About this document
The following section describes the Multimedia Applications Server Interface,
and provides instructions on how to set it up, including administration and
monitoring. It also includes a section on troubleshooting.
You need to use both the DEFINITY Server system administration terminal
(‘‘SAT’’) and the MMCX administration terminal to administer MASI. This
document describes what you need to do at the DEFINITY Server SAT. It also
occasionally mentions administration that you must do at the MMCX
administration terminal. For more detailed MMCX information, see the MMCX
Technical Reference.
List of terms
This is a list of terms that are specific to MASI, or that have meanings in the
context of MASI that are not standard.
■ chgmasi — The command you use to administer MASI at the MMCX
administration terminal.
■ Interserver — Connections between MMCX terminals on different
MMCX servers/nodes.
■ MASI domain — A MASI domain consists of a MultiVantage system and
one or more MASI nodes that share the same dial plan. That is, the
extension numbers on the MMCX are known to MultiVantage, and fit in
the MultiVantage dial plan.
■ MASI interworking — MASI interworking refers to the completion of a
voice connection within a MultiVantage system, involving at least one
MASI terminal and a MASI path.
■ MASI link — The connection between the MMCX and the Avaya
MultiVantage.
■ MASI node — A single MMCX server. You may connect more than one
MASI node to a MultiVantage system. Each node has a separate number.
This node number needs to be consistent whenever referring to a specific
MMCX server.
■ MASI non-interworking — MASI non-interworking refers to the
completion of a call by MMCX, not involving a MASI path.
■ MASI path — The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) B-channels
between MMCX and Avaya MultiVantage in a MASI environment. Paths
are used for voice and data connections between Avaya MultiVantage and
MMCX.
