Station screen
After you have administered the BRI data module, use the Station screen to associate it with a
voice station to screen a multimedia complex. This is a one-to-one relationship: you can
administer only one station and one data endpoint per multimedia complex. Neither the voice
station, nor the data endpoint can be a member of another multimedia complex.
Note:
A BRI station cannot be part of a multimedia complex.
Note:
H.320 Conversion — Valid entries are y and n (default). This field is optional for
●
non-multimedia complex voice stations and for Basic multimedia complex voice stations. It
is mandatory for Enhanced multimedia complex voice stations. Because the system can
only handle a limited number of conversion calls, you may need to limit the number of
telephones with H.320 conversion. Enhanced multimedia complexes must have this flag
set to y.
For non-multimedia complex voice stations, setting this field to y allows H.320 calls to
convert to voice and alert at the stand-alone voice station. If the call is unanswered at the
voice station, the call will follow standard voice treatment. Any subsequent station that is
reached in the routing of this call, that is, coverage points, forwarded destinations, call
pickup members, and so forth, do not need to have the H.320 field enabled. The H.320 field
is only needed at the first station that may receive the H.320 call.
For Basic multimedia complex voice stations, setting this field to y allows H.320 calls to
convert to voice and alert at the Basic multimedia complex voice station after an attempt
has been made to offer the call to the H.320 DVC system. If the call is unanswered at the
H.320 DVC system, the call will alert at the voice station after 5 seconds or after the
administered number of rings as specified in the voice station's coverage path. If the call is
unanswered at the voice station, the call will follow standard voice treatment. Any
subsequent station that is reached in the routing of this call, that is, coverage points,
forwarded destinations, call pickup members, and so forth, do not need to have the H.320
field enabled. The H.320 field is only needed at the first station that may receive the H.320
call.
Service Link Mode - The service link is the combined hardware and software multimedia
●
connection between an Enhanced mode complex's H.320 DVC system and the Avaya
DEFINITY Server which terminates the H.320 protocol. A service link is never used by a
Basic mode complex H.320 DVC system. Connecting a service link will take several
seconds. When the service link is connected, it uses MMI, VC and system timeslot
resources. When the service link is disconnected it does not tie up any resources. The
Service Link Mode can be administered as either 'as-needed' or 'permanent' as described
below:
- As-Needed - Most non-call center multimedia users will be administered with this service
link mode. The as-needed mode provides the Enhanced multimedia complex with a
connected service link whenever a multimedia call is answered by the station and for a
period of 10 seconds after the last multimedia call on the station has been disconnected.
Having the service link stay connected for 10 seconds allows a user to disconnect a
multimedia call and then make another multimedia call without having to wait for the
service link to disconnect and re-establish.
