10.2 Using the Link Configuration Tool

The Link Configuration tool helps you manage the links between the domains and post offices in your GroupWise system. The following topics help you perform basic link management tasks:

  • Accessing the Link Configuration Tool

  • Editing Domain Links

10.2.1 Accessing the Link Configuration Tool

The Link Configuration Tool is provided to help you view the links in your GroupWise system.

  1. In the GroupWise Administration Console, click System > Link Configuration to display the Link Configuration tool.

    The Source column lists all domains in your GroupWise system as the beginning point of links. The Destination column lists the end point of the links.

  2. Click some domains in the Source column to see how the Destination column changes.

    The following link type icons display beside domains in the Destination column:

    Link Icon

    Link Type/Status

    Description

    Direct Link icon

    Direct

    Routes messages directly from the source domain to the destination domain.

    Indirect Link icon

    Indirect

    Routes messages to the destination domain through one or more intermediate domains. In other words, an indirect link consists of two or more direct links.

    Gateway Link icon

    Gateway

    Routes messages to the destination domain through a gateway link to another GroupWise system.

    Undefined Link icon

    Undefined

    Stops message flow from the source domain to the destination domain.

    Link Not Synchronized icon

    Pending Modification

    Shows that you have changed link configuration information. You cannot make further changes until the link configuration information has been saved.

  3. Continue with Editing Domain Links.

10.2.2 Editing Domain Links

You cannot manage the domain links in the Link Configuration Tool. To manage the links:

  1. Navigate to Domains > Post Office Links, and select the Post Office Link you want to edit.

  2. Make your changes to the Post Office Link and click OK to save. Your changes will update the Link Configuration Tool.
