Digit collection issues

Last Updated : Aug 06, 2015 |

Users are unable to log in to Avaya Aura® MS services because of problems with digit connection.

The possible reasons for digit collection issues include:

  • The client may connect to Avaya Aura® MS through a PSTN or other form of internet gateway device. In this case you must configure the gateway device to properly translate digits in a format that negotiates with Avaya Aura® MS. The following are the supported digit signaling formats:

    • In-band DTMF tones

    • RFC 2833 telephone events

    • SIP INFO digits

  • To communicate digits, the client and the gateway device must use the same digit signaling formats.

  • Some gateways that translate in-band digits into events, such as telephone-event or INFO digits, fail to completely clamp the received tones. These tones are heard by Avaya Aura® MS and can trigger unexpected behavior.

  • If necessary, collect SIP messaging to resolve the nature of digit communication issue between the client, gateway, and Avaya Aura® MS.

  • In some cases, such as conferencing, clients unintentionally send digits into the conference through their microphone. The system detects these digits as conference controls in the conference. For example, a person near a conference user dials a number on a speakerphone. The digits can carry in the conference over the microphone of the active user.

  • When users report digit collection issues, ask about the client type and surroundings to identify the cause of any unexpected conference behaviors.
