- OVERVIEW
-
- MHSACTIV is an MHS gateway which will automatically activate
- any internetwork hosts that have been deactivated.
-
- Internetwork hosts will be deactivated by MHS if an error occurs
- when the MHS Connectivity Manager tries to connect to that
- internetwork host. These errors could occur because a bridge
- is temporarily down, or because a backup program has disabled
- network logins.
-
- Unfortunately, once the host has been deactivated, the MHS
- administrator must manually reactivate the host in MHS before
- any connections will again occur.
-
- MHSACTIV automates this approach by running as an MHS gateway
- process. Each cycle it looks for internetwork hosts that have
- been deactivated, and reactivates them.
-
- MHSACTIV is provided for your use "free of charge". The MHSACTIV
- program can be freely distibuted in an unmodified format, as long
- as it is not distributed in exchange for any form of compensation,
- and as long as this documentation file accompanies the executable.
-
- If you like MHSACTIV, we'd like to invite you to check out some of
- our network products, which are listed in the section below.
-
- And if you really like MHSACTIV, and you feel so moved that an
- irrepressible urge comes over you to send us money, then while that
- is certainly not required, we would just hate to ruin that "special
- magic of the moment", and would be happy to accept any and all
- contributions.
-
-
-
- INSTALLING MHSACTIV
-
- 1.) Take your MHS server off-line. (Exit the MHS Connectivity Manager).
-
- 2.) Run the executable program, MHSACTIV.EXE.
- This program will create a gateway named -MHSACT, and perform
- all of the necessary setup work.
-
- 3.) Restart your MHS server.
-
-
- If for some reason you wish to remove MHSACTIV from your system,
- use the MHS Directory Manager to delete the -MHSACT gateway.
-
-
- NEW FEATURE
-
- MHSACTIV can now automatically reactivate any deactivated host.
- After installing MHSACTIV, go into the MHS Directory Manager,
- modify the "-MHSACT" gateway definition to include "ALL" in the
- Gateway Commands field.

- MHS GATEWAYS AND UTILITIES
- --------------------------
-
- * MHS Scheduler - An MHS mail agent that provides greater flexibility
- in configuring when MHS will connect to a host. On a host-by-host
- basis, the MHS administrator can configure different frequencies of
- forced connections based on different times of the day, with
- separate weekday, weekend, and holiday scheduling possible.
- MHS gateways and internetwork connections can also be scheduled.
- The companion RunIT! utility simplifies the creation of batch file
- gateways...now you can run your tape backup system on your MHS
- server.
-
- * PageIT! - An MHS gateway connecting MHS-based electronic mail
- systems to full text alphanumeric pagers. Once configured,
- sending messages to an alphanumeric pager is as simple as
- sending a message from your favorite MHS application.
-
- * ForwardIT! - An MHS mail agent for automatically forwarding
- MHS based electronic mail messages. ForwardIT! can forward
- (or copy) messages addressed to an MHS address to an alternate
- address.
-
- ForwardIT! is most useful in the MHS remote e-mail environment.
- By remote, we refer to field workers or business travelers who
- operate ExpressIT! Remote, or other MHS compatible remote
- software, on a PC or laptop to access their electronic mail
- from a distant location. Examples could include a salesperson
- between sales calls, a business traveler in a hotel room,
- or work-at-home scenarios.
-
- Without ForwardIT!, when mail is sent to a recipient's office
- address, MHS does not allow for a remote user to dial into the
- network and retrieve mail waiting for their office address. Mail
- addressed to this office address can only be picked up at the
- office.
-
- In order to send a message to the user's MHS remote, the sender
- must assume responsibility for sending a copy of the message to
- the remote MHS address.
-
- With ForwardIT!, the user leaves a forwarding address at the
- office, and while they're out, all messages will be forwarded,
- or copied, to their forwarding address, giving users transparent
- access to their electronic mail while away from the office.
-
- This forwarding address can be any valid MHS address, including
- addresses via MHS gateways.
-
- * MhsQ! - An MHS gateway interface to NetWare print queues.
- Messages can be sent via MHS to a NetWare print queue.
- This capability can be useful for MHS remote sites and/or
- MHS enabled applications for generating printed output
- and/or reports.
-
- Sample applications for MhsQ! include generating work orders to
- a printer via MHS.
-
- * MHSNotify! - A TSR which runs on the MHS mail server only, and
- automatically notifies recipients of new electronic mail
- received from remote MHS sites, or across internetwork
- connections. An excellent alternative to MHSALERT for
- DaVinci e-mail users! (MHSNotify! is bundled with ExpressIT!)
