You can view or configure the Unified Messaging (UM) properties for an existing user who's enabled for Unified Messaging. When you change a user's UM properties, you can control their access to various UM features. For example, you can enable or disable Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) or associate the user's mailbox with a different UM mailbox policy.

Prerequisites
- The existing Exchange user has been enabled for Unified
Messaging. For detailed steps, see Enable a User for
Unified Messaging.
- A UM dial plan has been created. For detailed steps, see
Create a UM Dial
Plan.
- A UM mailbox policy has been created. For detailed steps, see
Create a UM
Mailbox Policy.
Use the EMC to view or configure a UM-enabled user's properties
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "UM mailboxes" entry in the Unified Messaging Permissions topic.
- In the console tree, navigate to Recipient Configuration
> Mailbox.
- In the work pane, select the UM-enabled user that you want to
view or configure.
- In the action pane, click Properties.
- In the UM-enabled user's mailbox properties window, click the
Mailbox Features tab, click Unified Messaging, and
then click Properties.
- Use the Unified Messaging Properties page to view or
change the UM properties for an existing UM-enabled user:
- UM Mailbox Status This display-only
field shows the status of the user's mailbox. By default, when a
user is UM-enabled, the mailbox status is listed as Not locked
out. However, if the user has input an incorrect Outlook Voice
Access PIN multiple times, the status is listed as Locked
Out.
- Unified Messaging Mailbox Policy This
display-only field shows the name of the UM mailbox policy
associated with the UM-enabled user. You can specify the UM mailbox
policy to be associated with this UM mailbox by clicking the
Browse button.
- UM Extensions This box displays the
extension numbers and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and
E.164 addresses after the user has been enabled for Unified
Messaging. If you've associated the user with a Telephone
Extension dial plan, only the extension number configured for
the user appears in this box.
If you've associated the UM-enabled user with a SIP dial plan, an extension number and SIP address are listed. If you've associated the UM-enabled user with an E.164 dial plan, an extension number and E.164 address are listed.
- Enable for Automatic Speech
Recognition Select this option to specify
whether users can use ASR when they sign in to their mailbox. By
default, UM-enabled users can use voice commands when they use
Outlook Voice Access to access their mailbox.
Even if Outlook Voice Access users are speech-enabled, they must still use the keypad to enter their extension number, PIN, and personal options.
- Allow UM Calls from non-users Select
this option to specify whether to allow incoming calls from
unauthenticated callers through an auto attendant to be transferred
to the UM-enabled user. By default, this setting is enabled.
Enabling this setting allows callers from outside an organization
to be transferred to a user inside an organization.
The user's mailbox can still be accessed using directory searches. However, if an external caller tries to transfer to a user for whom this setting is disabled, the system will say, "I'm sorry, I am unable to transfer the call to this user." The caller is then transferred to the operator configured on the auto attendant.
This setting doesn't apply to callers who've signed in to their mailbox using Outlook Voice Access and are sending a voice message to a user.
- Allow faxes to be received Select this
option to specify whether a user is allowed to receive incoming
faxes. By default, this setting is enabled. However, it can be
disabled if you don't want the user to receive incoming faxes.
This setting is also configured on dial plans. If you enable this setting for a UM-enabled user, but the dial plan is configured to disable fax receiving, the UM-enabled user is unable to receive faxes.
- Diverted calls without a caller ID can leave a
message Select this option to specify whether,
for diverted calls without a caller ID, the caller is allowed to
leave a message. By default, this option is enabled. This enables
the UM-enabled user to accept anonymous calls from callers.
- Allow users to configure personal auto
attendants Select or clear this check box to
allow or prevent a user from creating personal auto attendants. If
this option is disabled on the UM dial plan or the UM mailbox
policy, this feature isn't available to UM-enabled users associated
with the UM mailbox policy. This option isn't available to
UM-enabled users that have a mailbox on an Exchange UM server. The
default setting is enabled.
- Personal operator extension Use this
field to specify the operator extension number for the user. By
default, an extension number isn't configured. The range for the
extension number is from 1 through 20 characters. This enables
incoming calls for the UM-enabled user to be forwarded to the
extension number that you specify in this field.
You can configure other types of operator extension numbers on dial plans and auto attendants. However, those extensions are generally meant for company-wide receptionists or operators. The personal operator extension setting could be used when an administrative assistant or personal assistant answers incoming calls before they're answered for a particular user.
- UM Mailbox Status This display-only
field shows the status of the user's mailbox. By default, when a
user is UM-enabled, the mailbox status is listed as Not locked
out. However, if the user has input an incorrect Outlook Voice
Access PIN multiple times, the status is listed as Locked
Out.
