Configuration Tasks
This chapter lists the tasks for configuring and maintaining Cisco Unity Express and contains the 
following sections:
  • Configuring the System Using CLI Commands, page 1
  • Configuring the System Using the GUI, page 1
  • Configuration Tasks, page 1
  • Ongoing Tasks, page 10
  • As-Needed Tasks, page 10
Configuring the System Using CLI Commands
If you will configure one or more Cisco Unity Express systems exclusively using CLI scripts, enter the 
command environment as described in “Entering the Command Environment” on page 1. Proceed with 
the scripts, using the sections in this chapter as a guideline for configuring the system components. When 
entering the GUI for the first time and the initialization wizard appears, choose the skip option to avoid 
reconfiguring the system.
Configuring the System Using the GUI
The Cisco Unity Express GUI provides the initialization wizard software tool to configure the basic 
system parameters and import any subscribers configured on Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
or Cisco Unified CME.
If you log in to the GUI web interface after installation, the initialization wizard is the first screen to 
appear. You cannot activate it again except by reinstalling Cisco Unity Express software. All the 
parameters configured through the initialization wizard are available through GUI screens and CLI 
commands. See “Configuring the System for the First Time,” in the Cisco Unity Express GUI 
Administrator Guide for more information about the initialization wizard.
Configuration Tasks
Table 4-1 lists the initial configuration tasks, the section describing each procedure, and additional 
information needed for each task.
