The Message Storage Server is a Linux-based system provided by Avaya. Port (Line Interface) Boards provide the interface circuitry between the telephone system and the Modular Messaging/Message Application Server. Port boards in a single Modular Messaging system must all be the same type, (e.g., T/R, DSE, T1 or E1). Port boards are not required for the IP integration. The MASs in a single system must support the same type of port board. For Modular Messaging, Dialogic Port Boards will be provisioned. Each has resources for dynamic fax ports; the fax ports can be used on any available Port board port. A single Message Application Server can only support a single board type and cannot simultaneously support multiple types of boards.
