Terminology

Avaya Communication Manager is the application that provides call control and the Avaya telephony
feature set. This application was referred to as MultiVantage Software or as Avaya Call Processing (ACP)
in previous releases. The term Multivantage is still used in some CLI commands and in the Web interface.
In most of these cases, it is synonymous with Communication Manager.

field names.

Commands

Command variables are in bold italic type when they are part of what you must type, and in plain
italic type when they are not part of what you must type.
Example:
Type ch ma machine_name, where machine_name is the name of the call delivery machine.
