Cisco Unity Fundamentals

A comprehensive introduction to deploying, configuring, and maintaining Cisco Unity

• Discover the various Cisco Unity integration and deployment solutions, as well as the environmental differences between PBX and IP telephony-based telephone systems
• Learn the pitfalls of existing systems integration and how to avoid downtime
• Maintain a Cisco unified messaging solution by using the book's examples, including setups, additions, message sourcing applications, and error reporting
• Perform the proper installation, upgrade, and back up of Cisco Unity systems
• Monitor performance and troubleshoot a Cisco Unity system using the proper tools and utilities that help you ensure high availability
• Choose the proper Cisco Unity networking features to deliver messages to other voice-messaging systems

Cisco Unity is the official unified messaging solution for the Cisco Architecture for Voice, Video, and Integrated Data (AVVID) and complements the full range of Cisco IP-based voice solutions, including Cisco CallManager and Cisco Personal Assistant.

Cisco Unity Fundamentals provides design and administration goals for migrating from PBX to Cisco IP Telephony, as well as working in a mixed PBX/Cisco IP Telephony environment. You will learn about the transition from the traditional model, with separate architectures for voice-mail and e-mail systems, to supporting unified messaging: e-mail, voice, and fax messages delivered to a single inbox. You will also discover common troubleshooting solutions, such as performance monitoring and the importance of data collection for predicting future system requirements.

Cisco Unity Fundamentals begins by introducing the engineering aspects of Cisco Unity and then moves quickly into the hardware and software platforms. Part I focuses on the administration of Cisco Unity, describing the features, general setup, and global settings. Part II describes installation and discusses various types of integration with Cisco CallManager and other telephone systems, including Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy. Part II also delves into networking with other voice-messaging systems. After reading Cisco Unity Fundamentals, you will understand the system, configuration, and on-going maintenance issues associated with a successful Cisco Unity deployment.

This book is part of the Cisco Press Fundamentals Series. Books in this series introduce networking professionals to new networking technologies, covering network topologies, example deployment concepts, protocols, and management techniques.

《Cisco Unity基礎》是一本全面介紹部署、配置和維護Cisco Unity的書籍。

• 探索各種Cisco Unity整合和部署解決方案，以及PBX和IP電話系統之間的環境差異


• 了解現有系統整合的問題以及如何避免停機時間


• 通過書中的示例（包括設置、添加、消息源應用程序和錯誤報告）來維護Cisco統一消息解決方案


• 使用正確的工具和實用程序監控性能並排除故障Cisco Unity系統，以確保高可用性


• 選擇適當的Cisco Unity網絡功能，將消息傳遞到其他語音消息系統

Cisco Unity是Cisco語音、視頻和集成數據（AVVID）架構的官方統一消息解決方案，並與包括Cisco CallManager和Cisco Personal Assistant在內的全系列Cisco基於IP的語音解決方案相輔相成。

《Cisco Unity基礎》提供了從PBX遷移到Cisco IP電話以及在混合PBX / Cisco IP電話環境中工作的設計和管理目標。您將了解從傳統模型（具有獨立的語音郵件和電子郵件系統架構）過渡到支持統一消息的過程：將電子郵件、語音和傳真消息傳遞到單一收件箱。您還將了解常見的故障排除解決方案，例如性能監控和數據收集對於預測未來系統需求的重要性。

《Cisco Unity基礎》首先介紹了Cisco Unity的工程方面，然後迅速轉入硬件和軟件平台。第一部分重點介紹了Cisco Unity的管理，描述了功能、一般設置和全局設置。第二部分描述了安裝並討論了與Cisco CallManager和其他電話系統（包括會話初始協議（SIP）代理）的各種集成類型。第二部分還深入探討了與其他語音消息系統的網絡互聯。閱讀完《Cisco Unity基礎》後，您將了解成功部署Cisco Unity所涉及的系統、配置和持續維護問題。

本書是Cisco Press基礎系列的一部分。該系列的書籍向網絡專業人士介紹新的網絡技術，涵蓋網絡拓撲、示例部署概念、協議和管理技術。
