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 Communication Manager feature functionality to a Multimedia Communications
Exchange (
MMCX
) system. MASI architecture fits the client/server model, where Avaya
Communication Manager functions as a server for MMCX clients. Examples of features supported by
MASI include call detail recording (
CDR
), AUDIX/INTUITY voice mail integration, and
Automatic
Alternate Routing (AAR)
/
Automatic Route Selection (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
Avaya Communication Manager/MASI features:
•
Basic Call (Place/Drop) — Avaya Communication Manager tracks the status of all calls placed to
or from a MASI terminal.
•
Call Detail Recording — Avaya Communication Manager tracks calls to and from MASI
terminals and can produce call records that indicate if a call uses MASI.
•
Call Coverage — Avaya Communication Manager tracks MMCX calls that are sent to coverage.
A Communication Manager coverage path can contain both MASI terminals and Communication
Manager stations.
•
Conference — Avaya Communication Manager tracks conference calls that involve MASI
terminals, if a Communication Manager station originates the conference. Conferences that
involve MASI terminals and Communication Manager stations are voice-only. If the
Communication Manager station originates the call, the caller can use the consultative form of
conference or transfer.
•
World Class Routing (
AAR
or
ARS
) — Calls from MASI terminals can take advantage of Avaya
Communication Manager World Class Routing capabilities.
•
Voice messaging access to AUDIX/INTUITY — MMCX users can take advantage of AUDIX
voice messaging, and receive message waiting indication.
•
MMCX trunking — By assigning trunk access codes to interfaces from the MMCX to other
MMCXs or the PSTN, Avaya Communication Manager can monitor traffic over those interfaces.
