Toshiba Strata CIX 开发者指南

The Stratagy ES has a proprietary integration designed to work with Microsoft Outlook. With this 
proprietary integration, the Stratagy ES can provide custom functionality, while remaining within 
the Internet standards. 

Though there is an Outlook integration for UM, this does not imply that Microsoft 
Exchange must be the e-mail server. The Stratagy ES software works with any standards 
compliant e-mail server. In fact, Outlook itself works with any standards compliant e-mail 
server.

Here’s how it works. When the Stratagy ES receives a voice message, it sends a reference (header 
information) of that message to the e-mail server, not the entire message containing the voice file. 
This method cuts down on network traffic and e-mail server storage. When the user logs on to his/
her e-mail account, the referenced message is listed in the Inbox. When the user selects a voice mail 
message, the proprietary integration, goes directly to the Stratagy ES and requests the message be 
downloaded to the client, bypassing the e-mail server. Once the message has been successfully 
downloaded, Outlook launches the voice mail proprietary Message Window or form.

Microsoft Outlook presents messages in screen images called Forms. Microsoft Outlook enables 
developers to create custom Forms for specific types of messages. Toshiba uses this ability to create 
a proprietary Form that launches exclusively when voice messages are selected. This Form (see 
example below) contains feature buttons that enable a user to control the playback of voice 
messages. The proprietary Form can be configured to play the voice messages either over the client 
computer’s multimedia speakers, or for more privacy, the Stratagy ES can call a predefined 
telephone number, so that messages can be played over the telephone’s handset.

When you listen to and delete a voice mail message by telephone, the e-mail listing is not 
deleted from the Outlook screen. If you click on the screen listing, you are alerted that the 
message has already been deleted by telephone. You must now delete it from the Outlook 
screen.
