Chapter 2
Application Gateway and Broadcast Server Operation
As shown in the following illustration, Broadcast Server communicates only with the Application Gateway. The Application Gateway provides Broadcast Server with device information and manages all communication with other servers and IP telephones. The Application Gateway also transforms alerts so that they are in the appropriate format for display and delivery to IP telephones.
Note Sites using a cluster of Application Gateways should configure all Application Gateways in the cluster with the same Broadcast Server.
The Application Gateway Administration Guide explains the IP phone setup required for Broadcast Server. To enable communication between the Application Gateway and Broadcast Server, you specify in the Application Gateway Administration Tool the base URL where Broadcast Server is running. That is the only information that the Application Gateway needs to register with Broadcast Server.
