4. Fill in the fields as shown below.

   

   
   

   
   

The Signaling Groups should appear like the following after adding the ISDN and SIP Signaling Groups:

Call Routing Table Entries

1. In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.
   
   
2. In the left navigation pane, go to Call Routing Table > (call route entry for ISDN).
   
   

3. Fill in the fields as shown below.

Exchange 20xx UM Server Configuration Steps

Exchange 20xx UM Server and

SBC 2000 Gateway integration requires the following items to be configured on Exchange Management Console:

1. A Dial Plan configuration with:
   • Subscriber Access Number
   • UM Mailbox Policy
   • UM IP Gateway
   • UM Auto Attendant
     
     
2. UM Dial Plan association

Dial Plan Configuration

• Logon to Exchange / UM Server PC
• Launch Exchange Management Console
• Create a New Dial Plan using the following information:

Subscriber Access Number

Dialing Rule Group for 4 digit dialing used in this example:

Dialing Restriction

UM Mailbox Policy

UM IP Gateway

UM Auto Attendants

Dialing Restriction

Associating Dial Plan to UM Server

• Logon to Exchange / UM Server PC.
• Launch Exchange Management Console.

• Associate the relevant dial plan with the UM Server as shown below:

 Signaling Group Status Verification

After having completed both 

and Exchange 20xx Unified Messaging Server configuration steps, using the monitor view, ensure both PRI and SIP ports are up and in idle as shown below:

Common Use Case

In a PBX – 

– eUM Server scenario the following configuration steps allow PBX users to have UM voice mail boxes:

1. On the PBX, a user must be configured with a diversion number as the Subscriber Access Number (i.e: 6255).
   This number is configured in the Exchange Management Console >> Organization Configuration >> Unified Messaging >> UM Dial Plan >> Subscriber Access tab.
   
   

2. On the eUM, the relevant user entry must be enabled for Unified Messaging as shown below:

   

3. When a PBX user-1 receives a call (i.e., from PBX user-2) and does not answer, the call is diverted by the PBX to the diversion number (6225). The call arrives at the
   Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
   , and the 
   Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables"
   sends an INVITE to the UM Server. Once the call reaches the UM Server, the Calling Party can leave a message in PBX user-1's voice mail box.
   
   
4. In addition, PBX user(s) can call a Subscriber Access (SA) Number (6255) and an Auto Attendant (AA) Number (6256) via 4 digit dialing in above setup to navigate UM prompts via DTMF or voice commands
