Chapter 12 Configuring Message Notification
Message Notification Settings
The system provides a predefined table that can be modified by the administrator. The table applies
to all subscribers and groups on the system. A typical use of this table is to prevent the use of
long-distance or international numbers for message notifications.
The system checks the restriction table when the subscriber is assigning phone numbers to phone
devices (such as a cell phone, home phone, or work phone), to a numeric pager, and before making
an outcall. If a phone number is listed in the table as restricted, the system sends a message to the
subscriber.
If a subscriber has a number configured for a device and the administrator later restricts that number
system-wide, notification calls will not be made to that number. The administrator must remove the
number for the individual subscriber.
Cisco Unity Express provides a default restriction table that defines two requirements:
– Minimum and maximum number of digits, including access codes, allowed in a phone number.
The minimum is 1 digit and the maximum is 30 digits. The default is 1 digit.
– A maximum of 10 dial strings that represent the restricted numbers. Each string consists of a
call pattern and a setting that specifies if a phone number matching the pattern is restricted or
not.
Valid patterns can include digits 0 to 9, asterisk (*), and dot (.). The * indicates a match of zero
or more digits. Each dot serves as a placeholder for 1 digit.
Valid setting values are allowed or disallowed.
When a subscriber tries to set up or change a phone number assigned to a device, the system
verifies that the number has the allowed number of digits. If it does not, the subscriber receives
a system message.
If the number of digits is acceptable, the system checks the number against the dial patterns in
the restriction table, starting with the first pattern (preference 1). If the number does not match
the first pattern, the system checks the next pattern in the table (preference 2), and so forth until
a match is found. The system either permits or restricts the call as specified in the dial string.
The default restriction table permits all phone numbers to be used, as shown in Table 12-1.
You can change only the preference and permission of this pattern.
The restriction table can contain identical dial strings, which have the same call pattern and
permission setting. This includes the default pattern. You can delete any of these dial strings if the
table contains at least one default pattern.
Table 12-2 illustrates a restriction table with international numbers and restricted numbers.
