Avaya 16-300272 User Manual

Broadcast Server has one administrative user (Administrator) with full 

access to all Broadcast Server controls. The Broadcast Server 

Administrator can create accounts for other users who will compose and 

send alerts in Broadcast Server. Users log in to the Broadcast Server 

through Microsoft Internet Explorer from anywhere in the organization or 

securely over the Internet.

The documents that you can download from the Application Gateway 

includes a document, Sending Alerts to Avaya IP Phones from a PC, that you 

can change as needed and distribute to Broadcast Server users. The 

document explains how to perform the options available by default to 

Broadcast Server users. 

When you create a user account, you specify the options available to the 

user. By default, a user can create, change, and delete alerts. You can 

restrict a user from creating or changing alerts. A user account can be 

further customized as described in 

Subscribers (IP telephones) are added to Broadcast Server automatically. 

You configure the Application Gateway to add subscribers to Broadcast 

Server when IP telephones come online. 
A particular list of subscribers is a distribution list. Distribution lists enable 

you to group subscribers and other distribution lists as recipients for 

alerts. When composing an alert, a user selects the distribution list(s) to 

receive the alert. By default, a user cannot add individual subscribers to a 

distribution list. The Application Gateway supports 256 lists.
You can configure the Application Gateway to automatically create 

distribution lists from the department information (“Department” field) 

obtained from your LDAP or CSV directory sources. When an IP telephone 

comes online, the Application Gateway adds entries to the distribution 

list, using the phone extension (and dialing rules) to locate the associated 

department name in the directories. For information on configuring 

connections to LDAP and CSV directory sources, refer to the Phone 

Applications Suite Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, “LDAP/CSV Directory 

Configuration.”
