Rolm 9751 9005/PIMG/Unity Connections MWI

I'm attempting to integrate a Rolm 9751 9005 to a Unity Connecitons via PIMG.  Unity is answering and accepting the message.  It indicated the MWI is on.  However, on the Rolm phone no MWI, no stuttertone.  In the PIMG, I never see the 2 MWI ports in use.  Of 8 ports on the PIMG 6 are set up for incoming while the last two ports are set up for outgoing/mwi.  All ports are green and enabled throughout the system.  Any ideas how to trouble shoot this?

We recently integrated our Unity Connection with a similar PIMG-RLM unit and our HiCom PBX. It wasn't easy, but in the end it worked out. We still have a problem with the MWI port going out of service every other day or so (an identified bug), but other than that, it's OK. We had a PBX vendor working closely with us, so we had that going for us as well. If you have a PBX vendor, it's worth paying them to come in and help troubleshoot.

That being said, here are some things you can try:

  • make sure you follow the integration guide to the letter. i remember missing one step that was at the bottom of one page and it drove us nuts!
  • use the appropriate port status monitor to see if Unity is actually sending out the MWI on/off commands
  • PBX's like the same port to turn off the MWI that turned it on. this is what port memory is all about. but honestly, i think port memory is a bit loosey-goosey. We've chosen to turn off port memory and simply enable only one port for MWI. problem solved.
  • that being said, you'll have to ensure you turn off all MWIs on the phones before you make this change in an attempt to synchronize, otherwise, you'll have issues
  • the incoming/outgoing ports have nothing to do with mwi, it's more to do with inbound calls and outbound calls (like TRAP, notification, etc).
  • plug a rolm phone into the port to see you can dial out to the extensions, if that fails, you've got PBX issues
  • the class of service on the PBX side has to be correct for each port. i remember that it needed the class of service for off-net access (but that could have just been our setup)

If that doesn't help, you will likely have to get the TAC involved, they can help quite a bit in this case. But you'll need an experienced PBX person (for us it was our vendor).
