Before You Begin Installing

Before you begin to install Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services, check that you have met the system requirements and that you have information needed for installation at hand. See the following sections:

Understanding the Role of Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services in the Cisco IP Telephony Network

Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services interact with many elements in your IP telephony network. Some network elements need to be informed of Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services presence; other elements only interact indirectly with Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services and do not require such information. Have a fully-functional voice-over-IP network in place before installing Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services in your telephony network.

Figure 2-1 shows the Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services connection to the IP telephony network:

To configure CalendarView, perform the following procedures, where appropriate for your system type:

Configuring Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 for CalendarView

If you are using a non-Cisco Unity Microsoft Exchange 2000 server for CalendarView, you require privileges to access all the users' accounts. You do not have to perform this procedure for Exchange 5.5 servers.

Step 5   Click on Primary Windows NT Account and check the option Select an existing account.

Step 6   Click OK.



Changing the Administrator Account to the Service Account

If you are using a non-Cisco Unity Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server on an NT system for CalendarView and if the administrator account is not the service account, you must make the following change in the setup for Cisco IP Phone Productivity Services.

To make the administrator account the service account, perform the following procedure:

Procedure

Step 1   Select Start > Programs / Administrative Tools / Internet Services Manager to open the Internet Information Service form.

Step 2   Select Cisco PPS under Default Web Services.

Step 11   Select the Logon tab.

Step 12   Change the account user and password to service account user (run as domainName/ServiceAccountID and password.)

Step 13   Start the Cisco Meeting Reminder service.

You have changed the administrator account to the service account.



Configuring Outlook for CalendarView

Step 3   Click Show Profiles.

Step 4   Click on Add. Select the Microsoft Exchange Server.

Step 5   Enter the Microsoft Exchange Server name and Mailbox as:

administrator

Step 6   Click on Finish.



Configuring MailView for Cisco Unity E-mail

Perform the following two procedures to enable MailView for Cisco Unity e-mail:

Configuring the Microsoft Exchange Server for Cisco Unity E-mail

To set up the Message Format on the Microsoft Exchange server used for Cisco Unity to enable users to view their e-mails, perform the following steps:

Procedure

Step 1   Select Start > Programs / Microsoft Exchange / System Manager to open the Exchange System Manager Window.

Step 2   On the Exchange Server Manager form, under <your-organization>, select Servers.

The Default IMAP4 Virtual Server Properties form displays.

Step 5   In the MIME encoding section, select Both and click OK to close the form.



Adding an E-mail Alias for Cisco Unity E-mail

You must set e-mail IDs for each Cisco Unity user to match the Microsoft Exchange server e-mail IDs.You must add an e-mail alias for each mail recipient of the form userid@domain name of type "voice." See Figure 2-2.

This enables the Cisco Unity server to recognize that MailView replies and forwards are voice mail. It also allows users to receive MailView replies and forwards of "voice" type.
