This manual describes the entire function range of HiPath Xpressions. The modular design of
HiPath Xpressions means that all functions may not be installed on your system. The functions
described in this manual, therefore, may not be available. Please ask your system administrator
if you would like to find out which functions are installed on your system.

Unified Messaging with HiPath Xpressions
Overview
1Unified Messaging with HiPath Xpressions
1.1Overview
HiPath Xpressions is a mail server for unified messaging. HiPath Xpressions integrates all mail
services for voice mail, fax-mail, e-mail and the short message service (SMS). A non-servicespecific mailbox is set up for every user. Each user can be assigned a personal e-mail address
and a personal fax number for the receipt of mail in this mailbox. The user’s telephone number
and GSM number are valid numbers that are used to leave voice messages in the user’s mailbox.
This mailbox can be accessed through a networked PC or through a telephone. The mailbox
can be maintained from any telephone or any PC with Internet access.
Every user in the office can be alerted to the arrival of new messages on the telephone by
means of the mailbox LED or an acoustic signal. Users en route can be alerted via SMS or pager.
The HiPath Xpressions server can be used as a mailbox server or as a gateway to other mail
systems.
The various formats are automatically converted on the server, provided the HiPath Xpressions
server has been installed. This means that incoming messages of a particular service can be
forwarded to other services provided the data conversion process is feasible. The following data
conversions are permitted, for example:
●Text-to-speech (TTS)
●MS-Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to fax
●Postscript to fax
●Adobe PDF to fax
●Fax to various graphic formats (JPG, TIF, BMP, DCX)
Separate service-specific addresses or numbers can be defined for every mailbox.

Differences Between E-Mail, Voice Mail and Fax Mail
1.2Differences Between E-Mail, Voice Mail and Fax Mail
All messages stored in HiPath Xpressions are e-mail messages. Your e-mail client, therefore,
displays all messages as e-mail messages. All voice or fax messages are provided as attachments to the e-mail. The purpose of the telephone access facility to your mailbox, however, is
to distribute all messages according to the service. E-mail messages that only comprise an audio attachment are displayed as voice mails and messages that only comprise an image attachment are displayed as fax messages. You can configure Outlook 97, Outlook 98, Outlook 2000
or Outlook 2002 (Outlook XP) so that voice and fax messages are specially flagged. You can
achieve this by installing special forms (see Section 2.6.2).

2Mailbox Processing on the PC and the E-Mail
Service
This chapter describes the PC access to your HiPath Xpressions mailbox. Using your PC,
HiPath Xpressions provides you with a standard access interface to your voice messages, fax
messages and e-mails.
In principle, all e-mail clients that support IMAP4 access can be used.
HiPath Xpressions supports the older POP3 access mode. This access mode, however, is not
recommended since it does not include mailbox synchronization when connected to the Lotus
Domino or Microsoft Exchange server. PC access is described using the following e-mail
clients:
●HiPath Xpressions Communications Client (see the relevant user manual)
●Netscape Messenger (see Section 2.2)
●Microsoft Outlook Express (see Section 2.3)
●Microsoft Outlook in Internet Mail Operation (see Section 2.4)
●Microsoft Outlook in Internet Mail Operation in conjunction with
Microsoft Exchange Server (see Section 2.5)
●Lotus Notes (see Section 2.7)
●HiPath Xpressions WebClient (see Section 2.8)
●Client Assistant (see Section 2.9)
(access to fax and voice messages only, no e-mail access)
HiPath Xpressions extensions can be installed for Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes. Outlook
extensions comprise the following functions:
●initiation of a telephone call to a contact
●callback to the originator of a message
●initiation of a telephone call from the Exchange address book
●voice message playback on a telephone
●voice message playback on a PC sound system
●sending a short message (SMS) to a contact
●transfer of a short message (SMS) to the originator of a message
●transfer of a short message (SMS) to a mobile telephone from the address book
●sending a fax message to a contact
