Messaging application server
The voice server, also known as the messaging application server (MAS)
in Modular Messaging, provides an interface between the message store
(and directory) and the telephone system.
A Modular Messaging—MSS system consists of at least one MAS and an
Avaya-produced Message Storage Server (MSS). Modular Messaging—
MSS supports a maximum of five MAS units in a voice mail domain. The
MAS software resides on the Avaya-provided S3400 server platform
running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server.
Note: For more information on a voice mail domain, see Voice mail
domain on page 4-33.
A Modular Messaging—Microsoft Exchange or Modular Messaging—
IBM Lotus Domino system consists of at least one MAS connected to at
least one back-end message store server (Microsoft Exchange server or
IBM Lotus Domino server). With Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus
Domino, Modular Messaging supports a maximum of ten MAS units in a
voice mail domain.
The MAS software resides either on the Avaya-provided S3400 server
platform running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, or on a
customer-provided Microsoft Windows 2000 Server system that meets
the minimum requirements Avaya specifies. For more information, see
