Introduction to the MultiVantage
system
This section provides you with general information about Avaya MultiVantage
and some of the system-wide functions. It explains how to understand your
configuration, read and use your dial plan, and shows you how to make simple
changes such as adding extension ranges. This section also explains how to assign
feature access codes (‘‘FAC’’).
Understanding your configuration
At a very basic level, the Avaya MultiVantage consists of hardware to perform call
processing, and the software to make it run. You use the administration interface
to let the system know what hardware you have, where it is located, and what you
want the software to do with it.
You can find out which circuit packs are in the system and which ports are
available by entering the command
list configuration all. There are variations on
this command that display different types of configuration information. Use the
help function to experiment, and see which command works for you.
