USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION


Planning for modem use
For an IBM® Lotus® Domino® server to communicate with a remote Domino server by modem, you must
Note Support for direct dialup modem (X.PC) connections is available only in releases of Domino earlier than release 8.5. You may continue to use Domino Administrator 8.5 to configure and maintain direct dialup modem support, but only on servers running releases of Domino earlier than 8.5.

Installing modems

The number of modems that you can use on a server is dependent on the operating system and system resources -- for example, the number of available communication ports. Each modem needs its own communication port.

If you expect heavy dialup use, install additional modems or install a multiple-port communication board to connect multiple modems to multiple communication ports on a single board.

Use these questions to help you determine the number of modems:

1. How many users and servers do you want to be able to use the server simultaneously?


2. Do users take advantage of workstation-to-server replication when accessing the server?
3. What types of users connect to this server?
