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 .
