Chapter 12 Configuring Message Notification
Message Notification Settings
Table 12-3 illustrates a restriction table that permits one number in an area code but restricts all other 
numbers in that area code.
  • SMTP server setup—Sending notifications to a subscriber’s e-mail or text messages to text pagers 
requires an SMTP server. The administrator must configure an external SMTP server address for 
Cisco
 Unity Express to use to send the text notifications. The SMTP server address can be the 
hostname or IP address. To use the hostname, verify that the DNS server is configured.
If the SMTP server requires a user ID and password for authentication, the administrator must 
configure the user ID and password on Cisco Unity Express software.
  • From address for outgoing e-mails—E-mail messages and notifications sent out by 
Cisco
 Unity Express display the address hostname@domain in the From field, where hostname is 
the hostname configured for Cisco
 Unity Express and domain is the domain name configured for 
Cisco
 Unity Express. The administrator can configure a more descriptive e-mail address to use in 
this field. Maximum length is 128 characters.
Subscriber and Device-Specific Settings
Subscribers are able to use the telephone user interface (TUI), graphical user interface (GUI), or 
VoiceView Express to specify the phone devices and numeric pagers to which message notifications will 
be sent. Subscribers can use only the GUI or VoiceView Express to configure e-mail inboxes or text 
pagers to receive notifications. 
The administrator can use the GUI, VoiceView Express, or the CLI procedures in this section to 
configure any supported device to receive notifications. 
The following settings are available for configuring message notification:
  • Phone number—The system dials this number when a mailbox receives a new message. The number 
consists only of digits 0 to 9; no other characters or pauses are permitted. Include any access codes 
as part of the phone number.
This setting is not available for e-mail inboxes and text pagers.
If the phone number is removed, the system disables the device.
The administrator configures a restriction table that controls what phone numbers are allowed for 
message notification. See 
“System-Wide Message Notification Settings” on page 2 for information 
on restriction tables.
  • Extra digits—The system dials these digits after the phone number when the outgoing call is 
answered. The system treats these digits as DTMF digits from Cisco Unity Express to the called 
device.
The result of these digits depends on the called device. For example, the digits appear on the display 
of a numeric pager.
