Adding a network port on a server
Create a Connection document in Notes® if the HCL Notes workstation already has a port in common with the server and you still cannot connect to it. If the server port you want to add will be the Notes workstation's only means of connecting with the server, do not use this procedure. Instead, use the Ports setting in the server's NOTES.INI file.

Procedure

1. From the HCL Domino® Administrator, click the server on which you want to add a port.

2. Click the Configuration tab.

3. From the Domino Administrator's Tools pane, choose Server -> Setup Ports.

4. Click New.

5. Specify the port name and driver, and click OK.

6. Click TCP/IP Options, LANx Options, or COMx Options, and specify information as appropriate.

7. Click OK.

8. Click the Server -> Status tab.

9. From the Domino Administrator's Tools pane, chooseRestart Port. (If you can't see the Tools pane, make sure you are in the Server Tasks view.)

10. In the Server document, click the Ports -> Notes Network Ports tab, and edit these fields as necessary:

Table 1. Fields Used to Set Up Network Ports for Notes

Field	Action
Port	Enter the port name. Domino assigns a default port name to each network protocol detected on the system.
Notes Network	Enter the name of the Notes named network for the group of Domino servers that are in this location and run on a particular protocol -- for example, Boston TCPIP. Space characters are allowed in a Notes network name.
Net Address	Enter the protocol-specific name of the server -- for example, sales.renovations.com. The name you use depends on the convention of the network protocol. This field is used to determine the address that other servers use to access this server.
Disabled/Enabled	Choose Enabled so that other servers will know the port is enabled.

11. Save the Server document.

12. Make sure that this server is set up to replicate its Domino Directory to other servers, or enter the preceding changes to the Server document on a server that is set up to do the replication, or other servers will not know that they can connect to this server over the newly enabled port.

If you are adding an additional TCP/IP port on a computer with multiple NICs, see the Binding topics in the related information.
