Unity Connection 9.1 - System Call Handler Question

Hi,
I would like to use Unity Conncetion 9.1 to transfer calls to different extensions depending on the time of day:
For example; between 07.00 and 19.00, do not play a greeting and transfer to an extension (no mailbox), outside of the times above, again do not play a greeting and transfer to a different extension.
I have configured a CTI RP and set the extension to forward all to VM. The system call handler has an active schedule of 07.00-19.00 and has a standard transfer rule set up to transfer the calls to the relevant extension. I have also configured a closed transfer rule to transfer the call to the alternative extension after 19.00. The issue I have is that when dial the original extension I get the standard greeting. How do i get Unity to transfer the call without playing the greeting?
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,
You need to:
1) enable the closed greeting
2) set the standard and closed greetings to "callers hear nothing"
3) in the standard and closed greetings, after the greeting, set it to call handler, select the same call handler, and set it to attempt transfer.
4) make sure the standard and closed transfer rules are enabled, set the respective extensions to transfer to, set them to release to switch, and uncheck "Play the 'Wait While I Transfer Your Call' Prompt" for both of them.

  • Unity Connection 8.5.1 Call Handler

    Hi
    I have a customer running CUCM-BE 8.5.1 with CUC. They have two users that will end up using one phone. When people call this extension, they want the caller to get prompted with something like, Press 1 to leave a message for User A, press 2 to leave a message for User B.
    I'm not entirely sure if this is possible, and if not I may recommend we do an extension mobility for these two users.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks a lot

    Thanks for the reply. I'm doing a little digging into their call manager, and it looks like these users all have cti ports with their own extensions. Their UCM user account is in caller input, which already has three users in it, so i can only assume it's working the way they want to already. I just have to edit the users in the caller input.

  • Restore default greeting for system call handler

    Unity Connection 8.0.3
    There is a default system call handler called "Opening Greeting".  A while ago I changed the greeting for that call handler without first saving a copy of the default greeting, and now I want to revert it to the default.  How can I do that?
    I think the default greeting said, "Hello, Cisco Unity Connection messaging system.  From a touch tone telephone you may dial an extension at any time.  For a directory of extensions press 4, otherwise, please hold to leave a general message".

    Thanks.  Unity Conn won't let me disable the standard greeting, but I can change it to "Callers Hear: System Default Greeting" instead of "My Personal Recording" which I have it set to now.  I assume that's what you meant.  Yes, I did try that, but then I hear, "sorry opening greeting is not available", so that's no good.

  • Hunt Group to System Call Handler

    Hello Everyone,
    Here's my problem, I manage the phones for two companies with two different phone schemes.
    One company is fine but the other one is one I'm having trouble with,
    When someone calls from the outside, it goes to a hunt group from the hunt group, they are to be forwarded to a System Call Handler with an extension.
    The number forwards just fine but Unity Connection doesn't pick up the call it just keeps ringing. Is there anyway to track the call flow to see what extension is being dialed from the hunt group?
    Versions of the Unity / CCM are 7.x and 7.x
    Thanks in advance
    -Kyle S.

    Hi Kyle,
    If you look on the Hunt Pilot page under the Forward settings you should see where the
    call is supposed to Forward to. I would try this Tool from the great suite of Unity Tools to have a look
    at the call flow if it is hitting Unity Connection;

  • Multiple Holiday Greetings in System Call Handler for UC 7.0

    Hi All,
    Is there any way to play individual Holiday Greetings in a System Call Handler in UC 7.0, i.e. XMas Day Greeting gets played on XMas Day and New Year's Greeting gets played on New Year
    As far as Cisco's Doc's I havent seen anywhere this being specified.
    Any helpful would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Sam Wilson

    Hi David,
    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    So does it mean I have to record the greetings before every holiday and set it, or there is a way, to fall it over to a different Call Handler each with unique Holiday Greetings.
    Regards

  • How can I change the default message after System Call Handler transfer error?

    Hi,
    I'm using Unity Connection 9.1 and System Call Handlers to allow to join internal extensions (not reachable from the PSTN).
    I succeeded but I would like to change the default message played when the extension dialed is not known. I tried with Error greetings but nothing changed.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Julien

    Just tried this on my 9.1 and 10.0(1) servers and it worked fine.
    I went to the opening greeting call handler, selected the "error" greeting, set the greeting to play my personal greeting (it defaults to the system generated greeting), recording "hey, you dialed the wrong number" and then called in and during the opening greeting I dialed "88" - I heard "hey, you dialed the wrong number" and then it repeated the opening greeting recording as it should.
    the default action after playing your custom greeting in this case is to "restart greeting" - which is why the opening greeting plays again.
    Not sure what you did in your testing with the error greeting - check to make sure you have it set to play your personal greeting instead of the default system greeting - since you can't disable the error greeting there's not a lot of other items I can think of to check.

  • Calls not being directed tomy System Call Handler

    I built a small auto attendant for an acquisition group of users moving to our head office, there are two toll free numbers as well as 4 DIDs, the carrier began forwarding these on move day to the pilot number of my AA.
    The issue is that the toll free numbers work but the DIDs do not, they are routing to the UC default opening greeting for some reason rather than my AA call handler.
    It's as though for some reason call manager is sending something different for these DIDs as opposed to the TFs and the UC doesn't know what to do with them so it sends to the default greeting.
    Any ideas as to what may be happening would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Andrew Bardowell
    Thomson Reuters

    Not to worry everyone problem solved, apologies for this time waster.
    The DIDs were forwarded as redirecting numbers instead of sending without as with the toll free numbers even though I specifically asked the carrier to check this on cut over night.
    Consequently when the toll free numbers come in they work correctly while the DIDs do not. The TFs because the tech who worked on those programmed them to send just the called number (caller ID) and the calling number.
    The tech working the DIDs sent a redirecting number as well (the original DID) which confused Unity Connection.

  • System call module questions.

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a system call module for solaris 2.6 (sparc).
    I am trying to avoid useing the /etc/name_to_sysnum file because I dont want my system calls to be dependant on a userland file. What I have done is this.
    static struct modlmisc modlmisc = {
    &mod_miscops,
    "Einstien system call driver"
    static struct modlinkage modlinkage = {
    MODREV_1,
    &modlmisc,
    NULL
    int
    _init(void)
    int error;
    if ((error = mod_install(&modlinkage)) < 0)
    return error;
    sysent[SYS_secctl].sy_narg = 6;
    sysent[SYS_secctl].sy_callc = (longlong_t (*)()) test;
    sysent[SYS_secctl].sy_flags = SE_LOADED | SE_NOUNLOAD | SE_ARGC;
         return 0;
    And this works, the only side effect is that my system calls do not have return values. Is there something else that I need to do (without makeing a specfic system call driver that depends on /etc/name_to_sysnum) to have correct return values ?

  • Unity Connection - Users with system default password getting locked out

    Hi all, hope everyone is well !!
    I am experiencing a strange problem and hope someone can give me some direction on where to start digging on this issue.
    I am getting a good number of users reporting they are getting locked out of their voice mail and they all claim that they have not changed their password and some user even got their greeting recorded by someone else. One thing in common for the users who reported the issue is that they all using the system default password. I am trying to trace to find out who/what has access to these users' mailbox but so far I have not had any luck.
    Thanks in advance !!
    Danny

    Thanks, yes am doing that now and cant really find any new/unique pattern. Plus the trace is pretty hard to follow. Cant really figure out any times stamps in the trace also. The current trace file is defaultTrace.18.trc and it has very simiiar content as some of the older ones before the problem. Right now the ESS portal is working and the slddsuser password is not locked. It seems the problem takes place on start up?
    /usr/sap/ESS/JC77/j2ee/cluster/server0/log
    Tough thing to test in production.
    I wonder what takes place at startup that would kick this problem off?

  • Setting up PLAR with Cisco Unity Connection Call Handler

      This is a lab setup and Im doing it to learn.  No customer involvement.
    Setup
    Analog phones - FXS Port - 2951 Router - FXS port - FXO Port - 2951 Router - CUCM 9 - UC 9
                            |------------PSTN Emulator-------------|    |-----MGCP GW----------|
    I have a CTI Route Point configured as DN 7000 and it has the default VM profile.  The CTI RP is set to FWD All to VM. 
    The FXO port is set to PLAR to 7000.
    When I dial from the PSTN analog phones through the FXO port, I hear the first ring, the FXO port answers, then I hear what sounds like the recorded message beginning to play.  Immediately after, I hear the recorded message "You cannot be transferred to this number.  Check the number and try again."
    I dont do anything and within a second or two, I hear the recorded message for the system call handler start.
    I did some more testing.  I added an E1 trunk between the PSTN and the MGCP gateway.  In the CUCM, I created another CTI Route Point with a DN that I could dial from my PSTN cloud.  I also set that CTI Route point up to Call FWD all to VM.
    When I dial using the E1 trunk, the call hits the system call handler as expected and I hear my recorded greeting (as expected).
    However, calling through the FXS-FXO tie line consistently gets me the error message recording followed by my recorded greeting.
    Im currently using loopstart on the tie line, though I have also tried ground start with no difference.
    Any ideas?
    Jeff              

    If I understand correctly, you want outside calls to go directly to the call handler but internal calls to ring whatever phone this extension is on.
    If I am understanding correctly, then this will probably resolve it.  For the purposes of the explanation I will assume that extension 1000 is the number in question:
    Create a new partition, we'll just call it ToVM or something like that
    Create a new CTI route point with extension 1000 and put it in the ToVM partition, forward all calls for this CTI route point to voicemail
    If you don't have one already, create a calling search space for the voice gateway.  Call it Gateway-CSS.  This should have the same partitions that the gateway can normally call, but it should also have the ToVM partition and that partition should be HIGHER in the list than the partition that has the normal extension 1000 on it.
    Apply Gateway-CSS to the gateway
    Configure the normal extension 1000 (not in the ToVM partition) the way that you want it to work.
    Now when external callers dial 1000 they will go to the call handler because that partition is higher in the CSS and the CTI Route point should be hit first.  Internal callers will ring the phone (or whatever it is) because they only have access to the regular internal partition (and not ToVM) that 1000 is in.
    This is all assuming that I understand you correctly!

  • Unity Connection Transfer calls across ICT

    I am working on a system where they have a unity connection 8.6(2) server that has a system call handler configured for external voice mail access. They would like to be able to have the users call in and enter the extensions of users on a remore CUCM cluster and be routed across the Inter Cluster trunk to the remote cluster. I have the system setup to allow the caller to enter the extension of users not associated with a mailbox and I have configured the transfer rules to allow the pattern defined for the extensions. However it still fails.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Michael,
    Ensure the CSS assigned of the SIP trunk (if using UCXN SIP integration) or voicemail ports (if using SCCP) has access to a partition that the route pattern pointing to remote cluster is assigned to.

  • Unity Connection transferring calls to CUCM

    I have posted here before, continuing my learning in my lab.
    CUCM 9 and CUC 9.  4 IP Phones registered and all have mailboxes.  I have a System Call Handler configured to answer calls coming from a CTI Route Point.
    I have been playing with a scenario trying to learn all the capabilities of the various call handlers.
    Im currently trying to allow the caller to transfer to a phone number that is registered in CUCM - but does NOT have a mailbox.
    My CUC Configuration
         Call Handler Basics
              Callers Hear -> My Personal Recording
              During Greeting -> Allow Transfers to Numbers Not Associate with Users or Call Handlers
              After Greeting -> Conversation -> Caller System Transfer
         System Settings -> Restriction Tables
              Default Transfer
                   I added a new entry and specifically entered the DN that I was trying to transfer to (123)
                   I unchecked the "blocked" for all entries
         Call Management -> Call Routing -> Forwarded Routing Rules
                   Attempt Forward Routing Rule -> Send Call to -> Conversation -> Attempt Forward
    From an IP Phone, I dial the CTI RP and get forwarded to the main / opening call handler.  I traverse a couple of menu tree levels to get to my call handler where I am attempting to transfer back to CUCM.  I hear my recorded personal greeting instructing me to enter my number.  Whether I wait for the recording to end or whether I enter the digits during the greeting, the results are the same.  The result is that nothing happens.  No recorded message telling me that I cant be transferred to that number - nothing at all.  The call just terminates.
    I started up Connection Remote Port Status monitor and I can watch the sequence of the call.  When I enter the digits of the target phone (123), I see in the Remote Port Status Monitor that it sees and receives the DTMF digits, but then nothing happens. 
    I next tested by adding a test user in CUC with the same DN of 123.  As soon as I did that, I repeated the attempted call and when I dialed "123", I get the recorded message "Wait while I transfer that call" and then the call completes successfully.
    This is my home lab so I can make any changes that you suggest with no user implications.
    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    That is weird! It is still shown in this 9.x doc
    Overview of Default Restriction Tables in Cisco Unity
    Connection 9.x
    Default Fax
    Restricts numbers for fax delivery.
    Default Outdial
    Restricts numbers for message notifications
    Default System Transfer
    Restricts numbers that can be used for
    Caller system transfers, which allow
    unidentified callers to transfer to a
    number that they specify. For example,
    callers may want to dial a lobby or conference room phone that is not
    associated with a Connection user. By default, the table does not allow
    Connection to dial any numbers.
    Default Transfer
    Restricts numbers for call transfers.

  • Unity call handler problem

    Hello,
    If somebody can help me with Unity configuration, I will be appritiated.
    I`ve got a number 555 with system call handler configured on Unity and all call gets forwarded to VM. When I am calling to 555 from my phone everything works fine. But when I try to forward all calls from another extention, let`s say from 444 to 555, I am hiting default Unity greetings for the number 555 instead of system one.
    Any ideas much appritiated !
    Maxim

    Hi Maxim,
    This is the expected behavior as Unity will see the Forwarded number
    of 444 instead of 555 and doesn't know what to do with it.
    So, let's say you want to route 444 to the 555 Call Handler.
    You   could create a Voicemail Profile in CUCM called "555 Transfer  or   whatever"  which points to DN 555 (**Voicemail Box Mask = 555).
    Apply this new  profile to 444 (under DN config page VM-Profile in CUCM) and  when calls route  through 444 and forward to voicemail they will  receive the 555 Call Handler Greeting etc.
    You could also use the Forwarded Routing Rule set up in Unity to create a rule for this 444 to 555 forwarding.
    Cheers!
