Specifying Driver Parameter Values

For each driver listed in the Communications Drivers and Profiles view, driver parameter data is displayed in the Driver Parameters list. For each driver parameter, a flag indicates whether the parameter requires a value.

Driver parameter values can be provided in one of two ways:

• By setting a default value for a driver parameter. For more information, see Setting Driver Parameter Default Values, below.
• By specifying an override value for the parameter in each profile you create for the driver. For more information, see Defining Communications Profiles.

Driver parameter values are in effect for all profiles using the driver, unless you override parameter values for a given profile.

Values for many parameters are likely to be specific to your site (such as a server name) or to an individual profile (such as a mailbox name).

NOTE:  For any required parameter for which no value has been provided as a driver parameter, a value must be provided for the parameter, for each profile, in the form of a profile parameter override. If any parameter is expected to be specified as an profile parameter override, then the driver parameter must first be defined in the Driver Parameters list.
