CONFIGURING


Adding a network port on a server

Create a Connection document in Notes® if the HCL Notes workstation already has a port in common with the server and you still cannot connect to it. If the server port you want to add will be the Notes workstation's only means of connecting with the server, do not use this procedure. Instead, use the Ports setting in the server's NOTES.INI file.

Procedure

1. From the HCL Domino® Administrator or Web Administrator, click the server on which you want to add a port.

2. Click the Configuration tab.

3. Do one of these:

4. Click New.

5. Specify the port name and driver, and click OK.

6. Click TCP/IP Options, LANx Options, or COMx Options, and specify information as appropriate.

7. Click OK.

8. Click the Server -> Status tab.

9. Do one of these so that the change takes effect:

10. In the Server document, click the Ports -> Notes Network Ports tab, and edit these fields as necessary:
11. Save the Server document.

12. Make sure that this server is set up to replicate its Domino Directory to other servers, or enter the preceding changes to the Server document on a server that is set up to do the replication, or other servers will not know that they can connect to this server over the newly enabled port.
