Abstract
A method and system of an embodiment of the present invention may involve receiving an invite message at a network port of a device to initiate a communication session with the device; identifying an address associated with the invite message; when the address corresponds to a first address, performing a first session initiation process to establish first communications via an audio port of the device; and when the address corresponds to a second address, performing a second session initiation process to establish second communications via the audio port of the device; wherein the second session initiation process differs from the first session initiation process. In addition, access to the audio port may involve determining a priority of the invite message; rejecting the invite message when the priority of the invite message is inferior relative to a priority of a current dialog; and accepting the invite message when the priority of the invite request is superior to the priority of the current dialog.
