Cisco Unity Express Greeting lenght

Gary Butler
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

How can we change the greeting size in CUE? Our client is complaining that they need to be able to create a greeting longer than 15 seconds. I checked documentation which suggests the command to use is 'voicemail recording time' but this doesn't seem to apply to greetings at all.

Thanks,

Gary

Hi Gary,

As per the following

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity_exp/administrator/AA_and_VM/guide/vmadmin_book/AAttnd.html#wp1011720

Recording an Auto-Attendant Greeting or Prompt File

Two methods are available to create auto-attendant greeting and prompt files:

Create a.wav file with the following format: G.711 u-law, 8 kHz, 8 bit, Mono. The file cannot be larger than 1 MB (about 2 minutes). After recording the greeting, use the GUI or Cisco Unity Express CLI ccn copy url command to copy the file in to the Cisco Unity Express system. See the next section, "Uploading the Auto-Attendant Greeting or Prompt File," for the upload procedure.

Use the AvT on the TUI to record the greeting or prompt. Dial the AvT telephone number and select the option to record a greeting. When finished recording, save the file. AvT automatically saves the file in Cisco Unity Express.

The AvT prompt filename has the format UserPrompt_DateTime.wav, for example: UserPrompt_11152003144055.wav. You may want to use CLI commands or GUI options to rename the file with a meaningful name.

Cisco recommends using the AvT on the TUI to record greetings and prompts because the AvT provides higher sound quality compared to .wav files recorded using other methods.

Thanks for your reply Manish. I am actually looking at the situation where a user calls into their own mailbox and wants to record a new greeting. You wouldnt normally expect them to provide a wav to change their own greeting! They need to record a greeting longer than 15 seconds but is this a hard limit on mailboxes or is there a way to configure it so they can record for longer?

Please check the mailbox storage section of the following link

I cant see the information in that document which explains why we can only record 15 seconds of greeting.
