Multimedia Call Handling - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

If the far-end path termination number is incorrect, you should observe MASI-PTH error 513. To
resolve, correct administration using the MASI Path Parameters screen.
If the Layer 3 TSC is not administered properly or is out of service, you should observe errors
(but no alarms) raised against TSC-ADM. Verify the signaling group administration and follow
normal escalation procedures for TSC-ADM.
If the TSC fails to come up even through Layer 2 Signaling Group and below pass tests, you
can run test tsc-administered <group number> to force a server heartbeat test, or
simply wait 5 to 10 minutes for the link to recover. This situation might occur if the server
running Communication Manager is rebooted or if the MASI interface is administered before the
MMCX is properly administered.
You might want to use the busy port and release port commands to unlock things if
features are not working.

Multimedia Call Handling

Multimedia Call Handling (MMCH) enables users to control voice, video, and data
transmissions using a telephone and PC. Users can conduct video conferences and route calls
like a standard voice call. They can also share PC applications to collaborate with others
working from remote sites.
Operations in Basic or Enhanced modes
There are two distinct levels of functionality: Basic and Enhanced. The Basic mode of operation
treats a standard-protocol H.320 multimedia call as a data call. If the call is redirected, it is
converted to a voice call. As a voice call, certain features are enabled, such as coverage, voice
mail, and multiparty video conferencing.
The Enhanced mode of operation allows a multifunction telephone to control a multimedia call
as if it were a standard voice call. Spontaneous video conferencing, call forwarding, coverage,
hold, transfer and park, along with many routing features, are available to multimedia calls. Both
modes of operation allow data collaboration between multiple parties using the T.120 standard
protocol.
