R12 Recap: X.400 Quick Config

Continuing with our re-cap of features within Isode's latest release, R12, in this post we're looking at the X.400 Quick Configuration Wizard.

With previous Isode releases we've shipped a 'Quick Configuration Wizard', a tool that enabled quick setup of pure X.400 or X.400 MIXER configurations. With R12 the scope of the Quick config has been dramatically extended so that it now covers a wide range of X.400 messaging scenarios:

• Aviation CAAS or Aviation XF: These are standard X.400 configurations, with the option of setting up an ATN Directory. The users can be based on the Common AMHS Addressing Scheme (CAAS) or XF Addressing Scheme (click here for more information on aviation solutions).
• EDI: Standard X.400 configuration with support for EDI content types (click here for more information on EDI solutions).
• Military: Standard X.400 configuration with support for military content types (click here for more information on military messaging solutions).
• MIXER: Demonstrating conversion between X.400 and Internet messaging (click here for more information on M-Switch MIXER).
• Pure X.400: a 'pure X.400' configuration without market-specific settings (click here for more information on Isode's X.400 products).

Whichever scenario you choose, Quick Config will configure the test system within a matter of minutes, allow the sending of test messages as part of the configuration process and launch our X.400 test system, XUXA, for further testing.

Quick Config is installed as part of M-Switch and the X.400 messaging options are described in detail in the M-Switch X.400 Evaluation Guide linked from documents section of this evaluation page. Quick Config will configure all of the elements of a test system, including M-Vault and M-Box (for MIXER), you should therefore ensure that you have M-Switch, M-Box and M-Vault installed before running Quick Config. If you have already installed versions of Isode products earlier than R12, please remember to read the Release Notes for information on upgrading to R12.
