Supporting GroupWise Windows Client Users in Remote Mode

Remote of the GroupWise Windows client lets GroupWise users connect to their GroupWise
mailboxes over a modem and have most of the functionality that the GroupWise Windows client
has in Online mode. With the help of an Async Gateway connection, remote GroupWise users can
update their Remote Mailboxes and send requests to their Master Mailboxes on the GroupWise
system.

Remote Mode Concepts

Remote mode lets users perform most GroupWise functions while they are away from the office.
These functions include sending and receiving mail, scheduling meetings, writing notes, and
assigning tasks.
Remote mode can be set up on a laptop, docking computer, or a desktop computer at a remote site.
When you use GroupWise in the office in Online mode, the mailbox you open is the Master
Mailbox. When you use GroupWise in Remote mode, the mailbox you open is the Remote
Mailbox. A docking computer can connect directly using the Hit the Road feature and download
the Address Book and items in the Master Mailbox. However, to connect users away from the
office, GroupWise in Remote mode requires the GroupWise Async Gateway or the GroupWise
X.25 Gateway. For information about setting up a remote user, see:
"Using Remote Mode"
"Using Remote Mode"
When setting up the GroupWise Windows client in Remote mode, keep the following
considerations in mind:
Remote users must have passwords set on their mailboxes. Passwords are case-sensitive.
Users must be prepared to provide the following information:
The Modem Disconnect Method should be configured as When All Updates Are Received,
Do Not Wait for Responses.
