Note: After you configure an HS20 Blade as a MAS server, it cannot
be reconfigured as a BCP at the customer site. The server must be
returned to Nortel for repair.
Multiapplication MAS
Multiapplication MAS supports the installation of up to five MAS services
on a single Media Application Server. Previous to this capability, each
application on the MAS had to reside on its own separate hardware
computing platform. This restriction has been lifted for a special case of
MAS applications running on the IBM x3550, x336, or x335 platform. A
single MAS hardware platform solves customer needs for cost-effective
small implementations of multiple MAS services. The multiple application
MAS (on an IBM x3550, x336, or x335 hardware platform) can work with
the Enterprise micro system to deliver multiple services for up to 250
subscribers (maximum). It can also be used as a service evaluation platform
in 4-server and 8-server configurations.
The following applications can reside on the same Media Application Server
hardware platform:
•
Ad Hoc Audio Conferencing
•
Meet Me Audio Conferencing or Meet Me Premium Audio Conferencing
•
Music on Hold
•
Announcements
•
IM Chat
In this deployment, the applications are distributed through subdomain
implementations. For information about installing a multiapplication MAS
deployment, see MAS Installation and Commissioning (NN42020-307).
