Auto-Attendant Application, page 1
  • To use your own welcome greeting, create a .wav file that contains 
the prerecorded welcome greeting. Upload this file to the 
Cisco
 Unity Express module so that it can be located and saved in 
the auto-attendant script. Alternatively, you can use the AvT to 
record the welcome greeting. See 
“Recording a Prompt File” on 
page 29 and “Uploading a Prompt File” on page 29 for guidelines 
on recording and uploading a greeting.
  • Number of times the auto-attendant will replay instructions to a 
caller before the call is disconnected. This count begins when the 
caller moves past the main menu and starts to hear instructions for 
a submenu. The main menu will play five times and then, if the 
caller makes no choice or incorrect choices, will transfer to the 
operator.
  • Extension number of the operator. Auto-attendant dials this 
extension when the caller presses the zero (“0”) button.
  • Telephone number that the caller must dial to reach the 
auto-attendant. In many cases, this number is your company 
telephone number.
  • Maximum number of callers that auto-attendant can handle 
simultaneously. This number is limited by the number of ports 
purchased with Cisco Unity Express. Check your license agreement 
and see 
“Recording a Prompt File” on page 29 for this maximum 
number.
11. “Recording a Prompt File” on page 29   • Prerecorded prompt files in .wav format. Use the AvT to record the 
prompts.
  • Prompt filenames.
12. Configuring Auto-Attendant Scripts, page 9   • Preconfigured script files. Use the Cisco Unity Express script editor 
to create the files. See the 
Cisco Unity Express Guide to Writing 
Scripts for more information.
  • Script filenames.
13. Configuring SIP Triggers for the 
Applications, page 39
  • Telephone number that invokes the application. This number must 
be different for voice-mail, auto-attendant, and AvT.
  • Maximum number of callers, or sessions, the application can handle 
simultaneously. The total for all applications must not exceed the 
maximum number of ports for the system. (See 
“Recording a 
Prompt File” on page 29 for the maximum number of ports.) The 
applications need not have the same maximum number; for 
example, voice mail might need three sessions while auto-attendant 
needs five sessions.
