Create a Connection document in Notes® if the IBM® 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
- From the IBM Domino® Administrator
or Web Administrator, click the server on which you want to add a
port.
- Click the Configuration tab.
- Do one of these:
- From the Domino Administrator's
Tools pane, choose .
- From the Web Administrator's Port tool, choose Setup.
- Click New.
- Specify the port name and driver, and click OK.
- Click TCP/IP Options, LANx
Options, or COMx Options, and specify
information as appropriate.
- Click OK.
- Click the tab.
- Do one of these so that the change takes effect:
- From the Domino Administrator's
Tools pane, choose Restart Port. (If you can't
see the Tools pane, make sure you are in the Server Tasks view.)
- From the Web Administrator's Ports tool, choose Restart.
- In the Server document, click the tab, and
edit these fields as necessary:
Table 1. Fields Used
to Set Up Network Ports for Notes
Field |
Action |
Port |
Enter the port name. Domino assigns a default port name to each
network protocol detected on the system. |
Notes Network |
Enter the name of the Notes named network for the group of Domino servers that are in this
location and run on a particular protocol -- for example, Boston TCPIP.
Space characters are allowed in a Notes network
name. |
Net Address |
Enter the protocol-specific name of the server
-- for example, sales.renovations.com. The name you use depends on
the convention of the network protocol. This field is used to determine
the address that other servers use to access this server. |
Disabled/Enabled |
Choose Enabled so that
other servers will know the port is enabled. |
- Save the Server document.
- 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.
If you are adding an additional TCP/IP port on a computer
with multiple NICs, see the Binding topics in the related information.
If you are adding an additional NetBIOS port on a computer with multiple
NICs, see the information about creating additional network ports
for NetBIOS.
