This document describes Multiple Address Appearance (MAA) for OpenStage@Asterisk. The Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA) has defined terms for VoIP telephony features [1] which slightly differ from the Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN) wording.

Page 7: Functional Overview
Functional Overview Motivation A telephone is normally associated with a directory number, or in general, with SIP: an AoR. This number is used for placing calls to this telephone and for displaying the telephone's, resp. user's identity when placing calls to another party. This number is also used when more than one call appearance is supported due to additional features, like call waiting. -
Page 8: User Experience
User Experience MAA is automatically activated if the phone has line keys configured, thus the phone works as MAA phone ‘out of the box’. Line key administration is done by the administrator; the user has no influence on these settings. Depending on the settings, the phone will react slightly different in basic user interactions. - Page 9 Line Presentation Tabs User address appearance OpenStage Idle Screen for MAA. The idle screen contains the additional line management row. Navigation between the different tabs can be done using the phone application button or the left arrow key on the TouchGuide. The lines are represented by the FPK keys on the right hand side starting with the primary line key on top.

Idle line The phone will use the next available idle line. Lines are configured with a priority order. The phone will use the order to use the next free line.

Page 16: Administrative Options
Administrative Options The MAA is a subset of the SEN proprietary MLA. Therefore the administrative settings are used in both scenarios. The explained configuration parameters are reduced to the MAA needed settings. A deviating usage of the parameter will enable the MLA, which is only supported by the SEN OpenScape Voice platform. - Page 17 The Originating line preference parameter determines which line will be used when the user goes off-hook or starts on-hook dialling. Remark: When a terminating call exists, the terminating line preference takes priority over originating line preference. The following preferences can be configured: "idle line": An idle line is selected.
- Page 18 Preselect mode determines the phone’s behaviour when a call is active, and another call is ringing. If the parameter is set to "Single button", the user can accept the call a single press on the line key. If it is set to "Preselection", the user must first press the line key to select it and then press it a second time to accept the call.

Page 19: Fpk Line Key Programming
Line action mode: Determines the consequence for an established connection when the line key is pressed. Value range: "Hold", "Release" Default: "Hold" Show focus: Determines whether the line key LED blinks or is steady when it is in use. Value range: "Yes", "No"... - Page 20 Every keyset must necessarily have a line key for the primary line. To configure the key of the primary line, set Primary line to "true". Only one single line can be the primary line. Enabling the primary line option will disable a possibly previous configured primary line. If Ring on/off is checked, the line will ring when an incoming call occurs, and a popup will appear on the display.
- Page 21 Ring delay: Time interval in seconds after which the line starts ringing on an incoming call. Default: 0 Selection order: Priority assigned to the line for the selection of an outgoing line. Default: 0 Address: Address/phone number which has a corresponding entry on the SIP server/registrar. Realm: Domain wherein user id and password are valid.
