Shared and specific Messaging Application Server configuration (MAS Basics)

When configuring a voice mail system you define how messaging applications servers (MASs) in a voice mail domain interact with other parts of the messaging environment, for example, PBXs.

The Voice Mail System Configuration application presents a collection of property pages for configuring the system. Properties fall into two categories:

Shared across MASs grouped in a voice mail domain

For these properties, configuration can be carried out centrally. Any changes made to a voice mail domain's properties are updated and replicated automatically to all MASs in the voice mail domain.

For these properties, configuration must be carried out for each MAS in a voice mail domain.
