Hunt Group and Voice Mail - How?
Hello,
We are setting up a Hunt Group (Line Group, Hunt List, Hunt Pilot) for call distribution. We don?t want to use the Attendant console for this, we just want the calls distributed. We need to send some calls and broadcast them to different phones. We have it working but we have a need that if no one answers to send the call to voicemail.
The way we have it configured right now?
Line Group:
Broadcast Distribution
2 Lines ? Client Phone Lines
Hunt List:
Line Group Above
Hunt Pilot:
Number & Information Configured
Hunt List Above
What we planned on doing was to take and add a second line group with a single number that is forwarded to voicemail. Then in the hunt list, if no one answers the fist group, go to the second. The problem is, CTI Ports and CTI Route Points don?t seem to be able to be added to the Line Group.
Someone suggested that I add a ?fake? phone and forward the line to voicemail. I tried that and when I call that number it goes to voicemail but when I add it to the Line Group it rings fast busy when it rolls to it.
Any ideas?
I did understand you do not want the attendant console, which is why I said similar but using AC.
The key thing in my earlier reply is that the last member of my hunt group is another CTI routepoint with another DN which is the actual directory number I use in Unity as an alternate extension, but it might be that this does not work for you.
For your case it might be something like:
On the xisting CTI routepoint configure the forward no answer to VM (this works today, correct?)
Then add another CTI route point to your hunt list and configure that CTI route point with forward all to VM.
Then setup Unity with the DN for the first CTI route point and add the DN of the second CTI route point as an alternate extension.
That way I believe it will go to VM directly when no huntgroup members are available, and go to VM if no answer.
Again, this works for me, with the only difference my line group contains AC users and is not broadcast, but the principle would be the same I guess.
But I might be misunderstanding what you are trying to achieve. If so, I am sorry for misunderstanding ;-)
Thanks,
Leo

Our Apple ID is ok and functioning. However, I just came on as the IT for the group and cannot find how to change the name.
Assuming you mean the personal name associated with the account, as opposed to the login (which you can change if it's not an @icloud.com. @me.com or @mac.com address) you can change this at http://appleid.appla.com . Click on 'Manage your account' and then on 'Edit' next to 'Your name' and the name currently associated with the ID.

Imagine this is (1) main hub with a Cisco CUBE 2900, 2 remote sites with Cisco 2911 CME-SRST. All connected via MPLS.
Goal:
If MPLS link or MPLS CE in remote site1 fails, I want to have *inbound* calls forwarded to the POTS line in the branch1.
VoIP Service provider does offer a feature which allow me to select target DIDs and have inbound calls forwarded to whichever number I specify.
Question:
Let's say there 20 people in the branch office1.
Can I setup a hunt group using Cisco 2911 CME and that single number which received the call start ringing the phone of all staff until we find someone to take call? Does CME and support hunt groups and this scenario?Yes, CME supports various types of hunt groups.
However to have more than one phone ring at once, the best is to use a shared DN. -
Was not sure if this was the right group to post these questions. I believe that these will be super easy for this group, and I want to double check my thinking against you guys. So, here they are.
If we elect to use a BROADCAST type of hunt group in some of our departments (all phones in the hunt group ring simultaneously when a call is directed to the group) and then direct that call to a DEPARTMENTAL VOICE MAIL BOX in a BNA condition:
1. Can the call ring with a unique ring that those in the hunt group can identify as different from a call that is directed specifically to their personal extension?
2. If the call to the hunt group ends up in the departmental HUNT GROUP VOICE MAIL BOX, will all phones in the hunt group receive notification that a message exists in the GROUP voice mail box?
3. If yes to 2 above, when any one individual in the group dials in to the group box and listens to the message, are all message waiting indicators subsequently turned off and does the person who responded to the message then become the owner of the message in his personal mail box?
Additional questions not related to hunt groups:
4. Do internal station to station calls ring with a special tone that differentiates them from external inbound calls?Brian,
1. There is not a distintive ring option in CM. You could create a 2nd line on your user's phones and add those lines to the hunt. From there the user can select a different ring for the line (this is a local phone option for ring).
2. Setup alternate MWI on the group vmail box. Alternate I believe has a limit of 9. If you have more users than that then create a DN on each of their phones with the same # of the voicemail box. If that number is the original vmail pilot that is a CTI or other device then you wont be able to do that but you could create another DN and use a translation and the Multiple Tenant MWI option in CM service. Reply back if you need more detail.
3. MWI is turned off. The message stays in the group mailbox, there is no forwarding unless the user manually forwards it.
4. Not by default and I don't believe you have that option but not totally sure.
Please rate any helpful posts
Thanks

Iphone 5s phone and voice mail issues
phone app keeps freezing and the voicemails i receive cannot be listened to as the play button is greyed out. I have just started this in the last week for no obvious reason.
I turn it off and on and I am on the latest software. It is a real pain as I have work calls coming through to this phone and I can't hear the message without dialling into my voicemail manually a la 1990.
Apart from reinstalling the phone software any suggestions? I have deleted all my old voicemails and deleted voicemail in case that helped but no change."Apart from re installing the phone software any suggestions?"
The guy asked this. When it comes to voice mail the only way to re-install the software is to do a restore.
Now this is where you maybe getting lost.
"If you're not wanting to do a restore try doing a two button reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button (power button) at the same time until the phone shuts off"
Now I am being smart and I'm done arguing with you on here.
I am right in what I was trying to get across.

Unity 4.0 - Call Forwarding and Voice Mail
Here is the situation:
We have a DN (5301) that is not associated with a Unity mailbox but is on a 7970 phone. This extension is an "on call" number that is always forwarded to a technicans phone (local 4 digit ext or cell phone).
When a person calls 5301 I want the voicemail of the final destination to answer.
For instance if I had 5301 forwarded to 2000 - I would want 2000's voicemail to answer.
Is there a way to set this up?
Thanks in advance.
JeffHi Jeff,
Sadly this cannot be changed until Unity 5.x (the ability to choose "Last Redirecting Number" in not available in any other Unity version);
Here are the Unity 5.0 release notes;
Route Forwarded Calls by the First or Last Redirecting Number
Cisco Unity supports the option of routing calls based on either the first or last redirecting number when a call is forwarded to Cisco Unity.
Note the following:
This option requires Cisco Unity-CM TSP 8.1(2) or later.
This option is not supported by integrations through PIMG units.
This option can be changed through the Advanced Settings Tool (AST), which is available in Tools Depot.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/5x/release/notes/501curelnotes.html#wp507371
Call Information Exchanged by the Phone System and Cisco Unity
The phone system and Cisco Unity exchange call information to manage calls and to make the integration features possible. With each call, the following call information is typically passed between the phone system and Cisco Unity:
â¢The extension of the called party.
â¢The extension of the calling party (for internal calls) or the phone number of the calling party (if it is an external call and the phone system supports caller ID).
â¢The reason for the forward (the extension is busy, does not answer, or is set to forward all calls). There is also a reason code for Direct Calls.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager SCCP and SIP trunk integrations can also provide the following call information (the choice of first and last redirecting number is set in the Advanced Settings Tool, which is available in Tools Depot):
â¢Called number
â¢First redirecting number
â¢Last redirecting number
Note Cisco Unity can use either the first redirecting number or last redirecting number, depending on the setting in the Advanced Settings Tool, which is available in Tools Depot.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/5x/design/guide/5xcudg060.html#wp1040786
If this was just a one-up type of setup you can configure a Voicemail profile (in CCM) for 2000 and apply it to 5301 that will allow this type of Call Forward to 2000's mailbox. The fact that you need this for Multiple Tech's will not work. Is there any way the Techs could use a Shared Line? Then these solutions could be adapoted.
Or in Unity set up Alternate Extensions so that User A is an Alternate Extension for User B etc. Sharing a Cisco Unity Voice Mail Box between Two or More IP Phones
Configure Alternate Extensions
Open the Unity System Administrator web page.
Navigate to the subscriber's profile. Select Subscribers > Find and Select a Subscriber > Enter Subscriber Information then click Find and click the Subscriber's name for the subscriber that owns the primary phone (2000).
When the subscriber page comes up, select the Alternate Extensions option and click Add.
Enter the alternate extension number (in this case 5301) and click the Save icon.
From this good Unity doc;

I have to hold my finger on whatever I want to use to "highlight" it and then double tap it to get it to open. When this happened it also won't allow me to scroll down or up any more. This also applies to my kindle app. I can't turn the pages anymore.
As if this weren't frustrating enough a day later Siri now tells me EVERYTHING that comes up on the screen like I'm a blind person. How the **** do I get these things off? I tried asking Siri a bunch of different ways to disable but I don't know the correct wording.You turned VoiceOver on.

Finesse and broadcast hunt groups
Hi,
We have Cisco CCE with Finesse agent desktop. One of our ICM routing scripts is configured to send the call to a telephony hunt group label if no agents are available in Ready state.
The hunt group is a bradcast hunt group and all agent phones receive alert when a call to the hunt group label is placed. However when the call is ringing in Finesse, the caller ID actually lists all members of the hunt group. I can easily see that in the "Participants" XML tags on the Finesse server where multiple participants are listed.
Another problem is that when I answer the call from one Finesse agent desktop, all the other Finesse desktops show the same call as active on their screens with the option to End the call.
I know it is not a standard setup but we have a requirement to fall-back to telephony hunt groups if all agents are busy but an emergency call comes through.
Any suggestions how to fix this behavior?
Thanks!I just checked this behaviour in My lab and it just works fine, you might be hitting some bug.
also what instead of broadcast, you use some other hunting mechanism. like longest idle or circular?
regards

We are running CUCM v9 and are trying to set up the following configuration:
A heldesk hunt group which every phone in the company can log in and out of as they need
When a call comes into the helpdesk hunt group and is not answered for 20 seconds the call gets diverted to ALL phones in the company as a fallback from helpdeskThis call to ALL other phones cannot be a shared DN
Any ideas on how I can implement this? I've been racking my brain for hours. I first though of two separate hunt groups but realised that you can't log in and out of individual hunt groups, its either all or nothing. Then I was thinking group pickup??
ThanksCreate hunt pilot, point to new hunt group, in the hunt group point to 2 new line groups, where line group one points to all phones in longest idle or top down fashion, and the second is defined as broadcast.
On the hunt pilot setup call forwarding to the desired destination and setup the hunt timer as desired.

We are evaluating moving from an Avaya 8710 based enterprise PBX to a Cisco PBX. A sticking point we have come accross is how to do basic phone features supported by the Avaya system. A major one is the ability to queue calls in a hunt group. We have sites that have up to 3 or 4 hunt groups and if a call comes in and all members in the hunt group are not available then the call goes to Music on hold until the call can be picked up by the next available in the hunt group.
Is this really a limitation in Call Manager 5.x, 6.x or CME 4.3?To answer your question about IPCC express, I know it used to be free with CallManager 4.x, not sure with 5.x and came with 5 licenses. But with IPCCx, you can do just about anything you want when it comes to queing, onhold, music, transfers, etc.
But from looking at the doc I sent you:
Understanding Call Queuing
You can configure a pilot point to support call queuing, so when a call comes to pilot point and all hunt groups members are busy, Cisco CallManager Attendant Console sends calls to a queue. While in the queue, the callers receive music on hold if you have chosen an audio source from the Network Hold Audio Source and the User Hold MOH Audio Source drop-down list boxes in the Device Pool window or the Pilot Point Configuration window. The attendants cannot view the queued calls. When a hunt group member becomes available, Cisco CallManager Attendant Console redirects the call to that hunt group member.
You enable queuing for a pilot point by checking the Queuing Enabled check box on the Pilot Point Configuration window. You must also enter a value in the Queue Size field and the Hold Time (in Seconds) field. The queue size specifies the number of calls that are allowed in the queue. If the queue is full, Cisco CallManager Attendant Console routes calls to the "always route" hunt group member that is specified on the Hunt Group Configuration window. If you do not specify an always route member, Cisco CallManager Attendant Console drops the call when the queue size limit is reached. The hold time specifies the maximum time (in seconds) that Cisco CallManager Attendant Console keeps a call in the queue. If the call is in the queue for longer than the "HoldTime," the call gets redirected to "AlwaysRoute" member. If the "AlwaysRoute" member is not configured, no action occurs.
This is saying that the CCM Attendant Console will take care of what you need. It's basically a big queing machine. You dont have to have a live person answer to start the que from what it looks like, just point the calls to the pilot number and let the server take control of the ques.
You can do this one ccm cluster, or hub and spoke in your case. Just remember, that if you are queing calls, you are tying up WAN bandwidth the more you que. But it may work out ok, depending on how much bandwidth you have.
You can get MOH streams off your local router at the remote site, so you are not streaming MOH over the WAN, so that should take care of itself.
Unity can act as a poor man's que. Basically you can have ccm hunt the groups, no one answer, go to Unity voicemail, play a message, transfer back to the hunt group, hunt the group, then possibly back to Unity to play a message, then take a message. (just using a different mailbox and a different pilot number)
Sometimes you have to get creative with these products to make them do what you want them to do. Out of the box, it's not always the exact feature you need, but you have to tweak it.
Most companies that use hunt groups, understand that they are basica in CCM until you port it to IPCC Express. Unity does do menu trees very well, multilevel voicemail, multiply extesnsions to one account, etc.
My best advice for you, get together with your local Cisco SE to go over the features you require and see how it can be done.
cheers!
