conductors

UL-recognized overall cable jacket insulation with low dielectric constant

Braided shield fully terminated to and enclosed by a metal connector backshell

Gold-plated connector contacts

The voice messaging ports in the phone system connected by T1 digital lines (DS1 or "dry T1" digital lines only) to the ports on the TIMG units.


Caution T1 (or "wet T1") connections to the PSTN must be through an MTU, CSU, or other device that provides line isolation. Otherwise, the TIMG units may be damaged.

The TIMG units connected to the same LAN or WAN that Cisco Unity is connected to.

If the TIMG units connect to a WAN, the requirements for the WAN network connections are:

For G.729a codec formatting, a minimum of 32.76 Kbps guaranteed bandwidth for each voice messaging port.

For G.711 codec formatting, a minimum of 91.56 Kbps guaranteed bandwidth for each voice messaging port.

No network devices that implement network address translation (NAT).

A maximum 200 ms network latency.

The phone system ready for the integration, as described in the documentation for the phone system.

Cisco Unity Server

Cisco Unity 4.2 installed and ready for the integration, as described in the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

For Cisco Unity 4.2(1) only, the latest ES installed.

A license that enables the applicable number of voice messaging ports.

Integration Description

The Nortel SL-100 integration sends call information and MWI requests through the data link, which is an RS-232 serial cable that connects the phone system and the master TIMG unit. Voice connections are sent through the T1 digital lines between the phone system and the TIMG units. The TIMG units communicate with the Cisco Unity server through the LAN or WAN by using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Figure 1 shows the required connections.

Figure 1 Connections Between the Phone System and Cisco Unity

Call Information

The phone system sends the following information with forwarded calls:

The extension of the called party

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)

The reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set to forward all calls)

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.

Integration Functionality

The Nortel SL-100 integration with Cisco Unity provides the following integration features:

Call forward to personal greeting

Call forward to busy greeting

Caller ID

Easy message access (a subscriber can retrieve messages without entering an ID because Cisco Unity identifies the subscriber based on the extension from which the call originated; a password may be required)

Identified subscriber messaging (Cisco Unity identifies the subscriber who leaves a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension from which the call originated)

Message waiting indication (MWI)

Supervised Transfer for Calls

When supervised transfer is enabled and a caller hangs up while being transferred to another phone, the called phone will ring briefly even though there is no call. If the ringing phone is answered, there will be no call, only dead air will be heard.

Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems

Cisco Unity 4.2 can be integrated with two or more phone systems at one time. For information on the maximum supported combinations and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity with multiple phone systems, refer to the Multiple Phone System Integration Guide for Cisco Unity 4.2 at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.

Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity

Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity. The following considerations will affect the programming for the phone system (for example, setting up the hunt group or call forwarding for the voice messaging ports):

The number of voice messaging ports installed.

The number of voice messaging ports that will answer calls.

The number of voice messaging ports that will only dial out, for example, to send message notification, to set message waiting indicators (MWIs), to make AMIS deliveries, and to make telephone record and playback (TRAP) connections.

The following table describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity that can be set in UTIM, and that are displayed as read-only text on the System > Ports page of the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Table 1 Settings for the Voice Messaging Ports 

Field
Considerations

Extension

Enter the extension for the port as assigned on the phone system.

Enabled

Check this check box to enable the port. The port is enabled during normal operation.

Uncheck this check box to disable the port. When the port is disabled, calls to the port get a ringing tone but are not answered. Typically, the port is disabled only by the installer during testing.

Answer Calls

Check this check box to designate the port for answering calls. These calls can be incoming calls from unidentified callers or from subscribers.

Message Notification

Check this check box to designate the port for notifying subscribers of messages. Assign Message Notification to the least busy ports.

Dialout MWI

(not used by serial integrations)

Do not check this check box. Otherwise, the integration may not function correctly.

AMIS Delivery

(available with the AMIS licensed feature only)

Check this check box to designate the port for making outbound AMIS calls to deliver voice messages from Cisco Unity subscribers to users on another voice messaging system. Cisco Unity supports the Audio Messaging Interchange Specification (AMIS) protocol, which provides an analog mechanism for transferring voice messages between different voice messaging systems.

This setting affects outbound AMIS calls only. All ports are used for incoming AMIS calls.

Because the transmission of outgoing AMIS messages may tie up voice ports for long periods of time, you may want to adjust the schedule on the Network > AMIS > Schedule page so that outgoing AMIS calls are placed during closed hours or at times when Cisco Unity is not processing many calls.

TRAP Connection

Check this check box so that subscribers can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity web applications and e-mail clients. Assign TRAP Connection to the least busy ports.


The Number of Voice Messaging Ports to Install

The number of voice messaging ports to install depends on numerous factors, including:

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 to play back and record over the phone.)

The number of calls that will use the automated attendant and call handlers when call traffic is at its peak.

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.

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 in Cisco Unity web applications.

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.

Programming the Nortel SL-100 Phone System

Instruct the phone system technician to set up the phone system in the manner directed in the following procedure.

To Program the Nortel SL-100 Phone System for a Serial TIMG Integration with Cisco Unity


Step 1 Program the phone lines connecting to the voice messaging ports on the TIMG units as a multiline hunt group.

Make sure that the phone system sends calls only to Cisco Unity voice messaging ports that are set to Answer Calls. Calls sent to a voice port not set to Answer Calls cannot be answered by Cisco Unity and may cause other problems.

Step 2 Enable hookflash transfer capability on each phone line that connects to the voice messaging ports on the TIMG units.

Step 3 Enable caller ID (through the serial data link to the master TIMG unit) on each subscriber extension.


Caution The phone system just provide caller ID through the serial data link to the master TIMG unit. Otherwise, some integration features will not function correctly.

Step 4 For each subscriber extension, set the call forwarding options to the following:

Unrestricted source

Forward when the extension is not answered

Forward when the extension is busy
