! Outbound services
An MAS provides support to outbound services, such as, Find
Me, Call Me, Message Waiting Indicator (MWI), Automated
Attendant transfers, and outbound fax (MSS only)
! Software components
An MAS hosts server software components, such as MWI Server,
Call Me Server, Mailbox Monitor Server, Fax Server (MSS only),
and Tracing Server. For more information, see Modular
Messaging software components on page 3-3.
! Key functions and applications
An MAS provides switch integrations, the telephone user
interface, voice encoding and decoding, alarming and event
tracking, statistics and performance counters, operation history,
fax capability, and text-to-speech (TTS) capability.
Client applications, such as system administration tools and
diagnostic and reporting tools are not uniquely associated with
the MAS, but are required on each MAS.
Note: In a client-server architecture, a software server provides
services to its related clients. A hardware server is the
computer that runs one or many software applications and
servers. An Avaya S3400 is a hardware server that is capable
of running multiple software servers. For example, in a single
MAS voice mail domain, all software-based servers will be
run on a single S3400 hardware server.
Modular Messaging software components
The Avaya Modular Messaging software provides all the server software
components that must be installed on a customer-provided MAS or an
Avaya MAS.
In a voice mail domain that contains more than one MAS, the server
components and services may be distributed across the MAS units.
See Table 3-1 on page 3-7 for information on distributing the MAS
components in a multi-MAS voice mail domain.
The Modular Messaging software components are:
Administration and
diagnostic tools
