VoiceView Express has an inactivity timeout parameter, after which the VoiceView Express session is  
automatically logged out without notification.  
If you are logged in to VoiceView Express using your Cisco Unified IP phone and you receive an  
incoming call, the call information appears on the phone display. Lifting the handset or pressing the  
Headset or Speaker button connects the call. Depending on which Cisco Unified IP phone you have,  
you can return to the VoiceView Express session if the call is terminated before the session is ended  
by the inactivity timeout parameter. Otherwise, the VoiceView Express session will be automatically  
logged out without notification. For more information, see the user’s guide for your  
Cisco Unified IP phone. See

Managing Fax Messages  
Managing Fax Messages  
Cisco Unity Express can receive and process faxes through the voice-mail system. Faxes can be  
forwarded, marked as new, saved, deleted, and undeleted similarly to regular voice messages.  
Additionally, you can send fax messages from a mailbox to a local fax machine for printing.  
Supported IMAP clients can receive faxes as a .tif file attachment to an e-mail. The IMAP clients allow  
subscribers to download the message and save the fax attachment to a local workstation where it can be  
viewed and printed using standard .tif readers.  
You must compose and send a fax from an analog fax machine. You cannot compose a fax through the  
Cisco Unity Express voice-mail system.  
If your system administrator configures a dedicated extension for fax calls, these calls will not ring on a  
subscriber’s extension. Your system administrator, however, may configure an extension that will receive  
both fax and voice calls. In this case, when the subscriber picks up an incoming call that is a fax, an  
identifier tone is heard. The system monitors for such tones and automatically sends the fax to the  
designated mailbox and terminates the voice leg of the call.  
Note  
Your system administrator must enable the fax function on a mailbox and extension. The fax number  
may be the same as the voice-mail extension of a subscriber or a dedicated fax extension may be  
configured.  
To manage fax messages:  
Step 1  
Dial in to the Cisco Unity Express system. The voice prompt summarizes how many new and saved  
messages your have.  
Step 2  
Press 1 to listen to new messages.  
The voice prompt identifies a fax in your mailbox and lists its properties, for example, the time and date  
sent and the originating location. The voice prompt also indicates if a voice message is attached to the  
fax.  
Note  
If the fax was forwarded from another subscriber, a voice message can be attached from the forwarding  
subscriber.

Accessing Setup Options  
Greetings are messages that callers hear when they reach your voice mail. You can have the following  
greetings:  
Standard greeting—Normal greeting played to callers when they reach your voice mail. This can be  
either the default system greeting or a greeting that you have recorded and chosen as your own  
standard greeting.  
Multiple Alternate greetings—Multiple alternate greetings are recorded by you and played to the  
callers when they reach your voice mail. You can turn these greetings on or off using the voice-mail  
menu. These greetings are used as an alternative to your standard greeting. Following are the  
Multiple Alternate greetings:  
Alternate greetings—To record a special greeting (other than standard greeting).  
Meeting greeting—To record a greeting that plays when you are in a meeting.  
Vacation greetings—To record a greeting that plays during the time when you are on a Vacation.  
Extended Absence greetings—To record a greeting that plays during the time when you are  
absent for an extended period of time. If extended absence greeting is turned on then mailbox  
will not take messages from external callers or will not accept messages from subscribers.  
State Based greetings—State based greetings are recorded by you and played to the callers  
according to the state of your business. Following are the State Based greetings:  
Busy greeting—To record a that plays when you are busy. This greeting is played and it takes  
precedence over standard, closed, and internal greetings if the subscriber is busy over the phone  
and if this greeting is enabled. But if a multiple alternate greeting is enabled then it takes  
precedence over busy greeting. Phone or call agent must provide the support necessary for Cisco  
Unity Express to identify that the phone is busy and the call forward is on busy rather than on  
no-answer.  
Closed greeting—To record a greeting that plays during non-business hours or hours past your  
business hours. This greeting is played if it is not a business hour and if this greeting is enabled.  
Business hours are based on the business schedule that is associated to Voicemail. If internal  
greeting is enabled and if the call is during non-business hours then closed greeting is played  
over standard greeting. But multiple alternate greeting, busy greeting and internal greeting takes  
precedence over closed greeting.  
Internal greeting—To record a greeting that plays when you receive a call from an internal  
extension number.

What to Do When Receiving Notifications by Phone  
When you receive a call from Cisco Unity Express notifying you of a voice-mail message, you can:  
Enter 1 to turn off voice-mail notification to this phone number. If you disable notification, the  
system sends you a voice-mail message to tell you that notification is turned off.  
Enter your extension and PIN to check your voice-mail messages. (This feature must be enabled by  
your system administrator.)  
If the notification is part of a notification cascading rule, you can:  
Press 1 to reject the notification to your number or device. Your notification profile is changed  
to reflect this.  
Press 2 to disable cascade notification function from this subscriber. A notification is sent to the  
sender of the notification that cascade notification is disabled for your extension.  
Recording a Live Conversation  
On receipt of a call, you can initiate the live record function to record the conversation. The recorded  
conversation is stored as a message in your mailbox and you can access and manage it similarly to  
ordinary messages. The recording function can only be initiated by a subscriber at the subscriber’s  
extension location.  
Caution  
Step 1  
See disclaimer statement relating to recording a conversation: DISCLAIMER FOR RECORDING A  
To record a conversation:  
While in your conversation, press the conference (Confrn) button. The current conversation is put on  
hold.  
Note  
Depending on your Cisco IP phone, you may need to press More, then press Confrn.  
Step 2  
Dial the live record pilot number provided by your system administrator.  
The call request is forwarded to the system’s live record pilot number. Cisco Unity Express receives the  
request and initiates the recording function.  
Step 3  
Note  
To begin recording, again press the Confrn button.  
Cisco Unity Express sends periodic beeps to remind participants that the call is being recorded. These  
beeps are not part of the recording.

Receiving Voice-mail Messages in Your E-mail  
Note  
This feature is not available on all systems. Contact your system administrator.  
You can set up Cisco Unity Express to deliver your voice-mail messages to an e-mail program. You must  
use a standard IMAP e-mail client. Your voice-mail messages are sent to your e-mail program as an  
e-mail file attachment in .wav file format. The file can be played with a media player such as Microsoft  
Windows Media Player.  
The following e-mail programs are supported in Cisco Unity Express 8.6:  
Iphone third party clients  
Cisco Mobile 8.0 (supported on Iphone)  
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator (CUPC) 8.5  
Cisco Unified Communications Integration™ for Microsoft Office Communicator 8.0  
Microsoft Outlook 2010/2007/2003/XP

Downloading Voice-mail Messages  
You will need to see the documentation for your e-mail program for instructions on how to set up your  
program to retrieve IMAP messages.  
Cisco Unity Express voice-mail messages download to a folder called Inbox. If you are having problems  
retrieving voice-mail messages, check the following:

Authorization Failed  
You do not have the proper privileges to retrieve your voice-mail  
messages using e-mail. Contact your system administrator.  
After Receiving Voice-Mail Messages  
After you receive voice-mail messages in your e-mail, you can perform the following actions:  
Listen to messages—Typically, you can double-click the .wav file message attachment to listen to it.  
Change the status of a message—Mark a message as read or unread.  
Delete messages—Mark a message as deleted in your inbox, which also moves it into the deleted  
messages portion of your voice-mail system. Logging out of your e-mail client removes all deleted  
messages in your e-mail mailbox.  
Note  
Deleted messages must be purged to entirely remove the message from your system.  
Undelete messages—Change the state of a message from deleted to saved and remove it from the  
deleted message storage space. As long as deleted messages are not purged, you can undelete them.  
Purge deleted messages—Remove deleted messages from your e-mail client and server.  
Updating the status of a message in your e-mail program also updates the message status on the  
voice-mail system. For example, marking a message as Read on your e-mail client will mark the message  
as saved on the telephone voice-mail system, and turn off your message-waiting indicator light on your  
phone if you have no other new messages.  
Note  
Not all of these actions may be supported by your e-mail program; see your e-mail program  
documentation for more information.  
Private Voice-Mail Messages  
You can only download the headers, or summaries, of voice-mail messages that have been marked  
“Private” by the sender. You must dial in to the voice-mail system to listen to the body of the private  
voice-mail message.  
Caution  
Do not delete a private message from your Inbox before listening to it. Deleting the message in your  
e-mail client deletes the actual voice-mail message from the system and you cannot listen to it.  
Broadcast Messages  
You can only download broadcast messages that you have previously listened to and saved through the  
telephone voice-mail system. New broadcast messages are not downloaded to your e-mail program.

DISCLAIMER FOR RECORDING A CONVERSATION  
The use of monitoring, recording, or listening devices to eavesdrop, monitor, retrieve, or record phone conversations or other sound activities,  
whether or not contemporaneous with transmission, may be illegal in certain circumstances under federal, state and/or local laws. Legal advice should  
be sought prior to implementing any practice that monitors or records any phone conversation. Some laws require some form of notification to all  
parties to a phone conversation, such as by using a beep tone or other notification method or requiring the consent of all parties to the phone  
conversation, prior to monitoring or recording the phone conversation. Some of these laws incorporate strict penalties. In cases where local laws  
require a periodic beep while a conversation is being recorded, the Cisco Unity Express voice-mail system provides a user with the option of  
activating "the beep." Prior to activating the Cisco Unity Express live record function, check the laws of all applicable jurisdictions. This is not legal  
advice and should not take the place of obtaining legal advice from a lawyer. IN ADDITION TO THE GENERAL DISCLAIMER THAT  
ACCOMPANIES THIS CISCO UNITY EXPRESS PRODUCT, CISCO ADDITIONALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, BOTH  
CIVIL AND CRIMINAL, AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE UNAUTHORIZED AND/OR ILLEGAL USE OF THIS CISCO  
UNITY EXPRESS PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT NECESSARILY LIMITED TO, THE  
UNAUTHORIZED AND/OR ILLEGAL RECORDING AND MONITORING OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS IN VIOLATION OF  
APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND/OR LOCAL LAWS.
