USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION
1. List all the workstations and servers that need to access a passthru server. Also list the protocols that the workstations and servers run.
2. List the destination servers that the workstations and servers need to access. Also list the protocols that the destination servers run.
3. Determine where in the topology to locate the passthru server based on which workstations and servers need access and which servers are the destinations. The passthru server must run all of the protocols that the workstations and servers that access it run, as well as all of the protocols of the destination servers.
Also, determine if you want to use more than one passthru server in a hunt group. In a hunt group, one phone number represents all passthru servers in the group, and the load is automatically spread among the passthru servers. Be sure to set up all passthru servers in a hunt group to pass through to the same destination servers.
5. List the IBM® Lotus® Notes® client users that need to use a passthru server and determine a default passthru server for each. If you have many Notes client users, create user setup policies to evenly assign them among the default passthru servers to ensure optimal server performance.
