4.  PACKAGE CONTENTS

    The following components are included in the MVP 11.2.1 package.

    a.  MarkVision Client
        This is the primary application that is used to manage devices. There
        are two versions of the MarkVision Client.
          *  MarkVision Client Application - This is the standalone application
             that can be installed locally on a user workstation.
          *  MarkVision Web Client - This browser-based client is a Java applet
             version of the client that can be accessed through a supported Web
             browser.

    b.  MarkVision Messenger
        This Web-based utility works with MVP to provide e-mail notification or
        command line execution when conditions on a network printer (such as
        Paper Tray Missing or Toner Low) trigger a pre-defined event. MarkVision
        Messenger is a service that runs inside the MarkVision Server.

    c.  MarkVision Server
        This is the engine that powers MVP. It is the single point of contact
        between an instance of the MarkVision Client and all of the devices that
        MVP manages.

    d.  MarkVision Web Server
        This server supports the browser-based component of the MarkVision Web
        Client and MarkVision Messenger. The MarkVision Web Server is
        automatically installed with the MarkVision Server.
