Lotus Notes and TZO

	Using TZO with Lotus Notes via a dial-up account
	TZO solves a problem for Lotus Notes Mail Routing and Database Replication when using a Dial-up account.

	TZO allows Lotus Notes administrators to set up reliable connection documents with a Notes Server that is using (or could use) a dial-up account with a dynamic IP address. TZO fixes a name to the Notes Server when it is online to route mail or replicate databases via the Internet. This is known as "Opportunistic mail routing".

	Notes administrators will also set up these type of connection documents when/if there is a problem with the dedicated or leased line between the two servers. In this case, the connection documents would allow the quick dial-up and replicate/route mail via this connection. This typically required a dial-up account with a static IP address, and this typically requires paying more money to the ISP (Internet Service Provider). Not anymore, TZO solves your problems! TZO saves time and money by giving you a static name for your server using a dynamic IP address.

	Connection records are needed only for the Initiating server when replicating. The Notes administrators would set these connection records up within the Name and Address Book

	Steps to set up TZO with Lotus Notes 4.X Connection Documents. Dial up and connect the server to the Internet Run the TZO setup utility, choose a TZO name for the server Go into the Name and Address book on the server, or the Personal Name and Address book if using a Notes Client. Go to the Connections area, and click the "add connection" button. (See below)



	Select the connection type as "LocalAreaNetwork" Select "TCPIP" as the network Port (Your servers must support the TCPIP protocol) Enter the Notes Server Name in the "Server Name" field - such as "Chicago/Sales." Under advanced section, enter the TZO Host name in the "destination Server Address" field Save the connection document

	Now, when the Leased/Dedicated line or LAN/WAN connection goes down, the destination server would run TZO, and then connect to the Internet. The initiating server would then connect to the Internet via it's dial-up connection, and then replicate/route mail to the destination server. Each destination server would need its own TZO host name. The initiating server needs the connection document.
