Architecture:
BlackBerry MVS
The basic
BlackBerry Mobile Voice System includes a standalone
BlackBerry MVS Server that is integrated with one
BlackBerry Enterprise Server and one PBX.
The
BlackBerry MVS
includes one of each of the following components:
| Component
|
Description
|
|
MVS
Console
|
The
MVS
Console is the UI that you use to maintain the
BlackBerry MVS.
The
MVS
Console uses the
BlackBerry Configuration Database for information storage and retrieval.
|
|
MVS Session
Manager
|
The
MVS Session
Manager communicates with:
- The
MVS BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Connector to send and receive
BlackBerry MVS requests
to and from
BlackBerry devices
- A PBX to set up
and end calls to and from devices
- A voice mail
system to display MWIs on
BlackBerry devices
- The
MVS Witness
Server to support redundancy when the
MVS Session
Manager is used in a high availability pair
The
MVS Session
Manager includes:
- FMC Phone: FMC
Phone extends desk phone features to
BlackBerry devices.
- MVS Event Manager:
The MVS Event Manager collects application events from
BlackBerry devices and
BlackBerry MVS components
and stores them as event files on the
BlackBerry MVS Server.
|
|
MVS Data
Manager
|
The
MVS Data
Manager manages transactions between the
BlackBerry Configuration Database and the
MVS Session
Manager, the
MVS Witness
Server, and the
MVS BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Connector.
|
| MVS BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Connector
|
The
MVS BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Connector communicates with the
BlackBerry Dispatcher for all transactions between the
MVS Session
Manager and
BlackBerry devices. The
MVS BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Connector also provides a path between the
MVS Data
Manager and devices for transactions such as device provisioning, where
the information comes directly from the
BlackBerry Configuration Database.
|
| MVS Witness
Server
|
In a
BlackBerry MVS high availability installation, the
MVS Witness
Server supports the failover of
MVS Session
Manager instances and
MVS BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Connector instances.
|
The
BlackBerry MVS
also includes functionality that the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the
BlackBerry device provide:
|
BlackBerry Enterprise Server
|
The
BlackBerry Enterprise Server provides
BlackBerry device management
and security, including authentication between
BlackBerry devices and the
BlackBerry MVS Server.
The
BlackBerry MVS uses the following
BlackBerry Enterprise Server components:
- BlackBerry Configuration Database: The
BlackBerry Configuration Database stores the configuration information for the
BlackBerry MVS.
- BlackBerry Dispatcher: The
BlackBerry Dispatcher provides compression and encryption processing for all data
that
BlackBerry devices send and
receive. The
BlackBerry Dispatcher communicates with
BlackBerry devices through
the
BlackBerry Router.
- BlackBerry Router: The
BlackBerry Router
communicates with the
BlackBerry devices.
|
|
BlackBerry MVS Client
|
The
BlackBerry MVS Client integrates with the
BlackBerry device to allow
BlackBerry MVS users to extend the capabilities of their work desk phones to their
BlackBerry devices.
|
BlackBerry Domain
The
BlackBerry MVS
uses the
BlackBerry Configuration Database for all data storage requirements. You can configure the
BlackBerry Configuration Database when you install the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server. You can configure several
BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances to use the same
BlackBerry Configuration Database.
A
BlackBerry Domain consists of one
BlackBerry Configuration Database and all the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances that use the database. One
BlackBerry MVS
can support several
BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances and all their users if they are all in the same
BlackBerry Domain.
BlackBerry MVS configuration
The BlackBerry MVS components communicate with each other and the
BlackBerry Configuration Database to create a 'map' of all BlackBerry MVS Server instances, their components, and their associations. This map is
referred to as the BlackBerry MVS configuration. A BlackBerry MVS Server and its components are added
to the BlackBerry MVS configuration when you install a BlackBerry MVS Server. You can remove a BlackBerry MVS component from the BlackBerry MVS
configuration using the MVS
Console. For more information on adding a BlackBerry MVS Server, see the BlackBerry MVS Installation guide. For more information on removing a BlackBerry MVS Server component, see the BlackBerry MVS
Administration guide.
