Creating a Remote Site allows the UC server to communicate with other voice messaging servers. The two servers can send and receive voice messages from one another by using one of two standardized methods, AMIS (Audio Messaging Interchange Specification) or VPIM (Voice Profile for Internet Messaging).
Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM) is an International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard that allows different types of messaging servers to pass voice and fax messages among each other over the Internet.
Creating a VPIM address allows the UC server to use VPIM to send messages to assigned network voicemail users.
