AtHoc

 Blast system overview

The 

BlastSystemSetup.exe

 is an installation and configuration utility comprised of a collection of SA-Announce Revolution modules that integrate with 

AtHoc

 

NDS

 to provide alert notifications to 

Avaya

 IP Phones. The utility installs all of the required Blast System modules and prompts the administrator to input configuration data.

The following modules are included:

Avaya

 IP phones send registration information to the Blast Notifier, including phone IP address, machine address, model number, and extension number. Blast Notifier stores this information in memory, by extension number, and uses it to send notifications to registered phones. When a phone is rebooted, its information is resent to Blast Notifier. The information is matched based on extension number and the data is updated if there are changes. For example, if a newer phone model is assigned to the extension number. If a phone is offline, Blast Notifier still attempts to send notifications and logs an error in the phone logs.

IP Office and Aura® Communications Manager are not required for the Blast System. They are, required for the 

Avaya

 platform.
