Selective conference mute only applies to trunk lines on the conference call, and
not to stations. Only one trunk line on the conference call can be selectively muted
at a time. This enhanced conferencing feature can be activated from any display
station with a “conf-dsp” button and an “fe-mute” button.
The selective conference mute feature works with any conference established
through Communication Manager, either a traditional 3 or 6 party conference or a
Meet-Me conference.
NOTE:
This feature requires that the enhanced conferencing feature be set to Y on
the “system-parameters customer-options” screen.
Multimedia calling
Multimedia calls are initiated with voice and video only. Once a call is
established, one of the parties may initiate an associated data conference to
include all of the parties on the call who are capable of supporting data. The data
conference is controlled by an adjunct device called an Expansion Services
Module (ESM).
Multimedia Application Server
Interface (ASI)
The multimedia Application Server Interface (ASA) provides a link between
Communication Manager and one or more multimedia communications eXchange
nodes. A Multimedia Communications Exchange (MMCX) is a stand-alone
multimedia call processor produced by Avaya. This link to Communication
Manager enhances the capabilities of each multimedia communications eXchange
system by enabling it to share some of the Communication Manager features.
In particular, the interface provides the following advantages:
■ Call Detail Recording (CDR) — This allows you to capture call detail
records so you can analyze the call patterns and usage of multimedia calls
just as Communication Manager administrators analyze normal calls.
■ Automatic Alternate Routing/Automatic Route Selection (AAR/ARS) —
This allows for the intelligent selection of the most cost-effective routing
for calls, based on available resources and your carrier preference. The
system may select public trunks through a DEFINITY
