Toshiba MAS Optional Software Applications

The Media Application Server is shipped with all standard and optional application software pre- loaded. The following optional software modules are also available with additional licensing:

To activate optional software modules in the Media Application Server, product and service licenses are purchased and downloaded from FYI using the same process as for current Toshiba license-controlled products. The Fax Feature Group requires the purchase of fax modem boards that will be installed in the MAS chassis and connected to the CIX via analog interface circuits (e.g. BSLU). Fax modem boards are available in 1, 4, and 8 port configurations. MicroMAS-H can only be equipped with the 1-port fax modem boards.

The pre-loaded software should never need to be re-loaded on the Media Application Server, but in the event this becomes necessary, the MAS recovery CD-ROM set can be ordered from Internet FYI.

Connection to the Strata CIX

The Media Application Server with HMP connects to the CIX using IP connections through a Network Switch. All of the feature communications and Voice Mail speech paths are carried by this ethernet connection. The Strata CIX must also be equipped with IP station boards for voice path assignment.

As described before, MicroMAS-D and the fax modem boards of the 2U MAS and MicroMAS H require analog ports from the Strata CIX. The fax modem boards come in 1, 4, and 8 port configurations. Depending the fax port capacity desired, from one to sixteen CIX analog circuits (e.g. BLSU) may be required.

The monitor, keyboard and mouse are customer supplied options. The MAS can be accessed via the network by using the Windows® XP Remote Desktop feature.

The CIX MIPU / LIPU / GIPU / GIPH card IP Address must be accessible by the MAS.

The MAS and CIX must be physically installed first. Mount the MAS in the rack. Insert the circuit cards into the CIX cabinets. Connect the IP cables. When all of the cables are connected, power up the system and proceed to the MAS configuration and programming.

Preloaded Software
