Creating a Network Dialup connection
To connect a local IBM® 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.
IBM 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.
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.
