Enrolling as a Cisco Unity Connection User

About Enrollment, page 1

Enrolling as a User, page 2

About EnrollmentYour first step in using Cisco Unity Connection is to enroll as a user, which you do by phone. Typically,

Connection is set up so that you hear the first-time enrollment conversation when you call the system for the

first time.

The first-time enrollment conversation is a set of prerecorded prompts that guide you as you do the following

tasks:

Record your name.

Record a greeting that outside callers hear when you do not answer your phone.

Change your PIN.

Choose whether to be listed in the directory. (When you are listed in the directory, callers who do not

know your extension can reach you by spelling or saying your name.)

Typically, your Connection administrator gives you an ID (usually your desk phone extension) and a temporary

PIN.

At any time after enrollment, you can rerecord your name and greeting, or change your PIN and directory

listing status.

Procedure

Step 1 Dial the applicable number to call Cisco Unity Connection from your desk phone, from another phone withinyour organization, or from outside your organization.

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 Respond as prompted. You do not need to refer to any Connection documentation during enrollment. Thesystem will tell you when the enrollment process is complete.

If you hang up before you have enrolled completely, the first-time enrollment conversation plays again the

next time you sign in to Connection.

About the Connection Conversation, page 3

Using Voice Commands with the Connection Conversation, page 4

About the Connection ConversationWhen you access Cisco Unity Connection by phone, you hear the Connection conversation. Its recorded

instructions and prompts guide you as you send and receive messages, record greetings, and change your

preferences. You can use any phone to access Connection.

There are two ways in which you can use Connection by phone:

Press the keys on the phone keypad.Phone keypad

Use this option when it is not important to have both hands free, when you are inan environment with significant background noise, or when you want more

Connection feature options.

Speak into the phone handset, headset, or speakerphone.Voice commands

Use this option when you want hands-free access to the Connection system.

Some TTY phones (text phones) do not have the capability to send the appropriate tones. In this case,

TTY users may need to use the phone keypad when navigating the Connection conversation.

Note

Using the Phone Keypad with the Connection ConversationThere are several versions of the Connection conversation, each providing different keypad mappings for the

Connection menu options. (For example, you might press 3 to delete a message in one version but press 7 to

delete a message in another version.)



12/124

Your Connection administrator determines the conversation version that you hear. Typically, an administrator

will select a conversation that has a keypad mapping that is familiar to you. Ask your Connection administrator

which conversation you are set up to use.

Related Topics

Cisco Unity Connection Phone Menus and Voice Commands, page 85

Using Voice Commands with the Connection ConversationCisco Unity Connection provides a voice-recognition option that lets you say what you want to do in the

Connection conversation. Voice commands are intuitive, easy to use, and available for most voice-messaging

tasks.

Procedures in the User Guide for the Cisco Unity Connection Phone Interface describe the voice commands

you can use, or you can say "Help" at any time to get more information on any menu.

At the Main menu, you can access a set of tutorials on working with voice commands by saying "Tutorial."

You can say commands at most points in the conversationyou do not have to wait for the system to finish

a prompt. In addition, if you know exactly what you want to do, you can say more complex commands withouthaving to navigate through a hierarchy of menus to accomplish a task. For example, you can say, "Send a

private and urgent message to Tina Chen" at the Main menu.

If you are not comfortable saying commands or you are in a situation where your commands are not recognized

by the system (for example, you are on a mobile phone where there is background noise), you can switch to

using only the phone keypad for the remainder of the call. To turn off voice commands, say "Touchtone

conversation" or press the applicable key at the Main menu. Your Connection administrator can tell you the

key, or you can say "Touchtone command Help." To switch back to using voice commands, hang up and sign

in to Connection again.

For select commands, you can press the applicable key without turning off voice commands. Your Connection

administrator can tell you the commands and the corresponding keys, or you can say "Touchtone command

Help."

Your Connection administrator determines whether the voice-recognition option is available to you.

Sending Voice MessagesRevised November 16, 2010



14/124

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 theextension or list number.

The following special delivery options are available:

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

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

the message.

Return receipt

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.

Note

Mark a message private so that the recipient knows to treat it confidentially.

Connection users cannot forward private messages by phone.

Private

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

Sending a Voice Message by Using the Phone Keypad

list has a display name in the Messaging Assistant web tool, spell the name by using spelling

entry.

When more than one user matches your addressing entries, Connection plays a list of matches

that you can navigate quickly. Press # to select a recipient from a list; press 7 to skip to theprevious name and 9 to skip to the next name; and press 77 to skip to the beginning of a list and

You can check newand 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.)

Managing ReceiptsRevised November 16, 2010

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

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

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

recipient.

Delivery

Receipt message that informs you when your message could not be delivered to

the intended recipient.

Nondelivery

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 whenresending a message. Once you resend the message, Connection automatically deletes the NDR.

About Deleted MessagesCisco Unity Connection saves your deleted messages; you can play, restore, or permanently delete them.

Permanently Deleting Deleted MessagesDeleting messages can be an important way to reduce the size of your mailbox, especially when Cisco Unity

Connection is not set up to automatically delete messages once they reach a certain age.

Ask your Connection administrator if the system is set up to enforce a message-retention policy. 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. If Connection is not set up to do so, make sure that you

permanently delete messages periodically.

Managing Dispatch Messages

About Dispatch Messages, page 27

Responding to Dispatch Messages, page 27

About Dispatch MessagesDispatch messages are sent to a distribution list of users who are available to respond to issues. Only one

person needs to accept a dispatch message. After Cisco Unity Connection plays a dispatch message, it provide

the following options:

Means that you are the only member of the distribution list who will accept the

message. Copies of the message are removed from the mailboxes of all other

recipients, whether they have listened to the message or not.

Accept the message

Means that the message is removed from your mailbox, but copies of the message

remain as unheard in the mailboxes of other recipients who have not yet declined

the message.

Decline the message

If all other recipients have declined the dispatch message, you must

accept it. You will not be allowed to decline the message.

Note

Means that the message remains as an unheard message in your mailbox and

in the mailboxes of the other recipients who have not yet declined the message.

Postpone the message

Responding to Dispatch Messages

Note the following considerations about responding to dispatch messages:

If another recipient accepts the dispatch message before you accept it, your copy of the message is

removed from your mailbox.

When you decline a dispatch message, Cisco Unity Connection does not move it to your deleted items

folder.



36/124

Dispatch messages trigger the message indicator on your phone. If another recipient accepts a dispatch

message, Connection turns off the indicator after it removes the message from your mailbox. There may

be a window of time between message removal and the indicator going off. If you find no new messages

after noting the indicator, it likely is because you checked during this window.

When configuring message notification rules to include dispatch messages, be aware that by the time

you receive a notification and call in to retrieve the message, it may be gone from your mailbox because

another user has already accepted the message.

Using Voice Commands to Place Calls

About Using Voice Commands to Place Calls, page 29

Placing Calls by Using Voice Commands, page 29

About Using Voice Commands to Place CallsYou can place a call to a contact or to another Cisco Unity Connection user by saying the person's name, or

phone number or extension.

For example, when you say "Call Harriet Smith," Connection finds the extension for Harriet in the corporate

directory and places the call. When you say "Call Mom at home," Connection finds your mother's home phone

number in your contact list and places the call.

To place calls by using voice commands, you must be signed in to Connection. This feature can be useful

when you are checking messages and want to place or return calls.

After you say a name, phone number, or extension, Connection plays a matching name or number and placesthe call. If Connection finds more than one match for a name or number that you requested, the first match is

played and Connection will ask you to confirm whether the match is correct. If not, say "No," and Connection

will continue to play the other matches.

Placing Calls by Using Voice Commands

Procedure


Step 2 When Connection asks, "What do you want to do," say:"Call " to call a Connection user. (For example, "Call Frank Edwards.")

Or

"Call at " to call a contact at a particular number. (For

example, "Call Bob on his mobile" or "Call Service Department at work.")

Or



38/124

"Call " to call a Connection extension or a phone number. Say each digit individually. (For example,

for extension 12345, say "Call one two three four five," not "Call twelve three forty-five.")

Step 3 As Connection says the name or number of the person you are calling, you can say "Cancel" to halt the lastaction without losing your connection to the system.

Recording Greetings in Additional Languages with a Multilingual System, page 41

About Personal GreetingsCisco Unity Connection allows you to record up to six personal greetings. You can turn on as many greetings

as you want, and you can specify how long you want the greetings to stay on.

With a multilingual system, you have the option of providing your personal greetings in multiple

languagesyour default language and other languages available on your system. Note that you use the phone

keypad to manage greetings in languages other than your default language; you cannot use voice commands

The six personal greetings and how they work are described below. Note that Connection plays the greetings

that you turn on for the applicable situation, while some greetings override other greetings when they are on

Standard Greeting

This greeting plays during the business hours that your Connection administrator specified for your organization

or in other situations when no other greeting is on.

By design, the standard greeting cannot be turned off.

Closed Greeting

Turn on this greeting when you want your callers to hear a recording from you during the nonbusiness hoursthat your Connection administrator specified for your organization. (For example, "Sorry, I am not available

to answer your call. Company office hours are .")

When it is on, the closed greeting overrides the standard greeting during nonbusiness hours.

Alternate Greeting

Turn on this greeting for a specific time period when you want to provide information about special

circumstances, such as when you are on vacation. (For example, "I will be out of the office until .")



44/124

When it is on, the alternate greeting overrides all other greetings.

Your Connection administrator specifies whether the system transfers callers to your greeting without ringing

your phone, whether callers are able to skip your greeting, and whether callers can leave you a message when

your alternate greeting is on. The Alternate Greeting page in the Messaging Assistant web tool indicates the

caller options that your administrator has enabled for you, if any. Note that caller options do not apply when

an outside caller or another Connection user dials your extension directly.

Other Connection users do not hear your alternate greeting when they send messages to you by phone.

When you turn on your alternate greeting, consider also changing your recorded name to include information

that you are out of the office. Your recorded name plays when users address messages to you and when

callers look you up in the directory.

Tip

Connection may play a prompt to remind you that your alternate greeting is on after you sign in by phone.

Busy Greeting

Turn on this greeting when you want callers to know that you are on the phone. (For example, "I am currently

on another line, please leave a message.")

When it is on, the busy greeting overrides the standard, closed, and internal greetings when your phone is

busy.

Note that not all phone systems provide the support necessary for the Connection busy greeting to work. For

assistance, talk to your Connection administrator.

Internal Greeting

Turn on this greeting when you want to provide information that coworkers might need to know. (For example,

"I will be in conference room B until noon today.")

When it is on, the internal greeting overrides the standard and closed greetings, and plays only to callers within

your organization when you do not answer your phone.

Note that not all phone systems provide the support necessary for the internal greeting to work. For assistance,

talk to your Connection administrator.

Holiday Greeting

Turn on this greeting when you want callers to hear a recording from you during a holiday. (For example,

"Happy holiday. I am not available to answer your call. I will be out of the office from to .")

When it is on, the holiday greeting overrides the standard greeting during nonbusiness hours.

Rerecording Your Current GreetingIn this section, you make a new recording for the greeting that Cisco Unity Connection is currently set to play.

Connection plays the greeting in the applicable situation until the date and time that you specified, and then

the greeting is automatically turned off. For example, you can set your alternate greeting to stop playing on

the day that you return from a vacation.

You can also set a greeting to play indefinitely, which is useful when you turn on the busy or closed greeting.

You select from one of the following sources to specify what callers hear when a greeting is on:

Note

Connection plays a prerecorded greeting along with your recorded name

(for example, "Sorry, is not available"). If you do not have a

System Greeting

recorded name, Connection uses text-to-speech to read your display name

instead. When a greeting is on but not recorded, Connection plays a

prerecorded system greeting.

You can turn off a greeting at any time. When a greeting is off, Connection no longer plays it, though the

recording is not erased.

If you record a personal greeting then set the greeting to use the system greeting, your recording is no

longer available by phone. Record and enable a new personal greeting.

Recording Greetings in Additional Languages with aMultilingual System

With a multilingual system, you have the option of providing your greetings in multiple languages. For

example, if Cisco Unity Connection is set up to provide prompts in French and Spanish, you might record

your standard greeting in both languages so that Spanish- and French-speaking callers can hear your greeting

in their own language.

If you do not record a greeting in a language that your system provides, Connection will play the system

greeting for calls associated with that language. For example, if you recorded your standard greeting in French

but not in Spanish, Spanish-speaking callers would hear the system greeting for you, while French-speaking

callers would hear the French greeting that you recorded.

Note that when you select a language in which to record a greeting, Connection plays the Greetings menu

options in the same language.

About Private ListsYou can use private lists to create your own groups of voice message recipients. When you address a voice

message to one of your private lists, all of the recipients on the list receive the message. Cisco Unity Connection

provides several private lists for you to personalize.

Only you can send voice messages to your private lists. You can do so by using the phone keypad or voicecommands. You cannot send messages from your email application to your private lists.

Creating Private ListsYour Cisco Unity Connection administrator specifies the maximum number of lists that you can manage. The

lists are prenumbered. Once you have added names to a list, Connection plays the list number as an identification

when you manage your lists.

Although you can create private lists by phone, it is easier to do so in the Messaging Assistant web tool.Tip
