Chapter 5 Operator and Support Desk Orientation
Support Desk Orientation
Using the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator
An operator who is responsible for changing call handler greetings for the organization can use the
Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator when it is not practical to change a greeting in Cisco Unity
Connection Administration. For example, if the office is unexpectedly closed because of bad weather,
the operator can call from home to use the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator to enable the alternate
Opening Greeting, or to rerecord a call handler greeting stating that the office is closed. For information
on using the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator, see the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity
Connection, at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
Using the Cisco Unity Broadcast Message Administrator
If an operator will be responsible for sending recorded announcements to everyone in an organization
(or to particular location(s) within an organization), explain how to access and use the Cisco Unity
Broadcast Message Administrator to send broadcast messages. For information on using the Cisco Unity
Broadcast Message Administrator, see the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection, at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
Support Desk Orientation
Support desk orientation should address the same points as user and operator orientation, but in greater
detail. Support desk staff must be familiar with how users and operators use Cisco Unity Connection,
and the common problems that users may encounter when using Connection. Instead of using the
Connection server, it may be helpful to set up a test server that support desk staff can use to browse to
Cisco Unity Connection Administration, and troubleshoot and test client applications.
To prepare for possible calls to the support desk at your organization, familiarize the support desk staff
with the resources listed in the “Support Desk Resources” section below, and with the potential user
concerns and misconceptions listed in the “Potential User Concerns and Misconceptions” section on
page 5-3. (See also the“Operator Orientation” section on page 5-1 and the “User Orientation” chapter.)
