Application Server

Office Communications Server 2007 R2 introduces a component called the Application Server, which provides a platform for supplementary Unified Communications applications. The Application Server automatically installs on the front-end server. In Office Communications Server 2007 R2, the Application Server provides the following four applications:

  • Conferencing Attendant. The Conferencing Attendant application enables conference organizers to include a dial-in number when scheduling audio conferences so that users can join the audio by using a regular mobile, desk, or home phone.

  • Conference Announcement Service. This service provides announcement functionality so that a tone or message plays when a user joins or leaves a conference.

  • Response Group ServiceThis service emulates the "hunt group" functionality in traditional Private Branch eXchange (PBX) phone systems, whereby incoming calls to a specific phone number are queued and routed to designated agents based on predefined routing rules.

  • Outside Voice Control. The Outside Voice Control enables any mobile phone that is running Office Communicator Mobile to function as an Office Communications Server endpoint.

Depending on the organization’s needs, any of these applications can be enabled or disabled. As is always the case, all front-end servers must be configured identically. Although the Application Server component installs on every front-end server, it is activated only when one of its applications starts.
