QSIG-Enabled Phone System with Cisco ISR Voice Gateway Integration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 10.x

Revised November, 2014

This document provides instructions for integrating a QSIG-enabled phone system with Cisco Unity Connection through a Cisco ISR voice gateway.

Integration Tasks

Before doing the following tasks to integrate Cisco Unity Connection with a QSIG-enabled phone system through a Cisco ISR voice gateway, confirm that Cisco Unity Connection is ready for the integration by completing the applicable tasks in the Installation Guide for Cisco Unity Connection.

The following task list describes the process for creating the integration.

Task List to Create the Integration

Use the following task list to integrate Cisco Unity Connection with a QSIG-enabled phone system through a Cisco ISR voice gateway.

1. Review the system and equipment requirements to confirm that all phone system and Cisco Unity Connection server requirements have been met. See the “Requirements” section.

2. Plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity Connection. See the “Planning How the Voice Messaging Ports Will Be Used by Cisco Unity Connection” section.

3. Program the QSIG-enabled phone system. See the “Programming the QSIG-Enabled Phone System” section.

4. Configure the Cisco ISR voice gateway. See the “Configuring the Cisco ISR Voice Gateway” section.

5. Create the integration. See the “Creating a New Integration with the QSIG-enabled Phone System” section.

6. Test the integration. See the “Testing the Integration” section.

7. If this integration is a second or subsequent integration, add the applicable new user templates for the new phone system. See the “Adding New User Templates for Multiple Integrations” section.

Requirements

The QSIG-enabled integration supports configurations of the following components:

Phone System

  • A QSIG-enabled phone system.
  • The phone system is ready for the integration.

Cisco ISR Voice Gateway

  • Cisco IOS version 12.4(11)T or later.
  • The QSIG-enabled phone system connected to the Cisco ISR voice gateway.

Cisco Unity Connection Server

Centralized Voice Messaging

Cisco Unity Connection supports centralized voice messaging through the phone system, which supports various inter-phone system networking protocols including proprietary protocols such as Avaya DCS, Nortel MCDN, or Siemens CorNet, and standards-based protocols such as QSIG or DPNSS. Note that centralized voice messaging is a function of the phone system and its inter-phone system networking, not voice mail. Unity Connection will support centralized voice messaging as long as the phone system and its inter-phone system networking are properly configured. For details, see the “Centralized Voice Messaging” section in the “Integrating Cisco Unity Connection with the Phone System” chapter of the Design Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 10.x at www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/design/guide/10xcucdgx.html.

Integration Description

This integration uses a Cisco ISR voice gateway and a LAN or WAN to connect Cisco Unity Connection and a QSIG-enabled phone system. The Cisco ISR voice gateway converts the QSIG communications to SIP. Figure 1 shows the required connections.

Figure 1 Connections Between the Phone System and Cisco Unity Connection

 

Call Information

The QSIG-enabled phone system integration 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 Connection uses this information to answer the call appropriately. For example, a call forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection is answered with the personal greeting of the user. If the phone system routes the call to Cisco Unity Connection without this information, Cisco Unity Connection answers with the opening greeting.

Integration Functionality

The QSIG-enabled phone system integration with Cisco Unity Connection provides the following features:

  • Call forward to personal greeting
  • Call forward to busy greeting
  • Caller ID
  • Easy message access (a user can retrieve messages without entering an ID; Cisco Unity Connection identifies a user based on the extension from which the call originated; a password may be required)
  • Identified user messaging (Cisco Unity Connection identifies the user who leaves a message during a forwarded internal call, based on the extension from which the call originated)
  • Message waiting indication (MWI)

Integrations with Multiple Phone Systems

When Cisco Unity Connection is installed as Cisco Business Edition—on the same server with Cisco Unified Communications Manager—Cisco Unity Connection cannot be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time.

When Cisco Unity Connection is not installed as Cisco Business Edition, Cisco Unity Connection can be integrated with multiple phone systems at one time. For information on and instructions for integrating Cisco Unity Connection with multiple phone systems, see the Multiple Phone System Integration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 10.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.

Note In Unity Connection integration with multiple phone systems is not supported for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 and is supported only with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 6000/7000.

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

Before programming the phone system, you need to plan how the voice messaging ports will be used by Cisco Unity Connection. 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.

For a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, each Cisco Unity Connection server must have enough ports to handle all voice messaging traffic in case the other server stops functioning.

  • 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), and to make telephone record and playback (TRAP) connections.

Note The Cisco ISR voice gateway will perform transfers by hairpinning two independent calls across two b-channels on the QSIG trunk. Hairpinned calls will use more QSIG channels in comparison to the number of Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging ports that are available to answer calls.

Release (blind) transfers that are forwarded back to Cisco Unity Connection will use three b-channels for the remainder of the call. However, supervised transfers pull back the consulting call when the target is unavailable so that only one b-channel is used for the remainder of the call.

The following table describes the voice messaging port settings in Cisco Unity Connection that can be set on Telephony Integrations > Port of Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

 

Table 1 Settings for the Voice Messaging Ports

Field
Considerations

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.

Server

(When a Cisco Unity Connection cluster is configured) Select the name of the Cisco Unity Connection server that you want to handle this port.

Assign an equal number of answering and dial-out voice messaging ports to the Cisco Unity Connection servers so that they equally share the voice messaging traffic.

Answer Calls

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

Caution All voice messaging ports connecting to the Cisco ISR voice gateway must have the Answer Calls box checked. Otherwise, calls to Unity Connection may not be answered.

Perform Message Notification

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

Send MWI Requests

Check this check box to designate the port for turning MWIs on and off. Assign Send MWI Requests to the least busy ports.

Allow TRAP Connections

Check this check box so that users can use the port for recording and playback through the phone in Cisco Unity Connection web applications. Assign Allow TRAP Connections 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 Connection will answer when call traffic is at its peak.
  • The expected length of each message that callers will record and that users will listen to.
  • The number of users.
  • 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 TRAP connections needed when call traffic is at its peak. (TRAP connections are used by Cisco Unity Connection 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.
  • Whether a Cisco Unity Connection cluster is configured. For considerations, see the “Considerations for a Cisco Unity Connection Cluster” section.

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 users. Assign all of the voice messaging ports to answer calls.

You can set voice messaging ports to both answer calls and to dial out (for example, to send message notifications).

Note The Cisco ISR voice gateway will perform transfers by hairpinning two independent calls across two b-channels on the QSIG trunk. Hairpinned calls will use more QSIG channels in comparison to the number of Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging ports that are available to answer calls. If your system uses Cisco Unity Connection auto-attendant transfers, you must provision a larger number of QSIG b-channels than the number of Cisco Unity Connection voice messaging ports that will answer calls.

If your system is configured for a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, see the “Considerations for a Cisco Unity Connection Cluster” section.

The Number of Voice Messaging Ports That Will Dial Out

Ports that will only dial out can do one or more of the following:

  • Notify users by phone, pager, or e-mail of messages that have arrived.
  • Turn MWIs on and off for user extensions.
  • Make a TRAP Unity Connection so that users can use the phone as a recording and playback device in Cisco Unity Connection web applications.

If your system is configured for a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, see the “Considerations for a Cisco Unity Connection Cluster” section.

Considerations for a Cisco Unity Connection Cluster

If your system is configured for a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, consider how the voice messaging ports will be used in different scenarios.

When Both Cisco Unity Connection Servers Are Functioning Normally

  • A hunt group is configured on the phone system to distribute calls equally to both Cisco Unity Connection servers.
  • The network is configured to send incoming calls first to the subscriber server, then to the publisher server if no answering ports are available on the subscriber server.
  • Both Cisco Unity Connection servers are active and handle voice messaging traffic for the system.
  • In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, the voice messaging ports are configured so that an equal number of voice messaging ports are assigned to each Cisco Unity Connection server. This guide directs you to assign the voice messaging ports to their specific server at the applicable time.
  • The number of voice messaging ports that are assigned to one Cisco Unity Connection server must be sufficient to handle all of the voice messaging traffic for the system (answering calls and dialing out) when the other Cisco Unity Connection server stops functioning.

If both Cisco Unity Connection servers must be functioning to handle the voice messaging traffic, the system will not have sufficient capacity when one of the servers stops functioning.

  • Each Cisco Unity Connection server is assigned half the total number of voice messaging ports.

If all the voice messaging ports are assigned to one Cisco Unity Connection server, the other Cisco Unity Connection server will not be able to answer calls or to dial out.

  • Each Cisco Unity Connection server must have voice messaging ports that will answer calls and that can dial out (for example, to set MWIs).

When Only One Cisco Unity Connection Server Is Functioning

  • The hunt group on the phone system sends all calls to the functioning Cisco Unity Connection server.
  • The functioning Cisco Unity Connection server receives all voice messaging traffic for the system.
  • The number of voice messaging ports that are assigned to the functioning Cisco Unity Connection server must be sufficient to handle all of the voice messaging traffic for the system (answering calls and dialing out).
  • The functioning Cisco Unity Connection server must have voice messaging ports that will answer calls and that can dial out (for example, to set MWIs).

If the functioning Cisco Unity Connection server does not have voice messaging ports for answering calls, the system will not be able to answer incoming calls. Similarly, if the functioning Cisco Unity Connection server does not have voice messaging ports for dialing out, the system will not be able to dial out (for example, to set MWIs).

Programming the QSIG-Enabled Phone System

Note that you must program each extension to forward calls to the pilot number assigned to the voice messaging ports, based on one of the call transfer types shown in Table 2 .

 

Table 2 Call Transfer Types

Transfer Types
Usage

Release transfer
(blind transfer)

Program the phone to forward calls to the pilot number when:

  • The extension is busy
  • The call is not answered

Supervised transfer

Program the phone to forward calls to the pilot number only when the call is not answered (on the phone system, the number of rings before forwarding must be more than the number of rings to supervise the call). Confirm that call forwarding is disabled when the extension is busy.

Configuring the Cisco ISR Voice Gateway

Note If the Cisco Unity Connection SIP Port setting will not be 5060 (for example, it is set to 5061), you must change the SIP port that the Cisco ISR voice gateway uses. You can use a command similar to the following:
dial-peer voice 1 voip
session protocol sipv2
session target ipv4:10.00.00.00:5061

For a Cisco Unity Connection cluster, identify the Cisco Unity Connection servers with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), and configure a DNS server to resolve the FQDN to the IP addresses and SIP ports of the Cisco Unity Connection server.

Step 12 On the Edit menu, select Transfer Rules.

Step 13 On the Transfer Rules page, select the active option.

Step 14 On the Edit Transfer Rule page, under Transfer Action, select the Extension option and enter the extension of Phone 1.

Step 15 In the Transfer Type field, select Release to Switch.

Step 16 Select Save.

Step 17 Minimize the Cisco Unity Connection Administration window.

Do not close the Cisco Unity Connection Administration window because you will use it again in a later procedure.

Step 18 Sign in to the Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT).

Step 19 On the Unity Connection menu, select Port Monitor. The Port Monitor tool appears in the right pane.

Step 20 In the right pane, select Start Polling. The Port Monitor will display which port is handling the calls that you will make.

 

To Test an External Call with Release Transfer

Step 1 From Phone 2, enter the access code necessary to get an outside line, then enter the number outside callers use to dial directly to Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 2 In the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.

Step 3 When you hear the opening greeting, enter the extension for Phone 1. Hearing the opening greeting means that the port is configured correctly.

Step 4 Confirm that Phone 1 rings and that you hear a ringback tone on Phone 2. Hearing a ringback tone means that Cisco Unity Connection correctly released the call and transferred it to Phone 1.

Step 5 Leaving Phone 1 unanswered, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to “Idle.” This state means that release transfer is successful.

Step 6 Confirm that, after the number of rings that the phone system is set to wait, the call is forwarded to Cisco Unity Connection and that you hear the greeting for the test user. Hearing the greeting means that the phone system forwarded the unanswered call and the call-forward information to Cisco Unity Connection, which correctly interpreted the information.

Step 7 On the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.

Step 8 Leave a message for the test user and hang up Phone 2.

Step 9 In the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to “Idle.” This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.

Step 10 Confirm that the MWI on Phone 1 is activated. The activated MWI means that the phone system and Cisco Unity Connection are successfully integrated for turning on MWIs.

 

To Test Listening to Messages

Step 1 From Phone 1, enter the internal pilot number for Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 2 When asked for your password, enter the password for the test user. Hearing the request for your password means that the phone system sent the necessary call information to Cisco Unity Connection, which correctly interpreted the information.

Step 3 Confirm that you hear the recorded voice name for the test user (if you did not record a voice name for the test user, you will hear the extension number for Phone 1). Hearing the voice name means that Cisco Unity Connection correctly identified the user by the extension.

Step 4 Listen to the message.

Step 5 After listening to the message, delete the message.

Step 6 Confirm that the MWI on Phone 1 is deactivated. The deactivated MWI means that the phone system and Cisco Unity Connection are successfully integrated for turning off MWIs.

Step 7 Hang up Phone 1.

Step 8 On the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to “Idle.” This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.

 

To Set Up Supervised Transfer on Cisco Unity Connection

Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, on the Edit Transfer Rule page for the test user, in the Transfer Type field, select Supervise Transfer.

Step 2 In the Rings to Wait For field, enter 3.

Step 3 Select Save.

Step 4 Minimize the Cisco Unity Connection Administration window.

Do not close the Cisco Unity Connection Administration window because you will use it again in a later procedure.

 

To Test Supervised Transfer

Step 1 From Phone 2, enter the access code necessary to get an outside line, then enter the number outside callers use to dial directly to Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 2 On the Port Monitor, note which port handles this call.

Step 3 When you hear the opening greeting, enter the extension for Phone 1. Hearing the opening greeting means that the port is configured correctly.

Step 4 Confirm that Phone 1 rings and that you do not hear a ringback tone on Phone 2. Instead, you should hear the indication your phone system uses to mean that the call is on hold (for example, music).

Step 5 Leaving Phone 1 unanswered, confirm that the state of the port handling the call remains “Busy.” This state and hearing an indication that you are on hold mean that Cisco Unity Connection is supervising the transfer.

Step 6 Confirm that, after three rings, you hear the greeting for the test user. Hearing the greeting means that Cisco Unity Connection successfully recalled the supervised-transfer call.

Step 7 During the greeting, hang up Phone 2.

Step 8 On the Port Monitor, confirm that the state of the port handling the call changes to “Idle.” This state means that the port was successfully released when the call ended.

Step 9 Select Stop Polling.

Step 10 Sign out of RTMT.

 

Adding New User Templates for Multiple Integrations

When you create the first phone system integration, this phone system is automatically selected in the default user template. The users that you add after creating this phone system integration will be assigned to this phone system by default.

However, for each additional phone system integration that you create, you must add the applicable new user templates that will assign users to the new phone system. You must add the new templates before you add new users who will be assigned to the new phone system.

For details on adding new user templates, or on selecting a user template when adding a new user, see the “User Templates” section in “User Attributes” chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 10.x. The guide is available at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/install_upgrade/guide/10xcuciumgx/10xcuciumg030.html.
