Introduction to Broadcast Server
With Broadcast Server you can create alerts for display on the screens of
your Avaya IP telephones. You direct alerts to distribution lists. The
phones to receive alerts might be in reception areas and conference rooms,
guest rooms, staff members’ offices, factory floors, warehouses, and so on.
The alerts can include meeting reminders, announcements, company
logos, lunchtime menus, revenue-generating advertising content, the
latest sales figures, company news, and anything other information that
you want to share.
Broadcast Server includes the following features:
“Pushed” priority alerts with audio notifications
Flexible subscriber distribution lists
Automatically generated and updated distribution lists, from one or
more LDAP directories and/or directories that can be saved in CSV
(Comma-Separated Value) format
Shared media libraries
Alert protection
Alert links to external services and applications
Retrieval of missed alerts from the phone
Audit trails and logging
Simple installation and configuration
Open XML API to support broadcasting from third-party applications
