Collaboration Settings

How to get here

Use this page to set and modify the Collaboration settings for the Client and Server, the log settings, the synchronization options for attachments and appointments, and to allow users to self-administer their client folders.

Client Update Settings

Specify the number of minutes between automatic client updates.

• Update Frequency (minutes). In the text box, enter the number in minutes of how frequently the client will connect to the Collaboration server in order to synchronize.
• Clients may set their own synchronization schedule. Select the check box to allow users to set their own synchronization schedules. Users will be able to set their own schedules for synchronization in their Outlook client.

Server Settings

Specify the interfaces and the port that the Collaboration server will listen on.

• Interface. The list box defaults to All Interfaces; however, if the server has more than one IP address, you can listen on that specific interface by selecting the appropriate IP address from the list box.

  Note: You might typically want to change from All Interfaces to a specific IP address if the server is connected to both the LAN and directly to the Internet on different interfaces, and you only want the server to listen on the local interface.

• Listen On. Choose one of three options:
  • Unsecure port only. Select this option if you want to listen only on an unsecure port.
  • Secure port only. Select this option if you want to listen only on a secure port.
  • Both secure and unsecure ports. Select this option if you want to listen on both unsecure and secure ports.
• Unsecure Port. In the text box, enter the port number for non-secure communications. The default port number is 8100. You will not be able to enter anything in the text box if you have chosen the Secure port only option.
• Secure Port. In the text box, enter the port number for secure (SSL) communications. The default port number is 8101.

Note: If you change either the Interface or the Port setting, you must re-run the client setup program on all client computers so they will recognize the new settings.

Log Settings

• Log Communications. Select this check box if you want to configure the server to log every transaction with each client to a log file. The file will contain general details of transactions between the server and the clients.
• Verbose Logging. Select this check box if you want the log file to contain specific details for each record. You will be unable to select this check box if the Log Communications check box is clear.

Attachment Synchronization

• Synchronize attachments and images on contacts, appointments, and tasks. Select this option if you want to synchronize attachments and images associated with contacts, appointments, and tasks.
• Synchronize attachments and images on e-mail. Select this option if you want to synchronize attachments and images for e-mail.

Note. Be aware that such items may be large and might take considerable bandwidth and storage when synchronizing. You can select neither, one, or both of the options above.

Appointment Synchronization

• Synchronize all appointments. Select to allow users to synchronize all their appointments.
• Synchronize appointments from specified number of weeks in the past. Select to allow users to synchronize all their appointments from a specified number of weeks in the past. Enter the desired number in the text box.

Client Folder Administration

Select one of the following to allow users to administer access to their folders (via the Outlook client) or not:

• Users can administer access to their folders by default
• Users cannot administer access to their folders by default
