Introduction to OctelNet
™
OctelNet is a networking application that allows users on one OMD
system to exchange messages with users on other OMD systems. For
example, organizations already using OMD’s Octel system can provide
interoperability with Octel Unified Messenger through OctelNet. This
allows them to link all employees in one cost-effective messaging
network that is easy to use and manage.
With OctelNet, OMD servers may be located in the same building, in
different cities, or in different countries around the world. Octel Unified
Messenger supports OctelNet as an Exchange gateway. This allows Octel
Unified Messenger subscribers to exchange voice messages with users on
Octel servers inside of their organization. Subscribers can also exchange
voice mail messages with users outside of their organization, such as
customers or vendors, as long as those users have Octel servers with
OctelNet software.
