Configuring the ISP Dial-up Connection wizard

You need to configure a dial-up connection profile before using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) scheduler function to send large amounts of e-mail through an Internet service provider.

You can use the Internet service provider (ISP) Dial-up Connection wizard to configure the ISP dial-up connection profile. If you do not have AT&T Global Network support, see Configuring a dial-up mail connection profile for a preliminary step.

The connection wizard provides you with the IP addresses of the mail servers (SMTP and POP), their assigned domain name, account name, and password.

To run the wizard and configure your SMTP scheduler, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your system > Network > Remote Access Services.

2. Right-click Originator Connection Profiles and select New AT&T Global Network Dial Connection.

3. On the Welcome panel, click Next to get started.

4. On the Application Type panel, select Mail exchange application and click Next.

5. Continue with the wizard to set up a new AT&T Global Network dial connection.

When you have configured the dial-up connection, you are ready to schedule batch ISP e-mail jobs.
