Preface
This preface describes the purpose, audience, organization, and conventions of the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide, and provides information on how to obtain related documentation.
Purpose
The Cisco Unity System Administration Guide introduces you to the Cisco Unity Administrator, which is the administration interface for Cisco Unity™, and explains how to set up and maintain Cisco Unity.
The Cisco Unity System Administration Guide focuses on Cisco Unity. It does not provide information on Microsoft® Exchange, Microsoft® Windows NT®, Microsoft Windows® 2000, or setting up the Cisco Unity server as an e-mail server.
Audience
This guide is intended for system administrators and others responsible for managing Cisco Unity. If you are administering Cisco Unity as an e-mail server or on a network with existing Exchange servers, you need a working knowledge of Exchange and Windows NT/2000. Although knowledge of other voice messaging systems is useful, it is not required.
