Introduction

This document describes how to set the restriction table for message notification.

Prerequisites

Requirements

A basic knowledge of Cisco Unity Administration is required.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on Cisco Unity 5.x.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

Restriction Tables

Restriction tables allow you to control the phone numbers that subscribers and administrators can use to:

• Transfer calls

• Deliver faxes to a fax machine

• Send message notifications

• Send AMIS messages

For example, you can specify that subscribers have calls transferred only to internal extensions or that faxes are delivered only to local phone numbers. Restriction tables are applied regardless of how a subscriber or administrator accesses Cisco Unity. They do not affect the phone numbers that subscribers and administrators can dial when they are not logged on to Cisco Unity.

Configure

When a subscriber uses either the Cisco Unity Assistant or the Cisco Unity conversation in order to attempt to change a phone number intended for message notification, fax delivery, or call transfer, or when subscribers use Caller system transfers in order to transfer to a number they specify, Cisco Unity applies the applicable restriction table to verify that the phone number entered is allowed.

This also happens when an administrator uses the Cisco Unity Administrator to attempt to change a phone number intended for message notification, fax delivery, or call transfer. In each case, the restriction table used is the one associated with the subscriber or administrator who changes the number.

Perform the following steps in order to configure:

1. In the Cisco Unity Administrator, go to Call Management > Restriction Tables page.

2. Access the Restriction Tables settings on the Management menu.

3. On the Search Restriction Tables page, choose the display name of the restriction table you want to modify.

   Note:  {Default Outdial} restricts the numbers for message notifications. It also restricts the subscriber extensions that Cisco Unity dials when the phone is selected as the recording and playback device in the Media Master. (The Media Master is available in the Cisco Unity Administrator, the Cisco Unity Assistant, the Cisco Unity Inbox, and ViewMail.)

   This table allows the number that you are trying to insert as the Message Notification number.

4. On the Dial Strings table (for each of the Restriction Tables listed above), click the call pattern that best matches the number you are trying to add.

5. To modify a dial string, click the dial string number in the table at the bottom portion of the Restriction Tables page, and change the settings as applicable.

6. Change the Allow this string setting from No to Yes. And this is exactly what you did. When you set the pattern in the {Default Outdial} restriction table to Yes, the notification device input field accepted your input.

7. Click the Save icon.

Verify

There is currently no verification procedure available for this configuration.
