Routing scenarios

Music on Hold, Meet Me Audio Conferencing, and Announcements services
that are offered to a domain are mapped to a specific pooled entity. Ad Hoc
Conferencing services are routed based on the location of the originating
client.
Ad Hoc Conferencing routing is assigned using the location hierarchy. The
physical location of the conference initiator determines the conference
server used. Users can update their location to receive service from
different server pools. When an Ad Hoc treatment is requested, the location
tree is consulted for service routing.
The Music on Hold service uses the subdomain of the call terminator to
determine which MAS to use. When this treatment is requested, the domain
tree of the call destination is used to determine service routing for the call.
Music files must be on the target server for successful call treatment.
Announcement services are routed for treatment based on the subdomain
of the call originator. Branding services are terminated based on the
subdomain of the call terminator. In each case, the subdomain hierarchy is
searched for the appropriate Media Application Server.
The Meet Me Audio Conferencing service routes calls based on the
subdomain of the conference initiator.
The IM Chat service is routed based on the domain of the chat originator.

Content store activation

Four Media Application Server Services (Meet Me Audio Conferencing,
Music on Hold, and Announcements) require access to the MAS Content
Store (CStore). Data associated with these applications reside on a single
CStore or mirrored pair of CStores within a pooled entity. A pooled entity
can contain any number of routes to Media Application Servers; however
only one (two if they are mirrored) has an active CStore. Activation of the
CStore occurs within the Media Application Server Console (see
"Activating CStore on the MAS Console" (page

.
Note: Nortel does not supply Meet-Me-Audio prompts, Music-on-Hold
music files, or Announcement files with the content store. The system
administrator must provide audio prompts, music, and announcement
files. These files must be loaded into the content store during the MAS
application install process.
