TRANSFER X400 Domain
Names
TRANSFER X400 names are functionally like simple TRANSFER names, but they
contain more attributes to provide routing information. An X400 user refers to a
TRANSFER correspondent by specifying the TRANSFER system domain as part of the
X400 name.
The conventions for the X400 form of TRANSFER correspondent names include the
following:
Country names that are alphabetic have two characters; country names that are
numeric have one to three digits.
ADMD names have up to 16 characters.
PRMD names have up to 16 characters.
The characters in these names are of the type printable-string, as defined by the X.409
standards. Refer to the Tandem OSI/MHS Management Programming Manual for more
information on these conventions.
The country name, the ADMD name, and the PRMD name that are assigned to a
TRANSFER correspondent come from the configuration parameters when the gateway
is installed on a node. All TRANSFER correspondents registered on nodes grouped
into the same domain have the same country, ADMD, and PRMD names.
You specify these three X400 names in the X4DEFLTS file when you install the
TRANSFER X400 gateway, using the reconfigurable parameters, X4Country,
X4ADMDName, and X4PRMDName.
The values that you specify for the country, ADMD, and PRMD name attributes of
your TRANSFER X400 correspondents must match those defined for the MTA that is
defined for the X.400 side of the gateway node. The Tandem OSI/MHS Configuration
and Management Manual tells you how to configure MTAs.
As explained in Section 3, "The X400 Gateway," in a Tandem X400 network the
organization name is the name of the node where the correspondent is registered. The
backslash in the node name is not included in the X400 name. The surname part of the
personal name is the TRANSFER correspondent name.
Note
Tandem recommends that you do not specify a personal name when configuring a TRANSFER X400
gateway. A generic configuration is easier to maintain.
