Overview#

Integrate Unity-Call Manager is the main tool used to push integration between CUCM and CUC, allowing you to create a SIP integration between Cisco Unified Call Manager (CUCM) and Cisco Unity Connection (CUC).

You can select the following tabs on the Integrate Unity-CallManager page:

  • UC Publisher Application Selection

  • Deployment Options

  • CUCM Global

  • Unity Port Group

  • Unity Ports

  • CUCM Voicemail Pilot

  • CUCM Voicemail Profile

  • CUCM Route List

  • CUCM Route Group

  • CUCM to CUC Publisher SIP Trunk

  • CUCM to CUC Subscriber SIP Trunk

Configure the Integrate Unity-CallManager#

  1. In the Automate Admin portal, go to Integrate Unity-CallManager.

  2. Fill out the following fields to auto-populate initial key values:

    • On the UC Publisher Application Selection tab/panel:

      • Mandatory. Select an option at Provisioning Target Call Manager.

      • Mandatory. Select an option at Provisioning Target Unity.

    • On the Deployment Options tab/panel:

      • Mandatory. Select an option at Voicemail Service Dial Plan Profile.

  3. Mandatory. On the Deployment Options tab/panel, fill out values for the following:

    • At Dial Plan Advanced Mode:

      • Select this checkbox to unlock the fields for dial plan elements. You then have the ability to update those values ‘live’.

      • Clear this checkbox to return the dial plan elements to the default voicemail dial plan profile values.

      Note

      You can choose to hide this checkbox from lower level administrators.

    • At Provision CUCM-Unity in Redundant Mode:

      • Clear this checkbox to allow this feature to function in single mode; that is, to operate in a similar way to the original voicemail service (Publisher only and no Subscriber trunk).

      • Select this checkbox to provision in redundant mode. In this mode, you can configure ports on both the Publisher and Subscriber Unity nodes, as well as build a trunk to both Publisher and Subscriber.

    Note

    The Unity Tenant(s) Present checkbox is selected by default if the Provisioning Target Unity server you selected on the UC Publisher Application Selection tab/panel contains tenants.

  4. View auto-populated settings on the CUCM Global tab/panel - these values auto-populate based on options selected for Voicemail Service Dial Plan Profile on the Deployment tab/panel:

    • The value for SIP Profile, which assigns the configured settings in this SIP profile to the associated device.

    • The value for SIP Trunk Security Profile, which assigns a single security profile to multiple SIP trunks in order to apply the configured settings to the SIP trunks.

  5. Complete at minimum the mandatory values on the following tabs:

  • Distribution Algorithm - Choose a distribution algorithm from the drop-down:

    • Top Down - If you choose this distribution algorithm, CUCM distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the first idle or available member of a route group to the last idle or available member.

    • Circular - If you choose this distribution algorithm, CUCM distributes a call to idle or available members starting from the (n+1)th member of a route group, where the nth member is the member to which CUCM most recently extended a call. If the nth member is the last member of a route group, CUCM distributes a call starting from the top of the route group.
