Adding remote subscribers as Lotus Notes users

This topic is for administrators on the UM for Lotus Notes 5.0 or later systems only.

On Unified Messenger for Lotus Notes 5.0 or later systems, you must administer remote subscribers as users on the Lotus Notes/Domino system. This allows subscribers on the local UM for Lotus Notes system to send TUI messages from the UM system to remote subscribers via Message Networking. You must administer the remote subscribers like other Lotus Notes users on the local UM system; however, the forwarding and Internet address must point to the remote network address via the Message Networking system.

Note: The Import Text File option within Lotus Notes/Domino is a file upload utility that you can use to upload all the remote subscribers. However, you must administer each user to edit their Person Record.

To add a remote subscriber as a Lotus Notes user for addressing via the UM TUI:

1. From Lotus Domino Administration, click the People & Groups tab.
   The contents of the People & Groups tab displays.
2. Click Add Person. This option allows you to add a person with no login capability (a contact).
   The Person page displays
3. Enter the following information about the new user:
   • First name: Type the first name of the user.
   • MI: Type the middle initial of the user.
   • Last name: Type the last name of the user.
   • User Name: Type the user's name and then press Enter to create a new line in the field. In the new line, type the user's numeric address (for example, UM_NUMERIC:3035551212).
4. Click the Mail tab and either:
   • Select Other Internet System as the Mail System and then enter the Internet address in the Forwarding address field (for example, [email protected]).
   • Select Other as the Mail System and enter the Internet address in the Other Address field.
5. Click Save and Close.
6. Wait a couple of minutes while the system updates the UM database.
7. Using a telephone, log into a local UM mailbox, create a message, and send it to the new remote subscriber mailbox using the network address (numeric address).
   If you hear the Text-to-Speech version of the ASCII name, the user was successfully added to the system.
8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for each person you need to add as a Lotus Notes user.
