X400: Differences Between, Advantages of Field & Type (86983)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 3.0
This article was previously published under Q86983 SUMMARY
Field and type addressing templates are selected from the X.400 listing
maintenance in the Admin program. The template used has two distinct
differences:
- The ability to enter address information
- The presentation of the address to the user, should the user query
the nature of the X.400 address.
MORE INFORMATION
The field addressing method uses a set of X.400 fields, each of which
contains a template that helps the administrator enter the X.400 address
information. The field entry also passes the information to the client
interface, so users can see the template describing the complex X.400
address. The disadvantage to the field format is a restriction in the
number of address variables available to the X.400 addressing. The
template allows only for the most widely-used address variables.
A one-line template is used to enter the X.400 address information when
the type address is selected. The disadvantage to the one-line template
is its lack of user friendliness when a user requests additional
information for a particular person's full name identification from the
user list. The advantage to the one-line format is that it can enter all
parameters available for the X.400 addresses.
