/mcpDescription Parameter This parameter specifies whether devices use MLPP tones and special displays to indicate MLPP precedence calls. To enable MLPP indication across the enterprise, set this parameter to MLPP Indication turned on. The default is MLPP Indication turned off. MLPP Indication Status This parameter determines whether devices should apply preemption and preemption signaling (such as preemption tones) to accommodate higher precedence calls. To enable MLPP preemption across the enterprise, set this parameter to Forceful Preemption. The default is No preemption allowed. MLPP Preemption Setting In a precedence call, if the called party subscribes to alternate party diversion, this timer indicates the seconds after which Cisco Unified Communications Manager will divert the call to the alternate party if the called party does not acknowledge preemption or does not answer a precedence call. The default is 30 seconds. Precedence Alternate Party Timeout This parameter determines whether a precedence call will forward to the voice-messaging system. If the parameter is set to False, precedence calls do not forward to the voice-messaging system. If the parameter is set to True, precedence calls forward to the voice-messaging system. For MLPP, the recommended setting for this parameter is False, as users, not the voice-messaging system, should always answer precedence calls. The default is False. Use Standard VM Handling For Precedence Calls Configure a Partition for Multilevel Precedence and Preemption Configure a partition to create a logical grouping of directory numbers (DNs) and route patterns with similar reachability characteristics. Devices that are typically placed in partitions include DNs and route patterns. These entities associate with DNs that users dial. For simplicity, partition names usually reflect their characteristics. Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Call Routing > Class of Control > Partition. Step 2 Click Add New to create a new partition. Step 3 In the Partition Name, Description field, enter a name for the partition that is unique to the route plan. Partition names can contain alphanumeric characters, as well as spaces, hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). See the online help for guidelines about partition names. Step 4 Enter a comma (,) after the partition name and enter a description of the partition on the same line.
