Messaging Application Server (internal view)

The internal view of the MAS varies, depending on the type of motherboard that is installed. The type of motherboard affects where port boards and cables are connected. All new MASs support up to four (4) universal-type port boards, depending on the switch integration and the TUI used. Only systems with a nonintegrated video and LAN that were upgraded from Release 1 support five (5) port boards, if five boards were installed before the upgrade.

Note: Port boards are not present for IP H.323 or IP SIP integrations.

An Avaya S3400-family MAS uses these configurations:

Caution!
The older model of MAS motherboard for the nonintegrated video and LAN configuration contains six 32-bit, 5V port board slots. The new model of MAS motherboard for the integrated video and LAN configuration has three 64-bit, 3.3V universal port board slots, and only one 5V port board slot. If you have an older model of 5V port board that is not universal and does not fit the 64-bit, 3.3 V PCI slot, you can install only one port board into a later model of S3400-family MAS. The Avaya replacement strategy is:

  • Avaya ships only the universal model of the DSE port board for new servers and as field replacement units.
  • If an Avaya MAS must be replaced, Avaya replaces the faulty server with a one that uses the same type of motherboard. Therefore, the different number of 5V port board slots between servers is not an issue.
