Version: 1.3 Last Edited: 16 April 2014
Welcome to Cisco Unity Voice Mail! In conjunction with the PlymTEL IP Telephony rollout, Cisco Unity Voice Mail is available as an option to all staff within the University In order to help you get acquainted with your Voice Mail this help sheet provides a basic description of the Voice Mail features and a “how to” guide for logging on to your Voice Mail box, recording personal greetings and listening to your Voice Mail messages.
Telephone Numbers Your new number will be of the form 01752 5 (8xxxx), your internal number being a 5-digit number. This telephone number is permanently allocated to you not to a department. This means that you log into any internal IP telephone handset using your ‘extension mobility’ user ID and PIN to pick up Voice Mail and/or make and receive telephone calls as if you were sat at your own desk.
Phone socket Your handset will be plugged into the wall socket used for your computer, the computer then connects into the back of your IP phone.

Getting Started Log In to Your Telephone. If not already logged into your IP telephone, or the telephone is displaying a number other than your own: Press Services button. Choose the first option – ‘Extension Mobility’ Choose the Select button. You will be prompted for a user ID and PIN.
Setting up Your Voice Mail Cisco Unity Voice Mail allows individuals to receive and pickup voice mail from any IP telephone within the University. By default, unanswered incoming calls are set to divert to a voice mail after 15 seconds while incoming calls to a busy extension are immediately diverted to voice mail. The first time you use voice mail, you will hear a series of voice prompts that will guide you through the steps necessary to personalise your voice mail box. We refer to this as Subscriber Self Enrolment. Subscriber Self Enrolment is an important process as ultimately it provides calling parties with the assurance that they have reached their intended recipient. The process needs to be completed only once and must include all four steps: Leaving a Recorded Name Recording a Personal Greeting Directory Assistance listing Changing your password.
Press the Messages button on the phone and enter the default numeric password (default is 12345) followed by #.
Note: While the default password is set to the same numeric value as the default PIN used to log into your telephone, the two must be considered as quite separate. The process for changing either is different and independent of each other.
Subscriber Self Enrolment begins with “Welcome to Cisco Unified Communications, please take a moment to personalise or update your settings. To exit, press *. Do not press the * key at this stage!

Your recorded name is played back to you. Press the # key to keep it or wait for the invitation to re-record it. Personal Greetings. The enrolment continues with :“When callers cannot reach you, they may leave a message. A personal greeting encourages callers to leave a message. Your standard greeting is..... to keep it and continue, press # Do not press the # key at this stage! Press 1 to record your own standard personal greeting. This will replace the automated system greeting “Extension 8XXXX is unavailable....”, which calling parties tend to find impersonal and off putting. You will be advised that you are listed in directory Assistance. Press the # key to continue. Changing the Default Password:- The enrolment continues with :“A password protects the privacy of your messages.....” Enter your new password followed by the # key when prompted. You will be prompted to re-enter it to confirm it. Passwords must be at least 5 digits long.
