Broadcast Server Overview
Broadcast Server, a server-based application, manages alerts created by
Broadcast Server users and sent to subscribers, according to rules and
schedules defined by the Broadcast Server administrator and the
individual alert creators. Broadcast Server users are individuals with an
account on Broadcast Server. Subscribers are Avaya IP telephones.
Broadcast Server requires the Application Gateway for operation. While
Broadcast Server provides an interface for creating and scheduling alert
delivery, the Application Gateway manages alerts and transforms alerts
for delivery to IP telephones. The Application Gateway also provides the
Broadcast Server with device information and handles all communication
with the IP telephones. The following illustration shows the general flow
of an alert from a user to an IP telephone.
