* 32 hours of voicemail storage is available by default across all user configurations. Any combination of personal mailboxes and
general delivery mailboxes can be used.
** There are 20 simultaneous sessions available between IMAP Client and IMAP server. If all 20 sessions are used up, the
remaining session requests will be rejected by the IMAP server. IMAP clients will automatically attempt to establish session with the
server once some of the server ports are freed up. This does not limit the number of IMAP clients to 20.
Basic Call Center Capabilities
The Cisco UC 540 supports basic automatic call distribution (BACD) that can help answer outside calls with
greetings and menus and allow callers to select the appropriate departments. BACD also provides managed call
queues for calls that are waiting to be answered. Table 7 lists the BACD capabilities of the UC 540.

In addition to BACD, the Cisco UC 540 integrates with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX). UCCX works
with up to a maximum of 12 users (agents and supervisor combined) on the UC 540.
Voice Resource Utilization
The Cisco UC 540 includes four digital signal processors (DSPs) that enable digitized voice processing on the
platform. The DSP resources available on the platform are used for various unified communications features, namely
support of analog and digital VICs, prescheduled or ad hoc voice conference calls, and translation of digitized voice
from a less complex codec (such as g711) to a more complex codec (such as g729)—typically used for deployments
that use IP trunking (SIP or H.323) for PSTN access or multisite interconnection.
Each DSP can support 16 g711 channels or 8 g729 channels. This enables a total of 64 g711 channels on the Cisco
UC 540. Table 8 indicates the DSP resource utilization based on the feature. Tables 9 and 10 show a few
deployment scenarios based on the combination of these features.
