LAN
The LAN provides a high-speed (minimum 10 Megabit per second
switched) connection between servers and client systems. Octel Unified
Messenger supports Ethernet and token ring based LAN topologies. Octel
Unified Messenger takes advantage of the file streaming capabilities of
Windows NT to transfer voice files across the network. This minimizes
network traffic congestion and provides speedy message playback and
navigation.
PC user interface
The PC user interface can be a portable or desktop computer that is either
connected by a LAN or part of a remote network. This computer executes
Octel Unified Messenger client software that manages the display of all
messages contained in the subscriber’s mailbox, facilitates and controls
the recording and playback of voice messages, and interacts with the
Exchange client.
