[cisco-voip] unity connection zero out

[Dana Tong]

FYI,

I used to do this by using Call Handlers with Transfer rules.

ie in the old days use the bulk admin tool to update all users with extensions between 2400 and 2499 to update Caller input of “0” to use a Call handler called “Transfer to operator – site x”.

You should be able to add Call Handlers manually and test that they transfer, and then use the Bulk edit function in Unity Connection to export/ update users by CSV.

Cheers
Dana

That was another thought I had...very briefly.  I shied away mostly because I have no means to test the scenario.

This doesn’t sound like something possible from a Unity Connection side.  Pretty cool scenario though.  We can route next hop by ANI on the CUCM side though so could potentially do it there with a translation pattern for each site.  I’ll try that out on my lab box.

Sorry, I misread... You want to reach _your_ local operator when you zero out, not the local operator of the called party.

Because it's the voice mail ports doing the transfer for you, you're right, it's a difficult thing to work out.

It's a bit more convoluted than that.  Plus, we have too many sites aross the different clusters to be able to make a tiered call handler scenario without it becoming an administratoive headache - not to mention the users would complain about the number of button presses.


User A is from Brussels and they reach the voicemail of User B in Paris.  User A presses zero and transfers to the Brussels operator.  User C is in London, gets the voicemail of user B in Paris, presses zero and transfers to the London operator.

This becomes a bit more 'interesting' as we add in callers on other clusters and PSTN callers.

It's essentially ANI based routing in Unity.  I'm hoping someone can pop on from Cisco and tell me that this idea is madness and leave it at that.

The zero out in Unity Connection is governed by "caller input" configurations on the user's mailbox. You can also configure it so that they can modify this (or other caller input entries, e.g. 7 or 8 or 9, etc) themselves.

We set up translations for each of our local operator destinations (using an easy to remember numbering system) and use these as the targets via bulk administration and templates. We also advertise those numbers because people want to reach remote operators at times.

The only one we didn't change is the HQ, people can enter 0 there and it will go to HQ switchboard (which is a speech enabled auto attendant).

So, in a nutshell, yes, it's possible. If I understand what you're asking.

I'm not sure it can be done either.  UConn isn't a sophisticated call routing system and the CSS you can assign is baased on the called mailbox, call handler, etc. not the calling party.

I'm trying to head off a situation where management demands something that was told to them incorrectly.

The only way I can think of doing it would be to send 0 back to CUCM to a CCX script to determine calling and called number and route it that way.

So you want the internal callers to dynamically route to their own
local operator as opposed to the operator at the recipients site?
Interesting question. I don't have an answer for that scenario but
would be surprised if that's possible.
