vi Preface
Purpose
This document describes how to use XMPP to enable the SmartServer and client applications to
communicate bi-directionally when they are located behind firewalls.
Audience
This guide is intended for application developers creating SmartServer applications that run remotely
from the SmartServer, and that communicate with the SmartServer using SOAP over XMPP.
Requirements
Requirements for implementing a full XMPP solution are listed below:
• SmartServer 2.0 SP1 (Release 4.04.088) or newer.
• XMPP server. This document uses an ejabberd XMPP server, which is required if your
SmartServer’s firmware version is 4.04.088. You can use any XMPP compliant server if your
SmartServer’s firmware version is 4.04.119 or newer.
• XMPP client application. This document is for software developers creating the XMPP client
application. The examples in this document use the Pidgin messaging client to demonstrate an
XMPP client application.
