USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION
Because RAS uses its own compression, Domino compression should not be used with RAS.
IBM® Lotus® 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 protocols defined in RAS only, that is, TCP/IP and Netbios.
To create a Network dialup connection
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.
On the non-Domino remote server, configure RAS to answer calls. For details on how to configure RAS, refer to the documentation provided with the operating system.
4. Click Server, and then click Connections.
5. Click Add Connection.
6. Complete these fields:
For SMTP routing connections, enter the host name of the destination server, for example, internet.isp.com.
Leave this field blank when configuring SMTP routing to an ISP server.
Enter a fully-qualified host name or IP address -- for example, HR-E.Acme.com or 192.22.256.36. Because IP addresses are subject to change, for ease of management, it's best to use host names in Connection documents. When a host name is used, if the IP address changes, the connecting server obtains the updated IP address from the DNS.
9. Click Save & Close.
Note To ensure the best performance for connections that use data-compressing modems, don't 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.
