  • A valid Exchange recipient mailbox has been created and enabled for Unified Messaging.

  • A valid UM dial plan has been created.

  • A valid UM IP gateway has been created.

  • A valid UM hunt group has been created.

  • A valid UM mailbox policy has been created.

  • The UM server has been added to a UM dial plan.

  • The UM Test Phone application has been installed and correctly configured.

For more information about how to set up and configure the UM Test Phone application, see How to Set Up the Unified Messaging Test Phone.

Procedure

To test UM Call Answering by leaving a voice mail message for a user

  1. Open the Exchange UM Test Phone application by double-clicking ExchangeUMTestPhone.exe.

  2. Enter the phone number that you are using to connect to the UM server. This number is the pilot number of the Hunt Group object. Alternatively, you can leave this field empty.

  3. In Diversion settings, select the Diversion option and enter the extension number of the user's mailbox in the Diversion number field.

  4. Click Make Call to place the call to the user's extension.

    Note

    In Call Answering mode, the Exchange UM Test Phone application sends the extension number for the user.

  5. When you are prompted, record the voice message by using the microphone or by playing a .wav file.

  6. In the user interface for the Exchange UM Test Phone application, click Hang Up to disconnect the call after you complete your call.
