USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Modifying modem command files and acquire scripts
When you modify a modem command file or acquire script, you can only modify the file on the local server. To apply a modified modem file to a remote server, edit the file locally and copy it to the Domino Data/Modems subdirectory on the remote server. Then restart the server so that the modifications take effect.

1. Use the documentation that came with the modem to determine which additional commands you must add to the modem command file.

2. From the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator, select the Server - Status tab.

3. From the Tools pane, click Server - Setup Ports.

4. From the Communication Ports box, select the modem communications port; for example, COM1.

5. Click portname Options, where portname is the name of the communications port you selected in step 4.

6. To edit a modem file, in the Modem type field, select the modem command file that you want to modify -- typically, Generic All-Speed Modem File and click Modem File.


7. Edit the content of the file as necessary. Refer to the comments at the top of the file for instructions.

8. Click Save to save the file using the current name.


9. Click Done to close the Edit dialog box, and then click OK to close each of the remaining open dialog boxes.

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. For more information about setting up network data encryption for a port, see the chapter "Setting up the Domino Network."Document Link Icon.
