5 um_ba.fm Unified Messaging with HiPath Xpressions Overview 1 Unified Messaging with HiPath Xpressions 1.1 Overview HiPath Xpressions is a mail server for unified messaging. XPR integrates all mail services for voice mail, fax-mail, and the short message service (SMS). A non-service-specific mailbox is set up for every user. This means all messages are stored in a mailbox independent of the service they were sent by. Each user can be assigned a personal address and a personal fax number for the receipt of mail in this mailbox. The user s telephone number is a valid number that is used to leave voice messages in the user s mailbox. This mailbox can be accessed via any networked PC or via any telephone at your workplace. The mailbox can be maintained from any external telephone or any PC with internet access. Each subscriber can be notified about new incoming messages via the telephone. This is possible in your office via the MWI or as an acoustic notification and also en-route to any telephone, mobile phone via SMS or via a pager. The XPR server can be used as a mailbox server or as a gateway to other mail systems. The various formats are automatically converted on the server, provided the XPR server has been installed. This means that incoming messages of a particular service can be forwarded to other services provided the data conversion process is feasible. The following data conversions are permitted, for example: Text-to-speech (TTS) MS-Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to fax Postscript to fax Fax to various graphic formats (JPG, TIF, BMP, DCX) Separate service-specific addresses or numbers can be defined for every mailbox.

An SMS message may consist of a maximum of 160 characters. > Depending on the XPR server configuration less than 160 caracters might be available. This depends for example on whether the administrator has defined prefixes or suffixes for sending SMS messages.

43 Nur für den internen Gebrauch MSP.fm XPR Service Provider (MSP) 5 XPR Service Provider (MSP) The Service Provider serves as global substructure for all client applications that want to use XPR server services. These are for instance TrayPhone, Lotus Notes LSX, Outlook CTI Extensions or the Communications client. While several client applications can run on one computer simultaneously, only one instance of the Service Provider is available at a time. The following services are provided: Local Database (Cache) Every client application does not have to keep its own database up to date. If required the Service Provider synchronizes its local database with the database of the XPR server. Thereby, the contents of the local database is made available to all client applications so that fast access is always possible. Store & Forward Interface XPR client applications can send documents to or receive them from a MRS server. This refers to classic communication via fax, etc. The TrayPhone CTI journal also operates via this interface. Transactions Interface Client applications can communicate with APLs of the XPR server which support transactions. This enables in particular the CTI functionality for client applications such as Trayphone or the Outlook CTI Extensions. According to requirements the MSP is automatically implemented upon the installation of a XPR client component. When the installation is completed you will find the file MSP.INSTALL.LOG in the TEMP directory of the installing user, helping to detect errors if problems should occur. The Service Provider is started by the first client application requiring it. The Service Provider configuration module in the control panel is such an application. For further information on the Service Provider and on profile definition refer to the Server Administration manual. HiPath Xpressions v4.0 Client Applications, Manual 5-43
