This chapter provides instructions for installing the SMCS PROFS client as needed, discusses the basic setup to enable directory synchronization, and provides instructions for configuring LAN clients for directory synchronization. Since not all channels require client software, this chapter may not apply to you. If you are installing the PROFS Channel SMCS component, you must also install the appropriate client software.

Note - To prepare for installation, it is recommended that you complete the PC Client Install Worksheet, included as Appendix A.

LAN Client System Requirements

Each client must be configured to match settings of its corresponding SMCS channel on the server. These channels use a client program running on a PC to transfer messages between a post office and SMCS. This software can be installed on any PC with access to post offices on the network.

Before installing PC client software, please make sure:

You installed the corresponding mail programs for all of the clients you intend to install.

		Make sure you have an OS system running OS/2 and have Comm Manager 2.0 and above installed.
		An OS/2 TCP/IP server must be installed and configured.
