[cisco-voip] Unity AA

[Wes Sisk]

Jesse,

CM AA should work fine so long as user DNs are 4 digitits in CM.

The free AA (included with EServices) is limited to 4 concurrent calls (4
cti ports) but can be licensed to as many as you want.  Or you can have
multiple EServices installs on separate servers.

Thanks for the input Wes.

Nope, just a one unity server.

I'll look into the CM aa route - I think this would work... For some reason,
I thought this was limited to 5 aa's tho...

HI Jesse,  my Unity guy says:

Depends, do you have multiple Unity servers?

yes - might be able to hack something with Unity digital networking

No - You cannot do it.

Another way possible would be use alt. extensions but you mentioned that
would cuase an overlap in the DN's so basically no.

My DN's are all in one partition called internal_pt, we use a 7 digit DN
derived from a location number (we have 20 locations).

Within a location, users can dial the 4 digit extension - doing it with a
translation pattern in CM, into the location_pt.

Situation - Called dials 800 and is prompted to dial a 7 digit extension -
I'm getting complaints about the length of the ext number, Would love to
have them dial the location 4 digits......

With unity, I don't see a way to have an auto attendant use 4 digit ext,
naturally unity needs a unique ext, 7 digits in my case. I can't go to 4
digits because of the gross amount of overlaps I would have.

I guess my my question, is there a way to partition a unity AA to accept 4
digits, and prefix it? Probably not...

I haven't looked at the call manager Auto Attendant, but I'm assuming I
would be able to use this if a called wanted to dial an 800 number, get the
prompt to enter the persons 4 digit ext, than transfer out.... Not sure of
licensing and other charges with that..

I am currently on Unity 3.1(3), upgrading shortly to 4.x, not sure if the
capability exists in the newer version or not..

Am I making any sense?

Thanks.

Jesse
