Using LanTalk in Outlook
LanTalk is the instant messaging module that allows you to chat with other users
over the IP. You can reach anyone who is logged into the same IP as the one that
you are using. Integrated into Outlook, LanTalk is much more convenient for you to
use to communicate with individuals logged into your network.
Note: This feature is only available to Advanced or Unified users.
For an explanation of the different user types, refer to the
About This Guide section in this document.
