Managing multimedia calling
Multimedia Applications Server
Interface
The Multimedia Applications Server Interface (‘‘MASI’’) defines a protocol and a
set of operations that are used to extend Avaya MultiVantage feature functionality
to a Multimedia Communications Exchange (‘‘MMCX’’) system. MASI
architecture fits the client/server model, where the Avaya MultiVantage functions
as a server for MMCX clients. Examples of features supported by MASI include
call detail recording (‘‘CDR’’), AUDIX/I
NTUITY voice mail integration, and
Automatic Alternate Routing/Automatic Route Selection (AAR/ARS).
MMCX can make use of both MASI features and MMCX autonomous features.
Autonomous features are those that MMCX provides, even if MASI is not
enabled. This document does not discuss them unless there is a consideration for
MASI administration.
Some autonomous MMCX features:
■ Basic Call (Place/Drop)
■ Call Coverage
■ Conference
■ Transfer
