Introduction
The Cisco Unity Connection Telephony Interface (CUTI) API is a web service interface for telephone record and playback on Cisco Unity Connection systems. CUTI is designed to provide a simple, stable method of accessing telephone record and playback functionality on Connection systems through a standards-based interface using XML and HTTPS.
You can use CUTI to do the following:
- Initiate dialout to a phone device
- Play and record greetings, messages, and other audio
- Control playback speed and volume
- Stop and resume playback and record
Benefits
With CUTI, you have the ability to record audio as needed by using a phone, providing additional functionality besides uploading .wav files. You can use CUTI to do the following:
- As part of a User or Admin interface, record audio as part of a name, greeting, or message
- Play secure messages
- Record messages using phone as a media device
Technical Details
CUTI was developed using the latest advances in web-based interfaces: it is a REST interface that standardizes operations such as add, delete, and modify. The XML comes with standard XML schema definitions that are annotated with information about what is in them.
As a web-based interface, CUTI is independent of operating system and programming language, and does not require any client libraries to use.
Getting Started with CUTI
In order to begin developing with the Cisco Unity Connection CUTI API, you will need to obtain the following:
Hardware
- Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) for Cisco Unity Connection version 8.0 and later
- For detailed hardware requirements, see the Cisco Unity Connection 8.x Supported Platforms List
Software
- Cisco Unity Connection Software Ordering
- Not for Resale Kits (Must be eligible to purchase)
- Select Unified Communications System Release Kit
Discounts for some of the required hardware and software may be available for participants in the Cisco Technology Developer Program.
We recommend that all developers have an up-to-date Cisco Developer Services support agreement. This provides the developer with access to professional support and assistance for application development.
