If you're asking how ArcGIS server connects to ArcMap/ArcEditor, here's the full story. The quick answer is that the ArcGIS server connects to the ArcMap client, and then the client itself connects to the server. They may not use the same software on their own machines (only ArcEditor will connect to the server directly), but they must all be running the same version of the software to be able to connect to each other.
