    Server Administration Introduction 1 Introduction This manual is written for the administrator of a MRS Server. First a short overview of the server will be presented, following with a description of the individual components as well as start and stop procedures of the server. Next the administration of the database will be discussed along with all associated tasks.

    Server Administration Concepts 2 Concepts 2.1 MRS Structure The MRS Kernel is built upon four components: Message Transfer Agent (MTA), Database (Infostore), Extended Message Reporter Service (XMRSvc), and Name Locator (NameLoc). Access to the kernel is through the various Access Protocol Lay- ers (APLs) which implement the external protocols e.g.

Monitor processes distributed over the network, can be logged-in with XMR- Service giving various and dissimilar system reports. In this way, special surveillance MRS Monitors can also be configured.

If a server is connected with seven logical fax lines to the net- work, and the network to the public exchange, these seven logical fax lines could be individually selected through the use of CLASS.

This method can also be used for shutting down and restarting individual components. In most cases the service MRS Administrator (MRS) has the Startup type Automatic. With this setting the MRS Server is automatically started when the computer is started.

    Server Administration Stop and Deinstallation of Individual Components from the Commandline. An attempt is made to incorporate meaningful default values, but a complete configuration of the component should be subsequently performed from the MRS Monitor. Several components e.g. the Exchange Gateway APL require a greater expenditure and therefore should only be installed through the Setup pro- gram.

In the MRS Client, select the option File Poll and enter the dialing number of the desired document as address for the selected service Fax G3 Poll .
  • Page 43 Server Administration Telematic Gateways Two methods of validation are possible: Users are entered in the database of both systems. In the database of the remote system an additional data field is configured for the name of the remote MRS Server. A data field is also created for each user in the remote system with the account name of the user.

A specific access calling number and a (PIN) take you to the administrator area where administrative functions can be executed per voice menu. The Fax-on-Demand server requires the setting of the corresponding E-script in the Telematic APL (ISDN APL).
  • Page 53 Server Administration Telematic Gateways The voice menu enables the caller, after a greeting, to select documents via DTMF entries. The advantage of this version is that an arbitrary number of documents can be stored and the document number may have an arbitrary length. Besides that the caller can poll any number of fax documents during a call since they can be selected one after another in an entry loop.

In the event that no explicit authorization per password is desired, the AUTH function must be switched off via the registry. 4.2.3.1 POP3 and IMAP4 Servers SMTP always attempts to deliver the messages directly to the recipient. Since the majority of computers are not in continuous operation, and few are directly connected to the Internet, the POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) Server acts as an intermedi- ate storage facility until POP3 clients pick-up their mail.

    Server Administration Email Gateways Example: NVS.FAXG3/[email protected] This would send the email as a fax transmission. If the SMTP gateway was so con- figured, the switching authorities would be checked, and the originator must be assigned fax G3 transmission privileges. If this is not done, anyone from within the Internet could address the MRS Server in this way and send fax messages.
