Managing multimedia calling
555-233-506340 Issue 5 October 2002
For calls with a bandwidth of 2B, use of the mm-call button to originate
will cause the same destination address to be used for both channels of the
2B call. See the section below on the mm-multinbr button/FAC for
information on originating a 2B call where the destination has a different
address for each B-channel.
NOTE:
The mm-call feature access code is generally used by stations that are
part of an Enhanced multimedia complex, but may be used by any
station to originate a multimedia call.

mm-multinbr (Multimedia Multi-number) button. The mm-multinbr
button is similar to the mm-call button. It allows origination of a
multimedia call from a voice station. It is used when the destination being
dialed requires a different address for each of the 2 B-channels. An
example of this is Central Office provided ISDN-BRI. This type of BRI
line is provisioned with separate listed directory numbers for each
B-channel. In order to make a 2B multimedia call to such a device, two sets
of addresses must be entered.
The user goes off-hook and selects the mm-multinbr button. The user may
select the mm-multinbr button and then go off-hook. If the user has a
speakerphone on the station, the user may originate the call simply by
selecting the mm-multinbr button. The speakerphone will automatically be
placed off-hook and dialtone will be heard. Upon selection of the
mm-multinbr button, the mm-multinbr and mm-call (if present) status lamp
(green led) should become solid. The user now dials the first destination
address digits. The destination address may be provided by dialing digits,
using abbreviated dial entries, last number dialed, etc. The system will
provide dialtone after the first address has been completed. The user now
dials the second destination address digits. The destination address may be
provided by dialing digits, using abbreviated dial entries, last number
dialed, etc. After the 2nd address has been collected the mm-multinbr
status lamp will go off.
Originating a multimedia call with the mm-multinbr button will originate a
call according to the Default Multimedia Parameters selected on the
System Parameters Features screen. This default parameter will be either
2x56 or 2x64. The bearer capability of the multimedia calls will either be
56K or 64K and the bandwidth will be 2B channels.
NOTE:
The mm-multinbr feature button is generally used by stations that are
part of an Enhanced multimedia complex, but may be used by any
station to originate a dual address multimedia call.
