Introduction to Broadcast Server

With Broadcast Server you can create alerts for display on the screens of

your Nortel 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

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 Nortel 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.

The following topics describe the basic concepts of Broadcast Server:

•Users, page 3

•Subscribers and Distribution Lists, page 3

•Alerts, page 4

•Sending Alerts, page 5

•BCS Interaction with Phones, page 5
