Data Trunk Groups
Data trunk groups may be used to carry H.320 calls of a fixed (administered) bearer capability.
Hold
The voice station and multimedia endpoint of a Basic complex are each independent devices with respect
to call control. When a Basic multimedia complex voice station executes hold only the voice station is
held. If the user has conferenced their multimedia endpoint into a multimedia conference, activating hold
will not
disconnect the multimedia endpoint from the conference, it will only disconnect the Basic
multimedia complex voice station. Executing hold with an Enhanced mode complex will fully disconnect
voice and video from the current active call.
Hunt Groups using Basic Mode complexes
Since Basic mode complexes may receive point to point multimedia calls at the DVC system and voice
calls to the station simultaneously, the voice station extension may be placed in any normal voice hunt
group or ACD skill and the data extension may be placed in a simple hunt group made up of only data
extensions.
Basic mode complex data extensions or stand-alone data extensions may be used to create simple data
hunt groups. Data extensions are not allowed in ACD hunt groups. Avaya recommends that you do not
mix voice and data stations in a hunt group.
If you want multimedia calls to hunt to multimedia endpoints (i.e. 2B point to point data hunting), put the
data extension in the hunt group. If you place the voice extension in a hunt group, only voice calls hunt to
that extension. Multimedia calls to a hunt group with a Basic mode voice station as the hunt group
member will not be offered to the DVC system of the Basic mode complex. If either the voice or data
extension of a Basic mode complex is busy, the entire complex is considered busy for hunting purposes.
In order to guarantee that all members of a voice hunt group or skill can receive voice or multimedia
calls, all members should have the H.320 field on the station screen set to y. Simple voice stations and
Basic complex mode voice stations will receive voice only. Enhanced mode stations will receive voice
and video.
The
MM Early Answer
field (on the Hunt Group screen) tells the system to answer the incoming
multimedia call and establish audio before it reaches the first member of the hunt group. Thus, when the
talk path is established, the caller is able to speak with an agent immediately. This is not necessary for
hunt groups comprised of data extensions.
Hunting, Other considerations
Agents that are part of a Basic mode complex may dial a feature access code to remove themselves from
availability (and to indicate that they are available again) from both the multimedia endpoint and the
telephone independently. This allows the voice member or the data member to be individually made
unavailable. To make the data extension unavailable, the agent must dial the FAC from the DVC system.
CMS measurements may indicate unusually slow ASA, because of the time required for the system to
establish early-answer before offering the call to an agent.
