Configuring System Engine Parameters

Use this procedure to configure parameters that are used across all systems and subsystems in Cisco Unity Express. This set of parameters affects the underlying software programs, or engine, that comprise Cisco Unity Express.

Only the parameter maxsteps is available. A script uses this value to limit the number of steps that can execute for an application script. For example, if a script has an error such that a customer is returned to the same menu choice in an infinite loop, the system stops the loop when the maxstep value is reached. Similarly, if a script has procedures with nested steps that exceed the maxstep value when the script executes, the system stops the script. When this happens, the caller hears a system message that the system is not available.


Note Script steps are described in detail in the Cisco Unity Express Script Editor Guide.

Configuring Multiple Triggers for an Application

Your network may require additional triggers for one or more Cisco Unity Express applications. For example, customers may be able to dial more than one telephone number to contact your company. These telephone numbers would activate the auto-attendant application.

Use this procedure to configure the additional triggers. The trigger must match a dial peer configured on Cisco CME. If you configure a trigger on Cisco Unity Express, verify that the dial peer exists in Cisco CME.

Cisco Unity Express supports a maximum of 8 triggers for all applications combined. This applies to both the NM and the AIM.

Port Sharing Among Multiple Triggers

Each trigger is assigned a maxsessions value. In addition to the guidelines described in "Port Sharing Among Multiple Triggers", one other consideration is needed.

The maximum number of callers that can access an application concurrently is determined by the application's maxsession value if the total maxsessions values from all its triggers exceeds the application's maxsessions value.

For example, suppose your module has 8 ports and you assigned the auto-attendant application a maxsessions value of 5. Your auto-attendant application has 2 triggers. You configure one trigger with a maxsessions value of 2 and the other trigger with a maxsessions value of 4. The maximum number of callers that can access the auto-attendant application simultaneously is 5, not 6.

Suppose, instead, that you configure one trigger with a maxsessions value of 2 and the other trigger with a maxsessions value of 2. The maximum number of simultaneous callers to the application is 4, not 5.

Prerequisites

The following information is required to configure the triggers:

Telephone number that invokes the application. The number must not be the same for voice-mail, auto-attendant, and the greeting management system.

Number of milliseconds that the system must wait for a caller response before it times out and drops the call.

Language to use for the prompts. Cisco Unity Express supports only one language installed on the system. This option cannot be changed.

Maximum number of callers, or sessions, that the application can handle simultaneously. The total for all applications must not exceed the maximum number of ports for the system. (See Table 2 on page 15 or Table 4 on page 16 for the maximum number of ports.) The applications need not have the same maximum number; for example, voice mail might need three sessions, while auto attendant needs five sessions.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. config t

2. ccn trigger sip phonenumber number

3. application string

4. default parameter

5. idletimeout time

6. locale language

7. maxsessions number

8. no parameter

9. enabled

10. end

11. Repeat Step 2 to Step 10 to configure additional triggers for this application.

12. exit

13. show ccn trigger

14. copy running-config startup-config

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1 

config t

Example:

se-10-0-0-0# config t

Enters configuration mode.

Step 2 

ccn trigger sip phonenumber number

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config)# ccn trigger sip phonenumber 50150

se-10-0-0-0(config)# ccn trigger sip phonenumber 50160

Specifies the telephone number that acts as the trigger to start the application and enters trigger configuration mode. The number value must match a dial peer configured on Cisco CME.

Step 3 

application string

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# application myapplication

Specifies the name of the application to start when the telephone number is dialed, which, in turn, invokes the appropriate application script. This application name must match the name that was configured with the ccn application name command.

Step 4 

default parameter

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# default idletimeout

(Optional) Resets the application parameter to the script-defined default value. Using the default command on Cisco Unity Express system parameters has the following effects:

default application—No effect.

default enabled—Enables the application.

default idletimeout—Uses 5000 (5 seconds).

default locale—Uses the system default.

default maxsessions—Uses the number of ports on your Cisco Unity Express module. See Table 2 on page 15 or Table 4 on page 16 for the maximum number of ports.

Step 5 

idletimeout time

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# idletimeout 500

Specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for a caller's response before timing out and disconnecting the call.

Step 6 

locale language

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# locale en_US

Specifies the language to use for the prompts heard by the caller. Cisco Unity Express supports only one language installed on the system. This option cannot be changed.

Step 7 

maxsessions number

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# maxsessions 3

Specifies the maximum number of callers the application can handle simultaneously. See "Port Sharing Among Multiple Triggers" for guidelines on assigning this value.

Step 8 

no parameter

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# no maxsessions

(Optional) Deletes or disables the parameter value. Using the no command on Cisco Unity Express system parameters has the following effects:

no application—No effect.

no enabled—Disables the application.

no idletimeout—No effect.

no locale—Uses the system default.

no maxsessions—Sets the value to 0.

Step 9 

enabled

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# enabled

Enables the trigger.

Step 10 

end

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# end

Exits trigger configuration mode.

Step 11 

Repeat Step 2 to Step 10 to configure additional triggers for this application.

Step 12 

exit

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config)# exit

Exits configuration mode.

Step 13 

show ccn trigger

Example:

se-10-0-0-0# show ccn trigger

Displays the parameter values for all configured triggers.

Step 14 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

se-10-0-0-0# copy running-config startup-config

Copies the configuration changes to the startup configuration.

Examples

The following sample configuration sets two triggers for the voice-mail application:

se-10-0-0-0# config t

se-10-0-0-0(config)# ccn trigger sip phonenumber 50150

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# application voicemail

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# idletimeout 500

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# maxsessions 4

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# enabled

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# end
se-10-0-0-0(config)#

se-10-0-0-0(config)# ccn trigger sip phonenumber 50160

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# application voicemail

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# idletimeout 1000

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# maxsessions 8

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# enabled

se-10-0-0-0(config-trigger)# end
se-10-0-0-0(config)# exit

0.0.0.0 10.100.6.9 0.0.0.0 eth1
se-10-0-0-0#

Configuring NTP Servers

You can configure Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers using the GUI options, the CLI commands, or during the software postinstallation process. Cisco Unity Express accepts a maximum of three NTP servers. Use this procedure to add or delete NTP servers.

Adding NTP Servers

You can designate an NTP server using its IP address or its hostname.

If you use an IP address, you must always refer to the NTP server by that IP address. You cannot use a hostname to refer to that NTP server.

If you use a hostname, you must always refer to the NTP server by that hostname. You cannot use an IP address to refer to that NTP server.

Cisco Unity Express uses the DNS server to resolve the hostname to an IP address and stores the IP address as an NTP server. If DNS resolves the hostname to more than one IP address, Cisco Unity Express randomly chooses one of the IP addresses that is not already designated as an NTP server.

To configure an NTP server with multiple IP addresses for a hostname, repeat the configuration steps using the same hostname. Each iteration assigns the NTP server to its remaining IP addresses.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. config t

2. ntp server {hostname | ip-address} [prefer]

3. exit

4. show ntp status

5. show ntp configuration

6. copy running-config startup-config

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1 

config t

Example:

se-10-0-0-0# config t

Enters configuration mode.

Step 2 

ntp server {hostname | ip_address} [prefer]

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config)# ntp server 10.0.3.4

se-10-0-0-0(config)# ntp server 10.0.10.20 prefer

Specifies the name or IP address of the NTP server.

If more than one server is configured, the server with the prefer attribute is used before the others.

Step 3 

exit

Example:

se-10-0-0-0(config)# exit

Exits configuration mode.

Step 4 

show ntp status

Example:

se-10-0-0-0# show ntp status

Displays the NTP subsystem status.

Step 5 

show ntp configuration

Example:

se-10-0-0-0# show ntp configuration

Displays the configured NTP servers.

Step 6 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

se-10-0-0-0# copy running-config startup-config

Copies the configuration changes to the startup configuration.

Examples

The following commands configure the NTP server:

se-10-0-0-0# config t
se-10-0-0-0(config)# ntp server 10.100.6.9
se-10-0-0-0(config)# exit
se-10-0-0-0#

The output from the show ntp status command might look similar to the following:

se-10-0-0-0# show ntp status

NTP reference server 1: 10.100.6.9
Status: sys.peer
Time difference (secs): 3.268110099434328E8
Time jitter (secs): 0.1719226837158203
se-10-0-0-0#

The following example configures an NTP server with a hostname that points to two IP addresses 172.16.10.1 and 172.16.10.2:

se-10-0-0-0# config t
se-10-0-0-0(config)# ntp server NTP.mine.com
se-10-0-0-0(config)# exit
se-10-0-0-0#
se-10-0-0-0# config t
se-10-0-0-0(config)# ntp server NTP.mine.com
se-10-0-0-0(config)# exit
se-10-0-0-0#

The output from the show ntp status command might look similar to the following:

se-10-0-0-0# show ntp status

NTP reference server 1: 172.16.10.1
Status: sys.peer
Time difference (secs): 3.268110099434328E8
Time jitter (secs): 0.1719226837158203

NTP reference server 1: 172.16.10.2
Status: sys.peer
Time difference (secs): 3.268110099434328E8
Time jitter (secs): 0.1719226837158203
se-10-0-0-0#

Removing an NTP Server

Remove an NTP server using its IP address or hostname.

If the NTP server was configured using its IP address, use that IP address to remove the server. You cannot remove the server with its hostname.

If the NTP server was configured using its hostname, use that hostname to remove the server. You cannot remove the server with an IP address.

If the NTP server hostname is associated with more than one IP address, you cannot specify which IP address to remove. Cisco Unity Express deletes the IP address based on a response from the DNS server and cannot guarantee which configured NTP server IP address is deleted.

If you need to remove the NTP server with a specific IP address, repeat the removal steps enough times to delete all the NTP servers, update the DNS server with the correct IP address information, and then add the NTP server enough times to assign the NTP server to its appropriate number of IP addresses.

show ntp associations

show ntp server

show ntp source

Configuring an External Syslog Server

Cisco Unity Express captures messages that describe activities in the system. Use CLI commands to display the messages; viewing the messages is not available from the GUI.

The activities are categorized into four different levels of severity with regard to their impact on the system's functioning:

Information—The message describes normal system activity, including debug, information, and notice messages.

Warning—The message is an alert that a non-normal activity is occurring. The Cisco Unity Express system continues to function.

Error—The message indicates that a system error has occurred. The Cisco Unity Express system may or may not have stopped functioning.

Fatal—The message describes a critical, alert, or emergency situation with the system. The Cisco Unity Express system has stopped functioning.

These messages are collected and directed to three possible destinations:

Messages.log file—This option is the default. The file contains all system messages and resides on the Cisco Unity Express module hard disk in /var/log/messages.log. You can print the messages, view them on the console, or copy them to a server to review for troubleshooting and error reporting.

Console—Display the messages.log file using the show log name messages.log command. View the system messages as they occur with the log console info command.

External system log (syslog) server—Cisco Unity Express copies the messages to another server and collects them in a file on that server's hard disk. The syslog daemon configuration on the external server determines which directory will save the messages log.

The external server must be configured to listen for UDP on port 514 from the IP address of the Cisco Unity Express module.

Prerequisites

You need the hostname or IP address of the designated log server.
