Communications Drivers Provided by Oracle

The communications drivers provided by Oracle are as follows:

• Siebel CTI Connect. Supports interactive voice communications using CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) for deployments using Siebel CTI Connect (using CTI middleware from Envox—formerly Intel Netmerge).

  For more information, see Communications Drivers and Third-Party Systems, Communications Server and Siebel CTI, and Using Siebel CTI Connect.

• Internet SMTP/POP3 Server. Supports Internet mail servers that support the SMTP protocol for outbound email, fax or wireless messages or the POP3 protocol for inbound email (for Siebel Email Response). This driver supports both plain-text and HTML email.

  For more information, see Communications Server and Siebel Email Response, Email Servers Validated by Oracle, and Interfacing with Email and Fax Servers.

• Push Keep Alive. Provides a heartbeat function to help maintain push communications for session-communications drivers loaded by Communications Session Manager.

  For more information, see Using Push Keep Alive Driver for Session Connections and Other Communications Drivers.

• Modem-based TAP Paging. For Siebel Paging, supports paging over a modem using the Telocator Alphanumeric Paging (TAP) protocol, for outbound communication requests. (The Send Page command does not use this driver.)

  For more information, see Other Communications Drivers.

  NOTE:  Siebel Paging is included with all base applications of the Siebel Business Applications.

• FTP. Supports File Transfer Protocol (FTP). This driver is used by Siebel Marketing to send contact lists to vendors who are contracted to execute campaigns. It can also be used to send outbound communication requests from any Siebel application.

  For more information, see Other Communications Drivers.

• TaW. This driver enables integration with Siebel Contact On Demand. Siebel Communications Server can connect to Siebel Contact On Demand using Oracle's Telephony@Work middleware.

  For more information, see Using Siebel Contact On Demand.
