Creating a Network Dialup connection

To connect a local HCL Domino® server with a remote server that does not have its own modem, create a Network Dialup connection. Domino uses Microsoft™ Dial-Up Networking (DUN) and the Microsoft Remote Access Service (RAS) to make a dialup connection to a non-Domino server on the remote network.

About this task

After establishing the connection, the local server uses the remote access service to communicate with the destination server. Domino can interact with resources on the other network as if it were connected directly to the network, routing mail and replicating databases with servers on the remote network.

Because RAS uses its own compression, Domino compression should not be used with RAS.

HCL Notes® clients and Domino servers who establish a Network Dialup connection to a Remote Access Server can access the entire remote Domino network over the remote LAN. After establishing a connection, the calling client or server can communicate with servers on the remote LAN using the network protocol defined in RAS only, that is, TCP/IP.

Note: To ensure the best performance for connections that use data-compressing modems, do not apply Domino network data encryption to ports using these modems. Rather than reducing the size of the transmitted data, the modem's hardware compression techniques can increase it, negating the benefits of the modem compression.

Procedure

1. Configure the modem port on the source server, using the LAN protocol.

2. Make sure that the remote access service is properly set up on the local Domino server and on the remote network server.

3. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

4. Click Server and then Connections.

5. Click Add Connection.

6. Complete the following fields:


7. Click the Network Dialup tab and complete the following fields:
8. Click the Replication/Routing and Schedule tabs to define the tasks you want to run, and select the times you want the server to call its destination.

9. Click Save & Close.
