Installing Popbeamer to work w/ unity express

Its a straight forward install but you must remember to
1. Login to CUE and create imapacces group.
2. In CUE go to voice mail tab and check the enable integrated messaging box.
3. Make sure your users are in the imapaccess group and that they have a password set that you know(not pin, pin is for checking voice mail). The user password in CUE is the IMAP password in popadmin.
4. Also in CUE, go to voice mail tab, VM configuration, and check play caller id for external callers. This makes the email appear with caller id info.

Multi page faxes are failing. cisco 2811 w/ fxs card

Users at a site were saying multi page faxes would come through. This was because of the slips on PRI. This is common if you are missing the network-clock-select T1 command on router.

1. Used sh controller T1 0/0/0 (pri interface) and looked for slips.
2. Cleared counters and did same command.
3. Used network-clock-select T1 0/0/0.
4. Check for slips again because they should stop now.
