When using Notes Direct Dialup connections, Domino uses the X.PC protocol driver. The X.PC protocol driver is installed automatically when you install a Domino server. It links Domino to a computer's operating system and the hardware devices that handle the communication.

Notes Direct Dialup connections use Domino security and thus offer tighter security than Network Dialup connections to a remote access server.

1. Make sure that you already installed a modem and that one exists on the destination server.

2. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab.

3. Click Server, and then click Connections.

4. Click Add Connection.

5. Select Notes Direct Dialup in the "Connection type" field.

6. Complete these fields:

Field	Description
Source server	The name of the calling server.
Source domain	The name of the calling server's domain.
Use the port(s)	The name of the communications port that the calling or source server uses.
Always use area code	Specifies whether the source server always uses the area code when dialing. Choose one: Yes - The server always includes the area code to dial, even when dialing numbers in the area code defined in the source server's Server document. Use this option if your phone system requires an area code for local calls. No - (default) The server includes the area code only when dialing numbers outside the local area code.
Usage priority	Choose one: Normal (default) - Select this option if this document defines the primary path to a server. Low - Select this option to define a backup path to a server. For more information about the effect of specifying the usage priority for a connection, see the topic Forcing a server connection to use a specific protocol.
Destination server	The name of the remote server.
Destination domain	The name of the remote server's domain.
Destination country code	The country code for the remote server. Enter this number only if it's required to complete the call.
Destination area code	The remote server's area/city code. Enter this number only if it's required to complete the call.
Destination phone number	The phone number of the remote server.
Login script file name	The name of the connect script to use when connecting to the remote server. Supply this file name only if additional information is required to authenticate with the destination server after dialing completes.
Login script arguments	Between 1 and 4 values used by the login script when authenticating with the destination server. For example, enter a login name and password if the login scripts must provide these elements when connecting to the destination server. The script uses the values in the order in which they are entered. Values entered in this field are not encrypted and are displayed in the clear.

7. Click the Replication/Routing and Schedule tabs to define the tasks you want to run, and select the times you want the server to call its destination.

8. 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.

For more information about setting up network data encryption for a port, see the topic Encrypting network data on a server port.
