Server –  

a.  A computer system which provides data services to end users via their PCs, wireless 

PDAs, IP phones, or other network devices. 

b.  A software application on such a computer system, which provides data services to 

clients. For example, Vodavi’s PathFinder

IP

 is comprised of many programs, including a 

POP3 email server, Telnet server, Text-to-Speech engine, etc. 

Client –  

The PC, PDA, cell phone, or other computing device which retrieves and sends files or 

messages to/from a server.  Email client programs include Outlook, Eudora, Outlook Express, 

Pine and many others.  

Protocol – 

A set of standards for exchanging signals between devices. The devices can include servers, PCs, 
phones. Different protocols are used to accomplish different types of communication. Protocols 

include HTTP for World Wide Web browsers, SMTP for Internet Mail, H.323 for voice over 

Internet. Here is an explanation of the email protocols used for Unified Messaging: 

 

1.  POP3—Post Office Protocol 3:   

The client email program contacts the PathFinder

IP

 directly, and pulls down email copies 

of voice messages. Your email client, therefore, logs into more than one server—it treats 

the PathFinder

IP

 as an additional email account. The questions we need to answer 

include:  Does the client support POP3?  It’s the old standard email client protocol, so 

chances are very high that your client does. Is the PC/PDA or other appliance that you 

are using capable of playing WAV files? Some cannot. 

 

2.  SMTP—Simple Mail Transfer Protocol:   

The PathFinder

IP

 server is configured to ‘push’ (send) an email containing a sound file 

directly to your email box on your email server. An advantage here is that you continue 

to just log into your PC, and when you open email your voice messages/faxes are already 

there waiting for you. What we have to make sure of is this:  Will the users’ email boxes 

allow incoming messages from PathFinder?  Often, security on the mail server is very 
tight, and a rule needs to be set up to allow the PathFinder

IP

 to send messages into it.  

 

3.  IMAP4—Internet Message Access Protocol version 4:   

The most complicated option to set up. Similar to POP3, your email client logs into the 

PathFinder

IP

 as a secondary mailbox, but there is synchronization:  when you delete a 

message in your email box, it gets deleted on the PathFinder server as well. This also has 

a disadvantage in that the user will need to manage a separate folder for voice messages 
in the email box; they do not get deposited into the main Inbox. Stay away from this one 

if you like to Keep It Simple, Samuel!  

 

Of the three protocols above, SMTP is for sending and transferring email. POP3 and IMAP4 are 

for receiving and managing email. IMAP4 also offers the user the ability to store messages in 

folders on the server, instead of having to download every message to the client computer and 
delete from the server.
