Chapter 7 VPIM Networking

VPIM Concepts and Definitions

If the VPIM bridgehead server is configured for failover, automatic VPIM subscriber updates will not occur while the secondary server is active, as the CsVPIMConnector service will run only on the primary server. However, while the primary server is unavailable, the Voice Connector continues to generate directory update messages, which will be processed as soon as the primary server becomes active again.

Population of VPIM Subscriber Information

Depending on a setting configured for each delivery location, VPIM subscribers can be created, updated, or deleted by using information either from the header of an incoming VPIM message, or from a vCard attachment included with the message (if more than one vCard attachment is included, only the vCard in the most recent portion of the message will be used). Additional delivery location options allow you to specify how certain fields from the vCard or header are mapped to VPIM subscriber fields. Table 7-1shows the source of various fields when either the vCard or header fields are used to generate VPIM subscriber information. It also includes information on the delivery location Subscriber Creation configuration settings that can affect how the CsVPIMConnector service maps this data to the fields in a VPIM subscriber record.
