That's just part of documenting a service interface, and it's appalling to
me how little technical precision there is in this professional field
these days.

I would have the same questions, but unfortunately there's nobody who can
answer them except for the vendor, or I guess somebody who's managed to
make it work. I'm being asked to set this up soon, but I haven't done it
yet.

But I won't guess. I'll send an email to the vendor and tell my customer
that until the answer is forthcoming, I'm not doing any work on it.
