  1. Appendix A Implementing Unified Messaging

  2. Appendix Overview Overview of Telephony Introducing Unified Messaging Configuring Unified Messaging

  3. Lesson 1: Overview of Telephony • Types of Telephone Systems • Components of a Telephony System • Types of PBXs • What Is a VoIP Gateway?

  4. Types of Telephone Systems

  5. Components of a Telephony System Components of a telephony system include: • DID • Dial plan • Hunt group • Pilot number • Coverage path • Call transfer

  6. Types of PBXs

  7. What Is a VoIP Gateway? • Circuit-switched networks use a dedicated connection between two network devices, such as phones • Packet-switched networks divide each data message into packets that are sent to their destination and reassembled • VoIP enables IP-based networks as the transmission medium for telephone calls VoIP gateway converts traditional circuit-switching protocols into packet-switched protocols

  8. Lesson 2: Introducing Unified Messaging What Is Unified Messaging? Unified Messaging Protocols Overview of Unified Messaging Communications Server Communications for Unified Messaging Call-Answering Features of Unified Messaging Outlook Voice Access Features How Unified Messaging Works with a VoIP Gateway Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Changes Supporting Unified Messaging Integrating Unified Messaging with Lync Server 2010 International Requirements for Unified Messaging

  9. What Is Unified Messaging? Unified Messaging combines voice messaging andemail messaging into one store that is accessible from a telephone and a computer Unified Messaging features include: • Call answering • Outlook Voice Access • Play on Phone • Voicemail preview • Protected voicemail • Call answering rules(Personal Auto Attendant)

  10. Unified Messaging Protocols

  11. Overview of Unified Messaging Communications Client Unified Messaging IP Gateway Unified Messaging Server Directory Server IP PBX PBX Exchange Server (CAS/HT) Mailbox Server Internal Phones External Phones

  12. Server Communications for Unified Messaging Unified Messaging servers communicate with: • Active Directory domain controllers to locate user mailboxes and subscriber information • The Mailbox server role to access subscribers’ personal greetings and the contents of their mailboxes • The Hub Transport server role to send messages with voicemail or fax attachments • The Client Access server role when messaging clients need to communicate with the Unified Messaging server using SIP

Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Changes Supporting Unified Messaging Exchange Control Panel improvements • Manage Unified Messaging objects in cross-premises deployment • Unified Messaging reports UM dial plan improvements • UM Dial Plan Wizard and Set-UMServer addition • Secondary UM dial plan addition Deployment and migration improvements • Lync Server 2010 deployment support • Lync Server 2010 migration support Communication improvements • New UM Language Pack additions • Call Answering Rules improvements • Unified Communications Managed API addition • Caller Name Display enhancements

  17. Integrating Unified Messaging with Lync Server 2010 You can integrate Unified Messaging with Lync Server 2010 to provide access to messaging and voice functionality using both messaging and Lync clients Integrating Exchange 2010 with Lync 2010 provides: • A single inbox for communications • Instant messaging and presence information • Web and audio video conferencing • VoIP telephony • Outlook Web App integration

  18. International Requirements for Unified Messaging Unified Messaging provides language packs to satisfy international requirements for Unified Messaging A language pack adds the following: • Copies the language prompts used to configure Unified Messaging dial plans and auto attendants • Allows the TTS engine to read messages when Outlook Voice Access users access their inboxes • Enables ASR for speech-enabled Unified Messaging dial plans and auto attendants With Exchange Server 2010 SP1, more than 25 language packs are available

  19. Lesson 3: Configuring Unified Messaging • Process for Installing Unified Messaging • What Is a Unified Messaging Dial Plan? • What Is a Unified Messaging IP Gateway? • What Is a Unified Messaging Hunt Group? • What Is a Unified Messaging Mailbox Policy? • What Is a Unified Messaging Auto Attendant? • Rules for Call Answering

  20. Process for Installing Unified Messaging 1 Install the Unified Messaging server role 2 Create a Unified Messaging dial plan 3 Create a Unified Messaging IP gateway 5 Configure a Unified Messaging mailbox policy 7 6 Enable mailboxes for Unified Messaging Create an auto attendant 4 Create a Unified Messaging hunt group

  21. What Is a Unified Messaging Dial Plan? Unified Messaging dial plans: • Are used to link user mailboxes to their extension numbers • Are used to configure default settings such as greetings, dial codes, and languages • Are managed using the Exchange Management Shell, Exchange Management Console, or the Exchange Control Panel You need at least one Unified Messaging dial plan, which requires a Unified Messaging server and an associated Unified Messaging IP gateway

  22. What Is a Unified Messaging IP Gateway? A Unified Messaging IP gateway is an Active Directory container object that logically represents a physical VoIP gateway or IP-PBX device Unified Messaging IP gateways: • Are managed using the Exchange Management Shell, Exchange Management Console, or Exchange Control Panel • Can be disabled to drop all calls or stop receiving new calls

  23. What Is a Unified Messaging Hunt Group? Unified Messaging hunt groups: • Are logical representations of an existing PBX hunt group to link IP gateways and dial plans • Are used to locate the PBX hunt group • Are managed using the Exchange Management Shell, Exchange Management Console or the ECP

  24. What Is a Unified Messaging Mailbox Policy? Unified Messaging mailbox policies apply configuration settings for Unified Messaging–enabled users You can specify: • Dial plan • Maximum greeting length • Login attempts before the password is reset • PIN restrictions • Restrictions on international calling • Protected voicemail settings

  27. Lab: Implementing Unified Messaging Exercise 1: Installing and Configuring Unified Messaging Features Logon information Estimated time: 60minutes

  28. Lab Scenario You are a messaging administrator for A. Datum Corporation. Your organization has deployed Exchange Server 2010. Your users expect to have voice access to their mailboxes, so you must enable this feature and configure Unified Messaging. Additionally, many native German speakers work at A. Datum, so you need to install the German language pack so that they also can use Unified Messaging.

  29. Lab Review • What Unified Messaging features does Exchange Server 2010 provide? • Which Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging components do you need to configure before you can use Unified Messaging? • What do you do to support other languages in Unified Messaging?

  30. Module Review and Takeaways Review Questions Common Issues and Troubleshooting Tips Best Practices Tools
