[cisco-voip] Unity Connection Call handlers transerring to ahunt group

Wed Nov 11 11:50:36 EST 2009

Hi John,

Ok that worked, however I needed to set the "attempt transfer" instead
of "direct to greetings" for the handler handing off to it.  I'm still
not sure it's 100% though.  I tried to do a supervised transfer in case
the extn/huntgroup was busy and set it to put the user on hold.  I hear
hold music for less than a second then I'm prompted that the extn is
unavailable and asked to leave a message.  I've no idea where this
message is going or where it's set to take a message because everything
I've looked though is not set to take a message.

Any idea?

Thanks again,

Neil

Try setting the TransferToSales call handler like this:

Standard-

Yes, ring this extension 3586  (if your extensions are define as
xxx3586, you should put xxx3586)

Check Do not play "Wait..."

Release to switch

Then go in and make the others transfer rules the same (Alternate and
Closed) and enable them.

If I remember correctly, I had some of the same weirdness until I set
all transfer rules the same and enabled them.

Hi Guys,

OK So I'm getting somewhere with this, I just don't know where.
Confused.com!

The way I understand it is:

1)  Define my Originating call handler - "Thank you for calling....."

2)  Define the second call handler that the originating one hands off to
- "Press 1 for sales......."

3)  I press one for sales and what I want to happen is that it goes to
the sales hunt group 3586.

4)  So I define another handler called TransferToSales and send the
caller input for "1" in the second handler to go to the TransferToSales
handler.  I set the transfer options in this handler, under the standard
option to transfer to extn 3586.  The way I have interpreted the
transfer options is that if it's set to greeting, it will transfer to
the greeting of that handler.  If it's set to extension, it will skip
the greetings associated with that handler and immediately try the
configured extn.

I'm getting a lot of different conflicting results for the
TransferToSales handler in that it won't transfer directly to the extn.
Changing the settings in the standard greetings for this handler seems
to affect what happens, so my theory of it skipping the handler
greetings when the transfer options are set to extension must be wrong??

An absolute mess of an email but I hope you can follow!!

Thanks again for your help,

Neil

That sounds like the transfer is going to the system greeting.

Sometimes it helps to watch the call flow through the (remote) port

status monitor, to spot where things go wrong.

A couple of reasons this would happen:

1. On the originating call handler where you configured the caller

input, you selected 'go directly to greeting' instead of 'attempt

transfer'

2. On the dummy call handler, make sure you are configuring the

correct transfer rule - if active, the alternate and closed rules will

take priority over the standard. Whichever rule is active, ensure it

is configured to send to Extension and not Greeting.

3. You configured UC correctly and the transfer is actually attempted

but fails due to CSS problem on CUCM - check the CSS of ports (skinny)

or the Rerouting CSS (SIP) and ensure it includes the partition of the

DN you are trying to transfer to.

Finally, an alternate configuration on UC 7.1(2)ish and later is,

under caller input on the originating call handler, select call action

"Transfer to alternate contact number" and enter the extension you

wish to transfer to. This eliminates the need for the dummy call

handler/user, but can only be done as a release/blind transfer (no

supervised option).
