Avaya 16-300272 User Manual

The Broadcast Server administrator can see all distribution lists while 

individual users can only see those lists they own and those that have been 

shared with them by the administrator.  By default, the distribution lists 

created automatically from LDAP or CSV information are available only 

to the administrator (private). 
To make a distribution list available to other users, the administrator must 

change the list ownership to shared, and then specify which users can use 

the list. For more information on distribution lists, see 

.

An alert is the basic content item in the Broadcast Server and represents 

the information to be pushed to a phone. Alerts are delivered to the 

subscriber without requiring the subscriber to request outstanding alerts. 

An alert might consist of a meeting reminder that is scheduled for delivery 

at a particular date and time, or an Emergency announcement that takes 

precedence over other audio activity, including the playing of voicemail 

messages.
Alerts can include an audio notification which plays on the phone’s 

speakerphone or in the earpiece if the user is on the phone.
Alert content can consist of text and/or graphics (not all phones support 

graphics). An alert can also include up to two soft keys which cause the 

phone to either dial a number or link to a URL or an external service. For 

example, a soft key might: 

Cause the phone to go off-hook and dial a number associated with the 

alert (perhaps dialing the number for the restaurant whose menu is 

currently being displayed on the phone). 

Link to an external service that allows an alert to serve as the 

“front-end” for a specialized back-end system (such as a company’s 

Human Resources Web site).

Display a Web URL (perhaps a page that contains event information).
