If you want VoiceMail integration with your telephone system, or Unified Messaging; then Unity has to have a MAPI-based connection to the Exchange server. ________________________________ From: Robert Lawson [mailto:rlawson@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 10:58 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: RE: [exchangelist] RE: Soka|Exchange & Cisco's Unity voicemail Michael, Very helpful. How does Unity define United Messaging and Voice-Mail with the interface to Exchange? I believe we have "United Messaging" where Unity populates AD, and actually logs into Exchange and does a send-as. Thanks, Robert ________________________________ From: Michael B.

Unity uses an email system (whether it's Exchange or Domino) as a message store. You cannot have a Unity subscriber without a mailbox. If Exchange is down, Unity places messages into the local filesystem until Exchange comes back up. Now, the various permutations get a little weird, depending on whether you are doing Unified Messaging or Voice-Mail Only. However, while there is a compatibility matrix, there is no inherent requirement that both pieces of software be upgraded at the same time. ________________________________ From: Robert Lawson [mailto:rlawson@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 10:37 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: Soka|Exchange & Cisco's Unity voicemail Hello All, We are looking for folks who have interfaced Cisco's Unity voice mail with Exchange. Is there a "lite" interface between these two products, so both products can be upgraded independently, yet voice-mail messages can still be delivered to Exchange mail boxes. Also is there a way to selectively turn-off/on the interface by individual user?
