Modular Messaging—MSS Broadcast
The Modular Messaging—MSS Broadcast feature enables an
administrator to designate any Enhanced-List Application (ELA) to be a
local broadcast list. When a message is received into an appropriately
configured enhanced-list mailbox, the message is sent to all local
subscribers and to all list members.
Modular Messaging—MSS administrators can also set up system-wide or
enterprise-wide broadcast lists. For example, administrators can create a
broadcast list on each Modular Messaging system, and then create a
broadcast list on one of the Modular Messaging systems that has as its
members the broadcast lists on all the systems.
The MSS uses the broadcast mailbox and Community ID settings to
control sending privileges of users who address messages to ELA
broadcast mailing lists. For more information on communities and
sending privileges, see Communities and sending restrictions
on page
5-29.
The actual addressing format used to send a broadcast message can be any
addressing format that the relevant interface (telephone user interface or
PC interface) supports.
While a new broadcast message does not activate MWI, Find Me, and
Notify Me, it activates Call Me, provided the broadcast message meets
subscriber-specified criteria. If customers require MWI activation, system
administrators can create an ELA list with entries for each local
subscriber. Messages sent to an ELA list activate MWI.
The Modular Messaging telephone user interfaces (TUIs) announce
broadcast messages as such. The TUIs present new broadcast messages
before other messages and provide a summary count of broadcast
messages after logging in. AUDIX TUI subscribers hear all broadcast
messages of all message types (voice, fax, and text) before gaining access
to other messages. Aria TUI subscribers hear all voice broadcast
messages before accessing other voice messages, but have to select the
text message option to be able to listen to broadcast text messages. Hence,
if broadcast messages are sent as text, Aria TUI users will not hear the
message unless they access text messages.
Modular Messaging Web Client and Client Add-in for Microsoft Outlook
provide visual indications for identifying broadcast messages.
Standards-based clients do not provide any special visual indicators for
broadcast messages. Recipients can recognize broadcast messages from
the address of the broadcast ELA, unless the broadcast message has been
sent via BCC.
