• Connect your smart device over Bluetooth or USB to the media station when you want to use it
as your audio device.
Interactions with other Avaya apps
Avaya recommends that you only use one Avaya app at a time because of interactions between the
apps.
The media station operates as a Bluetooth speakerphone for Avaya Flare
®
Communicator for iPad
Devices, Avaya one-X
®
Communicator, and other Avaya mobile apps. The media station does not
support native call control of those apps.
When the media station detects that another app is logged in, the media station logs out as an
active registered station and functions as a Bluetooth speakerphone. You must manually register
the media station. See the following scenario for this interaction:
1. You have an iPhone with the Avaya Media Station and Avaya one-X
®
Mobile apps installed.
2. You connect the device to the media station with the Avaya Media Station app and you sign
on with extension 1234.
3. The Avaya one-X
®
Mobile app attempts to register with the same extension.
4. The media station signs out from extension 1234 and the Avaya Media Station app opens on
the smart device.
5. You sign in again to extension 1234 using the Avaya Media Station app.
When you have Avaya EC500 administered on a smartphone that you register with the media
station, Avaya recommends that you disable Avaya EC500. If you do not disable Avaya EC500, the
following might occur:
• You receive a SIP call on the media station at the same time you receive a cellular network call
on your smartphone.
• If you try to answer the SIP call by pressing the
Call/Volume
button or picking up the handset,
you connect to the cellular network call.
• This interaction occurs because the default smartphone app of iOS and Android devices put
focus on the cellular call. This means that you cannot answer the SIP call when you also
enable Avaya EC500 on the smartphone.
Sharing the same extension on softphone apps and the media station (Avaya Aura
®
only)
If you log on to the same extension on both your softphone app and the media station app, you will
see the following behavior:
• When your smart device disconnects from the media station, the two endpoints operate
independently and have a Multiple Device Access (MDA) relationship between them.
• When you connect your smart device to the media station with USB or Bluetooth, the media
station automatically logs out, or unregisters, the registered extension. The message
Prevent
Dual App
on both the handset and media station app.
• When you disconnect the smart device from the media station, the media station automatically
logs on, or registers, with the previously provisioned extension.
