Unity configurations Unified messaging in an existing Exchange site
Cisco requires that anyone installing a Unity server as a unified
messaging server be an MCSE. In this configuration, the Unity
server is connected to other Exchange servers in the same site or
in multiple sites.
◆
The Unity server can handle voice, e-mail, and fax mes-
sages. Messages are stored on other Exchange servers.
◆
The Unity server is connected to the network, so it has
access to network utilities, such as virus checking and
backup.
◆
Subscribers check messages by using the phone or an
e-mail client such as Outlook, Eudora, or Pegasus Mail.
◆
Unity administration may be performed over the network.
◆
Subscribers have access to the Unity ActiveAssistant.
◆
Voice-mail and e-mail attributes on subscriber accounts
may be administered from a single location by using the
Unity Administrator (the administration interface).
◆
ActiveFax may be installed on the Unity server or on a
separate server.
