Understanding X.400 Connectors

  • Article

 

Typically, you use X.400 connectors in the following situations:

  • If your environment has an existing X.25 network.

  • If you are connecting to an X.400 system or an Exchange 5.5 server outside your organization.

    Note

    Although you can use X.400 connectors to connect routing groups in Exchange, the routing group connector is recommended.

You can create two types of connectors on Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition: TCP X.400 connectors and X.25 X.400 connectors. The TCP connector enables connectivity over a TCP/IP network, and the X.25 connector enables connectivity using X.25.

To configure an X.400 connector, follow these steps:

  1. Create an X.400 protocol stack.

  2. Create an X.400 connector.
