Transfer
MASI terminals cannot transfer calls to MultiVantage stations, and cannot transfer
a call to another MASI terminal if the call involves a MultiVantage station.
Conferencing
Conferences can involve both MASI terminals and MultiVantage stations, and
either one may initiate the conference. MultiVantage stations participate in such
conferences in voice-only mode. If an MMCX user initiates a conference that
involves MultiVantage stations, the conference will drop when the initiator drops
from the call. If a MultiVantage station initiates the conference, that station may
drop without affecting the other conferees.
Status tracking - terminals and trunks
Avaya MultiVantage tracks the active/idle status of all MASI terminals, and
monitors traffic over MMCX interfaces.
Trunk groups
For MASI purposes, there are two kinds of trunk groups: the ISDN-PRI trunk
groups that serve as paths for establishing calls between MultiVantage stations or
trunks and MASI terminals or interfaces, and the remote trunks that are interfaces
from the MMCX to other entities. Each MASI remote trunk group appears to the
switch as a single unit, with no concept of members within the group.
NOTE:
You cannot test, busy out, or release MASI remote trunk groups, since you
cannot dial a MASI remote trunk TAC from the Avaya DEFINITY Server.
The TAC merely identifies the trunk to the switch for status and CDR.
You cannot administer MASI trunks as part of MultiVantage route patterns.
Interactions & Unsupported Features
We can generalize feature interactions to some extent. For example, since there
are no buttons available to a MASI terminal, any feature that requires a button is
also not available. MASI cannot support features that require the user to dial a
trunk access code for a MASI remote trunk, or a feature access code other than
AAR/ARS. The MMCX dial plan may contain only those feature access codes
that are supported.
!
CAUTION:
DO NOT ADMINISTER the following features! The following features are not
supported for use over the MASI link, and Avaya cannot be responsible for the results if
you attempt to administer them.
