Components Used
The information in this document is based on CUC Release 9.X or later integrated via Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) with CUCM 9.x or later.
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, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Configuration
Step 1. Create a new Voice Mail Profile on CUCM:
Navigate to Advance Features > Voice Mail > Voice Mail Profile > Add New
|
Voice Mail Profile Name |
Use a distinguished name for this Profile |
| Description | Optional |
| Voice Mail Pilot |
Assign the pre-configured pilot number and Calling Search Space (CSS) for current integration, use Route Pattern if SIP or Hunt Pilot if SCCP |
| Voice Mail Box Mask | Use a wildcard to match the dialing plan of users extension, for example: use XXXX to match 4 digit extensions dial plan |
| Make this the default Voice Mail Profile for the System | Unchecked |

Under Call Forward and Call Pickup Settings select Forward All to Voice Mail option:
Verify
Transfer to any pattern that match *XXXX reach the CTI Route Point, the Voicemail Box mask XXXX allows only 4 digit extension to be routed, Unity Connection receives the call as a forwarded call to that extension and send caller directly to user's mailbox.
Troubleshoot
For transferred call that reach CUC Default Opening Greeting use Remote Port Status Monitor (rPSM) for Unity Connection to verify the transfer extensions.
