1. Introduction
The purpose of this Application Notes is to validate interoperability of Avaya Aura® Messaging,
Avaya Aura® Communication Manager and Avaya Aura® Session Manager with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager (UCM) via SIP Trunks. Cisco users have mailboxes defined in Avaya
Aura® Messaging which they can access via a dedicated pilot number. The sample network is shown in Figure 1, where the Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the Cisco
7911G / 7941G / 7960G IP Telephones. Avaya Aura® Messaging consists of Avaya Messaging
Application Server and Avaya Message Storage Server resident on the same Avaya server. All inter-system calls are routed via SIP trunks by Avaya Aura® Session Manager which can support flexible inter-system call routing based on dialed number, calling number and system location, and can also provide protocol adaptation to allow for multi-vendor systems to interoperate.
Avaya Aura® Session Manager is managed by a separate Avaya Aura® System Manager, which can manage multiple Avaya Aura® Session Managers.
