Defining a GroupWise Remote Profile

A GroupWise Remote profile must be configured for the Async Gateway before GroupWise can
support dial-up connections from the GroupWise Windows client in Remote mode. The profile
defines the connection used by remote GroupWise users or groups of users to connect to
GroupWise.
A single profile can be used by any number of remote GroupWise users, depending on the message
traffic. If you prefer, you can create only one profile for all the remote GroupWise users you are
responsible for.
The GroupWise Hit the Road feature pulls information from the profile to define the remote
connections that the GroupWise Windows client uses when connecting to the GroupWise system
through the Async Gateway. This process makes it possible for remote GroupWise users to
configure their connections without any information from you.
To define a GroupWise Remote Profile:

The Redial Attempts setting should be set to the default value of 5. If you want the Remote
users to use another setting, keep them informed.
The Redial Retry Interval setting should be 1 minute. If you want the Remote users to use
another setting, keep them informed.
The Network Connection Information setting should be the path to the user's post office.
The Network Disconnect Method should be configured as When All Updates Are Received,
Do Not Wait for Responses.
The Time Zone Information setting should be the Remote user's time zone.
In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Domain object where you created the Async
Gateway.
Right-click the Async Gateway object, then click Properties.
Click GroupWise Remote Profiles.
Click Create to display the Remote Profile dialog box.
Fill in the fields:
Gateway Login ID: You can use any string of characters you want, but the ID should be
descriptive. Try using a string a group of users could identify as the correct connection. For
example, you could use Sales for the Login ID used by your field salespeople.
Password: The access password to the Async Gateway. Provide a password that a group of
users can easily remember.
