Null Modem Connection: How to set it up

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I have two servers, one as Web- Server with an official IP- Adress and one as an internal Server. Both are in different Networks. These networks are not connected to each other, and I am not allowed to establish a connection (via Crossover- Cable or through a Firewall or however)

The only thing I am allowed to do, is to temporarily connect both Servers via Null Modem Cable.

I know how to configure a port for using the Null Modem- mdm file.

I know how to cross-certificate

I know how to create connection documents.

But i do not know, what I have to type in in a connection document, to get this thing to work.

Which type of connection document do I need ?

Do I need a “virtual” phone-number? if so: Where do I have to configure this number.

Do I need to configure the connection in Windows 2000 ? Or does W2K not need to know about this connection (same as Modems: they do not need to be known in the OS, I only need the correct mdm-File)

Is there a step-by-step- tutorial for achieving this somewhere in the web ?

I search ldd, I searched the Knowledgebase, I searched the Web (via google), but I could not find any hints.

Thanx in advance

I am sorry, that I posted such a simple question… I just tried and it worked immediately:

Steps to connect two servers via NULL MODEM:

Set up the ports on both servers using the …Null Modem- MDM- file

Create a Dialup- connection document.

use a phantasy- number (I also put in this number in the other Server- document. Did not try, if this is really neccessary).

Connect both Servers with the Serial Null Modem Cable.

Done.

best regards
