MAS Intro - The Messaging Application Server

The Messaging Application Server (MAS) provides an interface between the message store (and directory) and the telephone system. The MAS is sometimes referred to as the “voice server”.

A Modular Messaging system consists of at least one MAS connected to at least one back-end message store server (IBM Lotus Domino server). The message store server is sometimes referred to as the “mail server” or “messaging server”.

Modular Messaging supports a maximum of eleven MAS units in a voice mail domain; the eleventh being a standalone tracing server.

In this release, the MAS software can reside on the Avaya-provided S3500 server platform or S3400 server platform. The S3500 server platform must be running Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Application Kit with Service Pack 1.

The MAS software can also reside on a customer-provided server platform running Microsoft Windows 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 1. The customer-provided server platform must meet the minimum requirements that Avaya specifies. For more information, see the Avaya Modular Messaging Concepts and Planning Guide.
