A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive, at a network port of the device, an invite message to initiate a communication session;
• identify an address associated with the invite message,
• the address corresponding to a type of communication session associated with the communication session to be initiated;
• determine whether an existing communication session is established via an audio port of the device;
• determine, when the existing communication session is established via the audio port, whether the existing communication session is on hold;
• and
• perform a session initiation process to establish the communication session via the audio port when the existing communication session is not established via the audio port or when the existing communication session is on hold.

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor to:
• receive an invite message to initiate a communication session,
• the invite message being associated with an address that corresponds to a type of communication session associated with the communication session to be initiated;
• access an audio port of the system based on the address;
• determine whether an existing communication session is established via the audio port;
• determine, when the existing communication session is established via the audio port, whether the existing communication session is on hold;
• and
• perform a session initiation process to establish the communication session via the audio port when the existing communication session is not established via the audio port or when the existing communication session is on hold.
