Chapter 06 Module 01 UMS
Module Introduction This module provides information about the IP Office Unified Messaging Service features. After completing this module you will be able to: Summarize the feature differences between UMS options for: Web Voicemail, the IMAP Client and Exchange 2007 Describe the UMS installation and licensing requirements Identify the configuration elements required for UMS in the Manager application Configure Web Voicemail for Users and Hunt Groups UMS offers the users a web interface allowing voicemail access via a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, with the ability to listen to targeted voicemails by using either the PC s multimedia equipment or the desk phone.
Unified Messaging Service overview Unified Messaging Service (UMS) provides the integration of VoiceMail Pro with email systems and web access to user mailboxes. A very simple installation and configuration process enables users to manage their voicemail messages by using the device of their choice including email clients or mobile devices. UMS can be integrated with IMAP-based email solutions as well as with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 environments. Note IMAP and Exchange Server 2007 integrations will be discussed in more detail in the next two modules.

Web Voicemail Installation Requirements UMS is licensed on a per-user basis as part of the IP Office Power User, Teleworker and Office Worker. The UMS Web Services legacy license is used to enable UMS voicemail services support for users set to the Basic User Profile and Hunt Groups. The software is included on the VoiceMail Pro CD and is installed when the Web Voicemail feature is selected. UMS requires the IIS web server on the voicemail server PC to be installed and enabled prior to installing Voicemail Pro. Windows 2008 Server IIS does not support legacy IIS applications such as Campaigns by default. This is rectified by reinstalling IIS from the Windows installation disk, and selecting Legacy IIS support.
Web Voicemail Requirements (Continued) Web Voicemail uses the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) scripting language. If an existing PHP is not detected, the VoiceMail Pro installation will install its own PHP. VoiceMail Pro UMS is not supported on systems that are using VoiceMail Pro IMS. IMS must be removed before UMS can be selected for installation. For users to access Web Voicemail a JavaScript enabled web browser is required. (IE, Firefox, Opera) For message playback an appropriate media player must be installed: Windows Media Player 10 Quick Time 7.4 VLC 0.8
License Configuration for UMS Prior to configuring Users or Hunt Groups, the appropriate license(s) must be installed and the Status displayed as Valid
Select Web Service Mail Boxes By double clicking on the UMS Web Services license, multiple Users and Hunt Groups can be enabled for UMS simultaneously By double clicking on the license for Office Worker, Power User or Teleworker, multiple Users can be enabled for UMS along with setting the Users profile

UMS IMAP Installation Requirements The IMAP server is installed as a standard part of the VoiceMail Pro Service installation. IMAP uses the IP address of the VoiceMail Pro server PC and runs on the standard IMAP port 143. Users and Hunt Groups licensed for UMS Web Services can utilize the IMAP service. The process for configuring Users and Hunt Groups in Manager for the IMAP service is the same as the configuration for the UMS Web Services.
Configuring an Email Account The exact method of configuring the email account for IMAP depends on the client used. Outlook Example Select Tools and then Options Select Mail Setup and click E-mail Accounts Add a new e-mail account Select IMAP as the server type In Server Information for Incoming Mail server and Outgoing mail server enter the IP address or the domain name of the VoiceMail Pro server PC. In Logon Information enter the user s extension number and the voicemail code as the User Name and Password.
Configuring an Email Account (Continued) The IMAP folder and the mailbox are synchronized when the IMAP folder is opened. The method of indication of the different message types will depend on the email client being used and is not controlled by the Voicemail Pro.

Chapter 06 Module 03 Exchange 2007
Module Introduction This module provides information about the IP Office Unified Messaging Service Exchange 2007 features. After completing this module you will be able to: Summarize the UMS Exchange 2007 feature capabilities Describe the installation requirements Configure users and groups for voicemail synchronization using Exchange 2007 A UMS user or group can be configured to have their voicemail messages forwarded to the inbox of an Exchange 2007 email account. They can then access their voicemail messages using Outlook 2007 or any other mechanisms supported by Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging. IP Office telephone mailbox access, including Visual Voice, is redirected to the voicemail messages stored in the email inbox.
Integration with Microsoft Exchange 2007 Each user with UMS enabled can be configured to use either the IMAP capability or the Exchange integration. If the Exchange option is selected all voicemails of the user will be forwarded and stored into the Exchange 2007 message store instead of the VoiceMail Pro message store. VoiceMail Pro is able to deliver new voicemails to Exchange formatted as voicemail which enables Exchange to handle them differently from standard emails. If used in combination with a mobility solution voicemails can be managed using the visual voicemail user interface of the mobile device (e.g. Blackberry).
Message Handling Voicemail messages in an Exchange 2007 inbox are not visible to UMS IMAP and UMS Web Voicemail; Exchange 2007 provides its own methods for IMAP and web browsing of Exchange mailboxes. The voicemail server delivers messages to the Exchange server upon completion of the recording. The timing for message waiting indication (MWI) and the access to messages from a telephone is dependant on the Exchange server processing and may result in a delay of one or two minutes. The same delay also applies to changes in the message status that affect message waiting indication.
