Data Restriction

Protects analog data calls from being disturbed by any of the system’s overriding or ringing features. It is administered at the system level to selected analog and multi-appearance telephones and trunk groups.

Administered Connections

Automatically establishes an end-to-end connection between two access or data endpoints based on administered attributes. This feature provides capabilities such as alarm notification, including an administrable alarm type and threshold; automatic restoration of connections established over a Software-Defined Data Network; ISDN-PRI trunk group [service may be referred to as ISDN-PRI (AC/AE) Service]; scheduled as well as continuous connections; and administrable-retry interval for failed connection attempts.

Multimedia Calling

Multimedia calls are initiated with voice and video only. Once a call is established, one of the parties may initiate an associated data conference to include all of the parties on the call who are capable of supporting data. The data conference is controlled by an adjunct device called an Expansion Services Module (ESM).

Multimedia Call Early Answer on

Vectors and Stations

Early Answer is a feature applied to multimedia calls in conjunction with conversion to voice. Early Answer:

■Answers the data call

■Establishes the multimedia protocol prior to completion of a converted call

■Ensures that a voice path to/from the originator is available when the (voice) call is answered

For an incoming call, Early Answer answers the dynamic service-link calls when the destination endpoint answers, unless Early Answer is specified during routing or termination processing.
