Configuring the NotifyLink Enterprise Server

This section directs you in system setup procedures after a new installation of the NotifyLink Enterprise Server (NLES).  Once the NotifyLink components and any applicable hotfixes have been installed on your server(s) you will want to access the Administrative Web console and begin setting up the NotifyLink environment for use.

 

The following is a list of topics outlining the steps to configure NLES after a new installation and links to where you can find information on those steps. 

 

The Essentials:  What to Do to Get Up and Running
The essentials are listed in the order in which they should be performed.

   Add New Licenses.  Link here for instructions on entering product keys for the various types of user seats on the NotifyLink Enterprise Server.

   Add the Mail Server.  Link here for information on how to add and configure the server(s) that NLES will access for email retrieval.

   Define Administration Logins.  (Optional)  Link here for instructions on how you can assign varying levels of system access to administrative logins.  Enables you to map organizational roles with levels of system security.

   Set Server IT Policy Rules and Device IT Policy Rules.  Link here for instructions on how to set permissions and default formats for user accounts and devices.  You will want to define policy rules before you start adding user accounts so that they are configured properly as you add them. 

   Define User Classes.  (Optional, but you might want to do it before adding users, so that you can categorize users as you add them.)  Link here for instructions on how to set up user classes that give you the ability to categorize users into groups.  User classes can give you quick access to groups of users for organization purposes or for performing group-level actions.

   Add New Users.  Link here for information on how to add and define user accounts on the server.

   Initialize User Accounts.  Link here for details concerning initializing user accounts if you are processing mail or PIM from GroupWise, or MDaemon systems.   End users will need to initialize their accounts by logging in to their collaboration suite account once before attempting to use NotifyLink.  See Add New Users: Initializing User Accounts for more information.

   Install Device Client Software.  Link here for device client installers.  Refer to the device user guides for instructions on how to install each type of device.

 

What Else:  Configurations to Set at Your Leisure
