Managing MultiMedia Calling
Understanding the Multimedia Complex
Originating a multimedia call with the mm-multinbr button will originate a call according to the
Default Multimedia Parameters selected on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen. 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.
NOTE:
The mm-multinbr 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 dual address
multimedia call.
5
Multimedia Multi-number Call feature access code. For stations that do not have an
administered mm-multinbr button, the Multimedia Multi-number call feature access code may be
used instead. 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 dials the MM-multinbr feature access code. Upon dialing of the
MM-multinbr FAC, the mm-call (if present) status lamp (green led) should become solid. 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.
Originating a multimedia call with the MM-multinbr FAC will originate a call according to the
Default Multimedia Parameters selected on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen. 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.
NOTE:
The mm-multinbr FAC is generally used by stations that are part of an Enhanced
multimedia complex, but may be used by any station to originate a dual address
multimedia call.
6
Multimedia parameter selection feature access code. This FAC is used to originate a
multimedia call that wishes to use a different bearer and bandwidth than the system default. For
example, if the system has a default multimedia parameter of 2x64 and the user wishes to make a
call to a destination that is known to only have 56K digital facilities, the MM parameter selection
FAC can be used to select a bearer and bandwidth of 2x56 for this specific call.
The MM parameter selection FAC may be used in conjunction with the mm-multinbr button or
FAC to make a single or dual address multimedia call at the desired bearer and bandwidth. The
user goes off-hook and dials the MM-parameter selection feature access code. Dialtone is
returned. The user enters a single digit, 1 or 2, where 1 = 2x64, 2 = 2x56. All other digits will
produce reorder. Dialtone is returned. Upon dialing of the MM-parameter selection FAC, the
mm-call (if present) status lamp (green led) should become solid. The user may indicate a
dual-address call at this point with the mm-multinbr button or FAC. The user now dials one or two
sets of destination address digits. The destination address may be provided by dialing digits, using
abbreviated dial entries, last number dialed, etc.
NOTE:
The mm-parameter selection FAC is generally used by stations that are part of an
Enhanced multimedia complex, but may be used by any station to originate a dual address
multimedia call.
