ID: Q108733

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2

SUMMARY

Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 allows use of either (or both) the TP0/X.25, TP4/CLNP transports. This article explains how to set up the TP0/X.25 transport in the EiconCard Server mode.

MORE INFORMATION

With this configuration, the EiconCard and OSI LAN Gateway software are both installed on a PC. This PC, acting as an EiconCard server, is used to run the X.400 gateway. The EiconCard is also shared out for other systems to use the EiconCard Redirector to connect to the EiconCard.

To use this configuration:

On the Gateway PC, install the EiconCard and the OSI LAN Gateway DOS GATEWAY software.

In the Gateway PC, modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set up the computer as an EiconCard server.

The following example shows part of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for a Gateway PC that is an EiconCard server, servicing other redirector PCs on a Microsoft Compatible Network.

X25serv is the server name, MYPASS is the server password, and 12 is the maximum number of workstation sessions.

NET START ...

REM Starting X.25
