Understanding the Multimedia Complex
1-number access
1-number access permits originating users to make voice or multimedia calls to a Basic multimedia
complex by dialing the same number for either type of call. The number may be the voice station
extension or the data module extension. If the incoming call is a voice call, Avaya Communication
Manager directs it to the telephone. If the incoming call is 56K or 64K data call, Avaya Communication
Manager recognizes it as such and sends it to the multimedia endpoint. Likewise, if a voice call is
addressed to the data extension, the system recognizes this and directs the call to the voice station.
Calls originating on the same server as the Basic mode complex destination may always use 1-number
access for voice or video. In order to take advantage of 1-number access for calls originating from a
remote location, the incoming calls must arrive over ISDN-PRI trunks. If the system is setup with
separate data non-PRI digital facilities multimedia calls must be made to the data extension.
AVD
(alternate voice/data) trunk groups cannot be used to provide 1-number access with MMCH. If the
AVD trunk group has a BCC of 0, all calls arriving over the AVD trunk to the Basic mode complex will
be assumed to be voice calls. If the AVD trunk group has a BCC of 1 or 4, all calls arriving over the AVD
trunk to the Basic mode complex will be assumed to be multimedia calls.
Originating voice calls
All voice calls are originated at the voice station.
Originating multimedia calls
For a Basic mode complex, multimedia calls are normally originated at the user’s multimedia equipped
PC. These multimedia calls use the associated station’s COR/COS.
The voice station of a Basic multimedia complex may also use the mm-call button or FAC, and the
mm-multinbr button or FAC to originate multimedia calls. When these methods are used, a multimedia
call is originated from the voice station. In order for the Basic multimedia complex to receive video, the
user must make a call from the H.320 DVC system to the voice station of the complex or must make a
multimedia call from the voice station to the H.320 DVC. This allows the station to spontaneously add
themselves or other parties to a multimedia conference.

H.320 DVC system GUI.
The normal way for a Basic multimedia complex endpoint to
originate a multimedia call is through the vendor provided user interface. Generally, digits to dial
are entered, speed is selected and the call originates from the DVC system. The voice station is
not involved in such as origination.
Any voice station may use the following mechanisms to originate a multimedia call from the
voice station. For stations that are not part of a multimedia complex, video cannot be provided.
For voice stations that are part of a Basic multimedia complex, video is not provided until a
multimedia call is made from the complex’s H.320 DVC system to the voice station or a
multimedia call is made from the voice station to the H.320 DVC system. Video is automatically
included for Enhanced multimedia complexes.

mm-call (Multimedia Call) button
. If the station has an mm-call button administered, the user
goes off-hook and selects the mm-call button. The user may select the mm-call 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-call button. The speakerphone will automatically be placed off-hook and
dialtone will be heard. Upon selection of the mm-call button, the mm-call status lamp (green
LED) should become solid.
