[cisco-voip] Unity Digital Networking (can it handle overlap?)

[Rasim Duric]

Hi Pat,

In the Cisco Unity Deployment and Solutions Guide, page 424: "As like a
subscriber's primary extension, all alternate extensions are replicated
throughout the entire Digital Network".

I tested it out on my site and an alternate extension I created on one
server replicated to another server as well. So, I don't think alternate
extensions are only locally significant.

Am I missing something?

Alternate extensions are only locally significant, they aren't 
replicated out through digital networking. So, you'd be fine if 
everything was on a single Unity server, but otherwise, it won't work.

Switching everyone (in Unity) to 10 digit extensions will definitely 
help. You shouldn't/can't have overlapping extensions in the same 
dialing domain.

Another possible option is using the location prefix, but making it 
whatever the site code or area code is, and having the users use those 
numbers instead. It really accomplishes the same thing as switching to 
10 digit and using the voicemail profile masks, just a different way to 
get there, so, either way :-)
