Directory Handler Prompts

Everyone seems to want a slightly different variation on the
prompts callers hear when they're searching for users by name using the
Unity directory handler. George was nice enough to record numerous
alternatives which you can download and apply to your system |

Architecture Overview
(8/19/2003) |
This document is updated for the 4.0(3) release of Unity,
however it applies broadly to versions of Unity back to 3.1(1) - where there
are differences the document notes it. It's a detailed document that covers the architecture of Unity and
includes a couple of detailed walk throughs of how calls are handled,
message waiting lights activated, how Unity interacts with the directory
and how access via the web takes place. It includes diagnostic trace
output information for several components as well.

much more refined format (along with much more information) in the "Cisco
Unity Deployment and Solutions Guide" book available now.

Audiotext Applications in Unity
(12/9/2002) |
This is a detailed run through on the Unity audio
text functionality that covers the audio text capabilities found in Unity
4.0(1) (with much of it still relevant to 3.x versions) and includes a
number of basic to advanced example scenarios that can be solved in Unity.
You'll find a few things in here that are not documented at all (i.e. the
ability to insert variables into dial strings) and some "under the covers"
explanations of why things are they way they are. 77 page Word document.

with much more information) in the "Cisco Unity Deployment and Solutions

| Administering Unity 4.x programmatically
(Updated 11/4/2003) |
Sometime by the end of the year or early 2003 I hope to have

queries in Unity 4.0. Programming examples in VB will be provided
and I'll have links to complete VB projects that can be downloaded and
used out here.
