Procedure
To test a UM auto attendant

From the Tools menu, click Setup.
In Diversion settings, select the Diversion option, enter the auto attendant's number in the Number field, and then click OK.
Enter the telephone number that you're using to connect to the Unified Messaging server. This number is the pilot number of the UM hunt group. Alternatively, you can leave this field empty.
