Vypress Auvis description
Vypress Auvis is a user-friendly, universal, one-way messaging client that runs in the system tray

Vypress Auvis is a user-friendly, universal, one-way messaging client that will run in the system tray, allowing you to receive messages, network-wide alerts and broadcasts from network administrators. Auvis can even provide e-mail notification.

Vypress Auvis is oriented toward the non-professional user. It fulfills the function of a message processor, but does not allow users to send messages. One of the key features in Auvis is the ability to disable one or all of the extra features (for example, closing the program) through special registry keys. If you are the administrator of a corporate LAN or WAN and are looking for broadcasting and unicasting services for a middle to large network, Auvis is the ideal program for you and your network!

Vypress Auvis can receive messages from Vypress Messenger (direct TCP messages plus UDP broadcasts), from WinPopup/Messaging Service (Windows NT/2000 or XP), from any Unix system that is SMB protocol enabled and from a NetWare ‘send’ command.

Vypress Auvis, written in Microsoft Visual C++, is efficient (uses 400 KB of RAM), fast and can be run under any Windows environment. Support for UDP broadcast messages includes a full set of security settings, including the ability to enable or disable messages from a specified IP-address or address mask. The user-friendly interface is incredibly popular with novice users.

Today, Auvis is the most unique program of its kind on the market. It is specially designed for one-way message processing and does not in any way alter the original, full-featured Vypress Messenger.

Here are some key features of "Vypress Auvis":

· Vypress Auvis is software designed for receiving messages and notifications from various instant messaging services, such as Vypress Messenger, standard WinPopup, Novell NetWare broadcasts and any Unix SMB clients. Auvis was initially developed in response to requests from customers with local networks containing several thousand workstations. Therefore, Vypress Auvis is primary oriented for middle and large networks, where most of the users are not computer professionals or where strong chat restrictions are required.
· “Invisible interface”. The user interface of Auvis was designed with the goal of minimizing users interactions with it. The main priority of Auvis’ design is to offer the greatest functionality with minimum (or zero) training time to start working with Auvis. Our tests show that people without any computer knowledge can start using Auvis immediately after installation. Default metrics of the main window of Auvis focus user attention on the incoming message text. “User interface of the program should be like the user interface of the door-handle” — simple and automatic. This is the fundamental intent of the Auvis interface design.
· A wonderful, lightweight and effective program. Another major requirement that we kept in the mind during Auvis’ development is the effectiveness of the program code. Vypress Auvis was developed in Microsoft Visual C++ without using any cumbersome class libraries and components. As a result of the hard work of our developers, Auvis uses only about 200 KB of RAM! Vypress Auvis will never be a RAM consuming program on any PC, even older, low-memory workstations.
· Advanced flexibility. Network administrators can configure Auvis to fit almost any need. All “advanced” non-user features of Auvis can be configured through special Windows system registry values (see Registry Keys of the Vypress Auvis for more information). Using these keys, the administrator is able to disable closing of the program, disable filtration settings, completely hide the Settings toolbar button, and perform many more administrative tasks.
· Complete control over message sources. One essential element of a one-way messaging system is control over message sources. Vypress Auvis (the first one-way instant messaging system on the market) contains features for message source control. Network administrators can allow message receiving from only specified workstations or addresses, disable message receiving from specified workstations, and restrict high-priority messages sources.
· IP-Multicast support. Full and complete support for this newest TCP/IP protocol extension allows Vypress Auvis to fit all network topologies and provides an easy and graceful mechanism for multi-destinations messaging.
· Built-in checking for new incoming e-mail messages. Vypress Auvis can check for new e-mail messages on POP3 or IMAP4 incoming mail servers. This feature consummates messaging control, allowing true control of all incoming messages.
· Easy implementation and deployment. As a product initially designed for use in large networks, Auvis has all the essential features for enterprise-wide deployment, such as silent setup and SMS integrations. Auvis can be started from any location and any working folder, from the registry key, from the “StartUp” group or from login script. The experts from the VyPRESS Support Team will help you design implementation and deployment plans for personalizing your corporate network and solving all possible problems, quickly and easily.
