About this task

To configure Adapter for X.400's communication parameters:

Procedure

  2. In the navigation area, click Communication.
    Adapter Communication
  3. In the IBM webMethods Adapter for X.400 > Communication section, configure the following fields:
    Field Description/Action
    Service profile Specify the name of the UA-FI configuration to use for communication with the X.400 message store and click Set.
    Note: You can find the UA-FI communication parameters in the following files:
    • maxware.ini, which includes configuration parameters used by UA-FI
    • <service profile>.prf, which contains Mail Service-specific parameters (e.g., addresses to the X.400 message store)
    For more information about the UA-FI-parameters, see the UA-FI Programmer’s Guide.
    Transport max TPDU Specify the maximum number of octets contained in a TPDU and click Set. This value is a result of negotiation between the communicating transport layers. Possible values are 128, 256, 512, 1024 and 2048. For best performance, use a larger number, e.g., 2048.
    MS address Specify Message Store (MS) address and click Set. The address contains the necessary addressing information, including network DTE-address, TSAP, SSAP and PSAP of the Message Store. When specify the Message Store address, consider the following:
    • Separate the values using the character ‘/’’.
    • Prefix network address values with /Net=. The network value you specify is case-sensitive.
    • Prefix TSAP values with /TSAP-ID=. The TSAP value you specify is case-sensitive.
    • Prefix SSAP values with /SSAP-ID=. The SSAP value you specify is case-sensitive.
    • Prefix PSAP values with /PSAP-ID=. The PSAP value you specify is case-sensitive.
    • Start the value of a Service Access Point with 0x if you want to specify a hexadecimal value. The value must consist of a sequence of pairs of hexadecimal digits(0-F). If you specify non-hexadecimal characters, the non-hexadecimal characters are ignored. If you do not specify an even number of hexadecimal digits, the value you specify is padded with zeros (0).
    UTC offset Specify the difference between your local time and the GMT in hours and click Set.
    Protocol Specify the communication driver to use for communication with the message store and click Set. The X.400 Gateway supports TCP/IP and ISDN (Windows only) communication modules (drivers) that access different networks.
    • If you specify TCP/IP for Protocol, in the TCP/IP field, specify the TCP/IP port number to the Message Store. Specify a port number between 0 and 65535. The default port number is 102.
    • If you select ISDN(Windows only) for Protocol
      • In the ISDN number field, specify the telephone number to the Message Store.
      • In the ISDN submitdelay field, specify the number of seconds for the delay of an ISDN submit.
      • In the MS IP address field, specify the IP address to the Message Store, using standard IP format (e.g., 192.168.1.123).
    CAUTION:
    • Anytime you change one of the parameters on this screen, you must click Set again to update the value.
    • If you update values and click Set when the adapter is enabled, the adapter is automatically disabled. You should test the connection before enabling the adapter. For instructions for testing the connection, see Testing Adapter Connection. To enable the adapter:
      1. From the home page of the X400 package, click Main in Integration Server Administrator's navigation area.
      2. In the Adapter status section, click Adapter is disabled. Press here to enable the adapter.
