3. 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.
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 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.
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. The section below on the
mm-multinbr button/FAC provides information on originating a 2B call where the destination
has a different address for each B-channel.
Note:
The mm-call feature access code is generally used by stations that are part of an
Note:
Enhanced multimedia complex, but may be used by any station to originate a
multimedia call.
4. 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.
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
Note:
Enhanced multimedia complex, but may be used by any station to originate a
dual address multimedia call.
