Introduction to configuring a messaging application server

Messaging

You can configure the peer electronic mail server and directory server.

See Configuring messaging.

Text-to-Speech

You can configure the maximum number of concurrent text-to-speech (TTS) conversions allowed on an MAS.

See Configuring text-to-speech.

Languages

You can view a list of the languages installed on an MAS and set multilingual TTS properties.

See Viewing languages installed on the MAS.

Port Groups

You can set up group ports for use by PC client applications, the telephone user interface (TUI), Octel Analog Networking, Call Me, and fax.

See Configuring port groups.

Tracing file size

You can configure the size of the tracing file that stores operation history events before they are sent to the tracing server.

See Configuring the tracing file size.

MAS additions or removals

You can add MASs to or remove MASs from your system.

See Adding or removing MASs.

The system may prompt you to stop and restart the MAS after you make changes to a property in Voice Mail System Configuration. If so, the changes do not take effect until you stop and restart the MAS.

You must configure each MAS in your system.

Selecting an MAS for the first time

When you select an MAS in a voice mail domain for the first time, the system prompts you to run the Telephony Configuration Wizard. This wizard enables you to quickly configure the telephony interface, add PBXs, configure a PBX type, and configure the number of ports or time slots for the MAS.

For more information on the Telephony Configuration Wizard, see the chapter on post-installation in the installation guide for your system.

Before you begin

Ensure you have read Messaging Application Server (MAS) Basics. That chapter introduces you to the Voice Mail System Configuration application used to perform the configuration.

Start the Voice Mail System Configuration application from the Modular Messaging Software folder.
