Introduction to Broadcast Server

With Broadcast Server you can create alerts for display on the screens of your Nortel IP telephones. You direct alerts to distribution lists. The phones to receive alerts might be in reception areas and conference rooms, guest rooms, staff members’ offices, factory floors, warehouses, and so on. The alerts can include meeting reminders, announcements, company logos, lunchtime menus, revenue-generating advertising content, the latest sales figures, company news, and anything other information that you want to share.

Broadcast Server includes the following features:

•“Pushed” priority alerts with audio notifications
