NOTE There maybe other types of gateways available at this screen, if these have been purchased. For example, X.400 or SNADS gateways.
NS/DS Computer Information Use the NS/DS Computer Information screen to record information about the way your local computer links to other computers over the network. This screen is reached by pressing Computer Menu at the Network Menu.
NOTE If you require to link with systems with versions of HP Desk earlier than B.05.00, then you can only use DS transport.
NS/DS Computer Information Computer Name An 8-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a remote computer. This name is the local name of the remote computer, which was specified when its database was built. Obtain the name from the Administrator of the other computer. NS/DS Use this field to specify whether the local computer communicates with either NS/3000 or DS/3000 as a transport system. Type 1 to specify NS. Type 2 to specify DS. Node Name This field is 50-characters long and is used to contain the NS or DS Node name of remote computers linked through X.21 or X.25. This identifies the DS or NS node to DS/3000 or NS/3000. This parameter is not required if you are using the DS transport mechanism and supply a DS device class or number. Maximum Trucks:...Sending This two character numeric field contains values between 1 and 36. The recorded value defines the maximum number of NS and DS Master Trucks sending information to the remote computer. If the Receiving value at the remote computer is not the same as this Sending value, the lower of the two values is used. The default value is 1. Maximum Trucks:...Receiving This 2-character numeric field contains values between 1 and 36. The recorded value defines the maximum number of NS and DS Slave Trucks receiving information from the remote computer. The default value is 1. Data Compression: Set this value to 1 if you require data compression to be enabled when communicating with the specified NS computer, and 0 or a space to disable data compression.
NOTE This option is only available to users of HP DeskManagerPLUS and will only be effective if HP DeskManagerPLUS is installed on the specified computer.
NS IP Address This field applies to NS linked systems only. Use this field to optionally specify the NS IP address of the remote computer. If an IP Address is configured, then a check is run to ensure that incoming Master Trucks verify their address. This provides greater security since it guards against applications masquerading as Master Trucks. DS Device This field applies to DS linked systems only. This field is ignored for NS Transport. It is an 8-character field that identifies either a device class or a device number. For DS either this field or the node field, can be used. Both fields can never be used together. DS Node An 8-character field used only for remote computers linked through X.21 or X.25, which identifies the name of the DS node to DS/3000. This parameter is not required if you supply a DS device class or number. Phone Number This field only applies to DS linked computers. A 20-character field that identifies, for dialled connections, the telephone number of the modem attached to the remote computer. In addition to the number, the following characters can be included: / Separator used for ACUs (Automatic Calling Unit/Autodialer) that have a second dial tone detect. E End of number D Delay of 1 second # Defined by the local telephone system * Defined by the local telephone system HPOFFICE: Account password This field only applies to DS linked devices. An 8-character field for the password of the HPOFFICE account on the remote computer. The Master Truck uses this when logging on to the remote computer. By default this is blank. HPOFFICE: User password This field only applies to DS linked devices. An 8-character field for the password of the MAILMAN user (in the HPOFFICE account on the remote computer). By default this is blank. Computer Availability Each four character field represents the time span of one hour, where each of the four characters fields represent a fifteen minute period. The values below define the availability as follows: 0 The computer is not available for this 15-minute period. 1 [Not used at present] 2 Only urgent mail can be sent during this 15-minute period. 3 Both normal and urgent mail can be sent. 4 All mail can be sent. This includes mail that could not be delivered because, at the last attempt to transmit, there was temporarily not sufficient space in the remote system's database. This mail is put in the deferred mail queue. You display a list of all the remote computers that have been identified in your HP Desk network by pressing List. NS/DS Computer List A list of all the remote computers that have been defined in your HP Desk network is displayed by pressing List at the NS/DS Computer Information screen. An example display is shown below.NS/DS Computer List Route Information At the Route Information screen you record the computer or gateway name through which messages will be sent. These messages will reach users at a particular remote mailnode. This screen is reached by pressing Route Menu at the Network Menu.Route Information Route Location A 6-character, alphanumeric code that identifies the location part of a mailnode address. Sublocation A 2-character alphanumeric code that identifies the sublocation part of a mailnode address. Computer/Gateway An 8-character, alphanumeric code, starting with a letter, which uniquely identifies a remote computer or an EFT/FSC gateway, on your computer. Route Priority Optionally specifies a restriction on the priority of mail allowed to be transported over this route. A means deferred mail only. B means normal and deferred mail only. All values must already exist in the database. To Add or Delete a route, complete all fields. Hierarchic locations do not require a sublocation code. The two types of list available are described on the next page. Press List to access them. Route List A list of all the remote computers through which a particular mailnode is accessed, is displayed by typing a location and sublocation and then pressing List. Only explicitly configured routes are listed: any defaulted routes are not shown. An example of this display is shown below.Route List A list of all the mailnodes that are accessed through a specified computer or gateway can be listed by typing the computer or gateway name and then pressing List. An example of this display is shown below.Route List External File Transfer/Foreign ServiceConnection Use the EFT/FSC screen to configure the details of gateways for your HP Desk installation. This screen is reached when you press EFT/FSC Menu at the Network Menu.External File Transfer/ Foreign Service Connection Gateway Name A mandatory 8-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies the gateway. Connecting IPC file name A mandatory 36-character field which identifies the IPC file for the gateway. The filename must be qualified with the group and account. Format of messages to be transmitted A numeric value specifies the format in which messages leave the gateway. As follows these are: 1 An EFT gateway where messages remain in the internal HP Desk format. This is the default. 2 An FSC gateway with messages in ARPA Standard format. 3 An FSC gateway with messages in hybrid ARPA Reference format. This format includes ARPA headers and MPE file names. 4 An FSC gateway with messages in ARPA Compressed format. This format removes unwanted textual matter, like the Distribution List and part numbers. Foreign System Gateway reference name A 36-character field that can be used to identify the sending system's name for this particular FSC gateway. The first character must be a period (.) or a commercial at character (@). Transmit PRIVATE messages (formats 2,3,4) Type Y to let private messages go out through an FSC gateway. Type N to destroy private letters at the gateway. The default value is N. Secure messages in PRIVILEGED files When messages are sent through this gateway to an application whose users have special privileges, you can choose to store them in privileged files. Type Y to store users' messages in privileged files. Type N so that messages sent by users with special privileges are not stored in privileged files. The default value is N. Group name to store messages Messages passed out through this gateway are stored, by default, in the HPMAIL group of the HPOFFICE account. It is possible to store the messages in any group in HPOFFICE with write and save access. Use this field to specify in which group, (other than the default group) messages are stored. Gateway availability Each four character field represents the time span of one hour, where each of the four characters fields represent a fifteen minute period. The values control the availability: 0 The computer is not available for this 15-minute period. 1 [Not currently used] 2 Only urgent mail can be sent during this 15-minute period. 3 Both normal and urgent mail can be sent. 4 All mail can be sent. That includes mail that could not successfully transmitted at the last attempt. This may occur because there is temporarily insufficient space in the remote system's database and, was put in the deferred mail queue. Capabilities It is possible to set the capabilities awarded to incoming messages received from non-HP Desk systems. The default setting of the Everyone capability is Y. The other capabilities are required if you expect to receive Directory Updates through the gateway. This adds the correct level of security, and allows the incoming message to be processed by the ADMIN server.
NOTE This only applies if message format 2, 3 or 4 is selected. The capabilities are set automatically if message format 1 is selected (HP Desk internal format).
To display a list of all the EFT/FSC gateways that have been identified in your HP Desk network you press List. EFT/FSCGateway List List the EFT/FSC gateways in your network is by pressing List at the EFT/FSC Information screen. An example display is shown below.Gateway List Foreign Address Alias Information Use the Foreign Address Alias Information screen to configure a user's foreign address alias, on a particular gateway. This screen is displayed by pressing ForAlias Menu at the Network Menu.Foreign Address Alias Information Gateway Name This 8-character, alphanumeric code identifies the gateway with which the foreign address alias is to be associated. User Name This 36-character field contains the user name to which the foreign address alias is to be associated. Location This 6-character, alphanumeric code identifies the user's location. Sublocation This 2-character code specifies the sublocation, if any exists. Foreign Address This 512-character field specifies the user's foreign address alias. The address must be in a format accepted by the foreign system. Do you want this update to be applied on other sites? Type Y to apply this update on other sites. Type N so that this update is not applied to other sites. Using HP Office Connect to reach a Foreign System: If you use one of the HP Office Connect products to reach a foreign system, and the gateway to the foreign system does not exist on your machine, then type a gateway name. One of two things happen. Firstly, if the BCREPORT file is closed, an error message is displayed stating that the Gateway does not exist. Secondly, if the BCREPORT file is open, it is assumed you want to give the person a foreign alias on a machine not directly connected to your local machine. The Verification Menu is displayed. A list of all the users who have foreign addresses on a particular gateway is displayed by typing the gateway name, and then pressing List. Users' aliases are not included in this listing. When you complete the screen, select an appropriate function key. Verification The Configurator displays the Verification screen to check that you want to add a foreign address alias to the BCREPORT file.Verification The Alias information is transferred to the BCREPORT file when you press Yes. The BCREPORT file can be sent to a Remote Updates Server on a machine through HP Desk. Use this process to give users on your local machine, foreign aliases on a gateway machine within your network. It is then possible for users to access machines which do not communicate directly with their local machine, (even other manufacturers machines). Once the alias is written to the BCREPORT file, the Configurator displays the Foreign Address Alias Information screen. The alias is not applied to your Local Database. Press No to return to the Foreign Address Alias Information screen. The alias will not be applied to your Local Database. Foreign Address Alias List A list of all the users who have foreign address aliases configured at a particular gateway is displayed by pressing List at the Foreign Address Alias Information screen. An example display is shown below.Foreign Address Alias List Intrinsically Accessible Gateway Information Use the Intrinsically Accessible Gateway Information screen to configure a gateway for use with the HP Desk Intrinsics.
