The user now dials the destination address digits. The destination address may be provided by
dialing digits, using abbreviated dial entries, last number dialed, station busy indicators, etc.
Originating a multimedia call with the mm-call button will originate a call according to the
Default Multimedia Parameters selected on the Feature-Related System Parametersscreen. This
default parameter will be either 2x56 or 2x64. The bearer capability of the multimedia calls will
either be 56K or 64K and the bandwidth will be 2B channels.
For calls with a bandwidth of 2B, use of the mm-call button to originate will cause the same
destination address to be used for both channels of the 2B call. See the section below on the
mm-multinbr button/FAC for information on originating a 2B call where the destination has a
different address for each B-channel.
NOTE:
The mm-call feature button is generally used by stations that are part of an Enhanced
multimedia complex, but may be used by any station to originate a multimedia call.

Multimedia Call feature access code. For stations that do not have an administered mm-call
button, the Multimedia call feature access code may be used instead. The user goes off-hook on
the station, waits for dialtone, then dials the MM-call FAC, receives dialtone again and then dials
the call normally. The destination address may be provided by dialing digits, using abbreviated
dial entries, last number dialed, station busy indicators, etc.

mm-multinbr (Multimedia Multi-number) button. The mm-multinbr button is similar to the
mm-call button. It allows origination of a multimedia call from a voice station. It is used when the
destination being dialed requires a different address for each of the 2 B-channels. An example of
this is Central Office provided ISDN-BRI. This type of BRI line is provisioned with separate
listed directory numbers for each B-channel. In order to make a 2B multimedia call to such a
device, two sets of addresses must be entered.
The user goes off-hook and selects the mm-multinbr button. The user may select the mm-multinbr
button and then go off-hook. If the user has a speakerphone on the station, the user may originate
the call simply by selecting the mm-multinbr button. The speakerphone will automatically be
placed off-hook and dialtone will be heard. Upon selection of the mm-multinbr button, the
mm-multinbr and mm-call (if present) status lamp (green led) should light steadily. The user now
dials the first destination address digits. The destination address may be provided by dialing
digits, using abbreviated dial entries, last number dialed, etc. The system will provide dialtone
after the first address has been completed. The user now dials the second destination address
digits. The destination address may be provided by dialing digits, using abbreviated dial entries,
last number dialed, etc. After the 2nd address has been collected the mm-multinbr status lamp will
go off.
