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.
