Mitel SME Server V5 with ServiceLink - Manual (Page 88)

Chapter 13. ServiceLink
The top part of the panel allows you to configure a service domain that is available to you after ServiceLink activation. This domain
takes the form of yourdomain
.e-smith.net and allows you to immediately start receiving e-mail and connecting to your server
using that domain.
If you wish to change the service domain name, you can do so using this panel by entering your new name and clicking the Update
button. If the domain you want is not available, you will be notified and will be able to choose another name. Service domain
changes take effect immediatly after the next synchronization with the NOC.
Warning
The change of service domain takes place upon the next synchronization of your server with the NOC and your previous
service domain will be completely removed. This includes entries for any hosts that you may have been publishing for the
previous service domain.
Mitel Networks Corporation does not guarantee the availability of a domain name and reserves the right to refuse to register any
domain name. All ServiceLink users publishing DNS domains must adhere to regulations and rules provided by ICANN and our
registrar.
13.4. IPSEC VPNs
Through the PartnerZone interface to our NOC, your Mitel Networks Corporation partner is able to very simply and easily create a
secure IPSEC VPN between your server and other ServiceLink-enabled servers. This provides an economical way of creating a
private network between different offices without having to pay for expensive VPN equipment of dedicated connections. Each
location just needs a connection to the Internet and a ServiceLink-enabled server. A VPN can be established between just two
offices, or between a wide number of offices. All communication occurs using the extremely secure IPSEC protocol, so no one can
intercept and read your data as it travels across the Internet.
Note: IPSEC VPNs can only be established between servers operating in server-and-gateway mode. If you have a server
operating in server-only mode, it will not be able to participate in an IPSEC VPN.
Once your partner has established a VPN, the web panel (shown below) will show that your server is a member of a VPN and
provide information about the other systems to which your server is connected.
