Chapter 10 Configuring an HP Desk Network
Use this chapter to help you define ways your local system communicates
with an HP Desk network. This chapter helps you calculate the values you
need to configure your system for:
* Expanding your configuration to suit the network.
* Routes between computers.
* Transmission times.
* Directory synchronization.
Chapter 9 gives advice on configuring the databases for a
single-computer HP Desk system. If your computer is just one in a
network of computers that are to communicate via HP Desk, you must expand
the configuration to record details of the rest of the network in the
local computer's database. This task falls into a number of areas:
* Adding Directory information about any other countries, mailnodes,
and users on other computers in the network.
* Providing information about how the local computer will link to
any remote computers with which it will communicate directly.
* Defining routes by which all remote mailnodes will be reached, in
terms of the remote computer to which mail will first be
forwarded.
Some of the main fields used when you configure an HP Desk network are
listed in this chapter, together with explanatory notes to help you
decide on their suitability for your network. Details of every field,
its permitted value range, and the screen at which it can be specified
are described in Chapter 12 .
