Chapter 1 Introduction to Broadcast Server

Configuring Broadcast Server

Initial Configuration

In typical usage, the Broadcast Server administrator enables a select group of users to broadcast alerts to distribution lists obtained from the Application Gateway (which is synchronized with LDAP or CSV directory sources). The general configuration steps in this topic apply to that scenario.

To initially configure the Broadcast Server, follow these general steps.

1.Make sure that the Application Gateway is synchronized with the connected directories. For information, refer to the Phone Applications Suite Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, “LDAP/CSV Directory Configuration.”

2.Create user accounts

To enable a user to log in to Broadcast Server and work with alerts, you must create an account for the user. The user privileges are described in “General user permissions,” page 20.

3.Define the items that should be available to users when they compose alerts:

a.Distribution Lists

By default, a distribution list obtained from a directory source is owned by the administrator and is private (meaning only the administrator can use the list).

To make a distribution list available to other users, change the ownership of the list from private to shared and then give all or individual users permission to send alerts to the list. For more information, see “Sharing distribution lists,” page 29 and “The Distribution List User Permissions Page,” page 32.
