SMTP

The phone number that is used to access a Cisco Unity server. For example, subscribers dial a pilot number when logging on to Cisco Unity. The phone system that Cisco Unity is integrated with dials a pilot number when transferring callers to a greeting. Other voice messaging systems dial a pilot number when sending messages to Cisco Unity via AMIS.

Each Cisco Unity server is associated with one location, referred to as the default or primary location, which is created during installation and which cannot be deleted. With the exception of public distribution lists, all subscribers and other Cisco Unity objects (such as call handlers) that are created on your Cisco Unity server are associated with the primary location.

Each primary location contains the addressing information that Cisco Unity needs to route messages between Cisco Unity servers. Because Cisco Unity stores location and subscriber addressing information in the directory, the addressing information replicates to other Cisco Unity servers on the network.

Defines the structure of a database, including classes of data objects and the type of information that each data object can contain. When setting up Cisco Unity for use with Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, the Active Directory schema must be extended.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. An industry-standard Internet protocol providing e-mail services. It is a TCP/IP protocol that defines the message format and method for sending messages from one host to another. SMTP was originally designed only for ASCII text, but MIME and other encoding methods enable program and multimedia files to be attached to e-mail messages. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another.

T

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A communications protocol developed to network

 

dissimilar systems. This is an Internet protocol that has become the global standard for

 

communications. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish

 

a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that

 

packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. Every client and server in a TCP/IP

 

network requires an IP address that is either permanently assigned or dynamically assigned at startup.
