[cisco-voip] Cisco call handlers

Thanks,
 
I currently have a CTI route point which I use for the attendant console used by the receptionist. Creating another CTI point won't create a confusion with the attendant console?

How it work now is when user call the main number, it route the call to the attandant console user. should the call then pass the call handler before been routed to the attandant console? or how will it work this time? also remeber that the call handler will only be active afterhours and holidays and just request the users to leave voice messages and also inform users of trading hours.
 
Please be patient as I not experienced with Cisco VOIP

You can't take a message directly to a call handler.  You have to have it taken by a pdl, or a subscriber.
 
But getting the calls to the call handler is pretty easy.  Assign it a DID.  GIve it that extension (where it says optional).  Create a cti port, or cti route point or a dummy phone and forward all to voicemail.

Hi,
?
I need help setting up call handler. I have created a call handler and I need calls coming from outside to be directed to this call handler and record messages (this will take messages only afterhours). How do I go about that? How do I get calls routed to the call handler?

You are a little vague, do you want calls to go to an "operator"
during the day and to the call handler at night? If so, simply give
the call handler the extension of the operator phone. Then have the
operator forward all to voicemail after hours or you can set the phone
to forward no answer to voicemail. There is a STANDARD and a CLOSED
option on the call handler, build them accordingly.

Hi Mohit,

Do you think this will work even though these are SCCP controlled ports? I
thought of that too but we're not running in H.323 mode so I was hesitant..
I didn't want to break the line's registration with callmanager.

Yes, that is a good idea.  Also with version 7 you can implemenet CSS and partitions inside Unity.  That way if you wanted to logically separate all users you can.  Also one nice feature is that you can assign those CSSs to Call Handlers.  So if you have overlap or some other reason why you needed to separate the searching of call routing you can do that.

Alternate extensions also support partitions.

Thanks again Christopher. This looks good. It's interesting to see how they
might give you free VPIM across platforms but charge you for inter platform..
We'll have to evaluate if VPIM is worth it though.

I'm also considering the clustering option. Like I said, we have two
seperate servers right now for two fairly distinct user groups, i.e. student
vs. staff. By buying the high availability software we could combine the two
and cluster them.

If you are going with all Unity Connections you can use digital networking
and stuff should just work.  You will have to join them to each other's
"connection network".

I know VPIM between Unity - Unity Connection and Unity - CUE is free but
between UC and UC there is probably a license cost.  List price of VPIM is
$8,500 and you would need at least two of those.  When you have VPIM
licensed, you can create as many VPIM subscribers as you like.

Thanks Christopher....I've added some additional comments for clarification..
 1.. OK - I guess we don't have internet subscribers.
 2.. I read that document after I posted and saw that page and the
following paragraph. Let's hope this means I can enable a call handler
greeting and allow users to enter an extension that is not associate with a
user and have them transferred to that number. While it seems like that's
what it means, I've been surprised before. I'm hoping it's not the first
step and it requires additional keystrokes from the user. I want a user to
hear a call handler greeting and enter the extension of the coffee room the
same way they would enter a regular extension.
   a.. To Configure an Individual Greeting to Allow System Transfers
   Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, go to the Greetings
page for the applicable user, user template, call handler, or call handler
template.
   Step 2 Select the applicable greeting.
   Step 3 On the Edit Greeting page, check the Allow Transfers to Numbers
Not Associated with Users or Call Handlers check box.
   Step 4 Click Save.

 3.. We are looking at deploying multiple Unity Connection servers. We
currently have three Unity servers, we would likely migrate them all to
Unity Connection. I'm hoping digital network would allow two seperate unity
connection servers to communicate with each other. One server is analog
integration, so we might leave that as is and get VPIM networking working
with that one.

 4.. It might be of administrative benefit to do this rather than having to
remember which call handlers to replicate. Is there a cost to VPIM
subscribers? We have quite a number of leftover voicemail subscribers - can
I just use one of these licences or do I have to buy VPIM licences?

A. I don't see anywhere to create an internet subscriber

B. Depending on how you set up permissions and transfer rules you can do
this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/administration/guide/7xcucsag115.html

C. Connection supports VPIM and Digital Networking, no AMIS.  I think
Digital Networking only works between two UC clusters.  So if you have Unity
and you want to migrate to Unity Connection you would need to use VPIM.
Then if that was the case you would have to create those subscribers as VPIM
subscribers so they could be reference between the boxes.

D.  If you wanted to have a call handler on one box to reference subscribers
on another you would again have to create those subscribers as VPIM
subscribers.

now that unity connection 7.0(1) is out of the bag (well, documentation at
least)...i'm hoping anyone out there who was involved in the early field
trials (or Cisco staff in the know) might be able to answer a few questions:
 a.. does it have Internet Subscribers?
 b.. does it have integrated system transfer, that is, will it
automatically forward a call to an extension that isn't a user or call
handler?
 c.. does it offer "networking" like Unity does? we have two voicemail
servers we would like networked similar to what they have now?
 d.. if so, are call handlers exported across this network? this is why we
chose internet subscribers, they were replicated in the directory
