Users In addition to the people who will use HP Desk, the individual HP Desk Administrators have to consider General Delivery, test users and the use of native names. General Delivery When sizing the Global Database, each Administrator must add to the number of conventional users: * One General Delivery for each hierarchically addressable location. * One General Delivery for each local mailnode. Planning Test Users The Network Co-ordinator can also decide to configure a dummy user on the HP Desk system on each of the HP 3000s in the network. Once the network is built, a message set to ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIVED can be sent to each of the computers in the network everyday to check that the data communication links are still working. If the message isn't received, the HP Desk Administrator at the computer transmitting the message can contact the HP Desk Administrator at the computer to which the message was sent and find out if the problem is with the data communication line, the computer or the HP Desk software. Although test users are not a prerequisite for an operational HP Desk system, they are a simple refinement which can help HP Desk Administrators spot problems with mail transmission before a backlog of undelivered mail can build up. Native User Names The USASCII user name is recognized throughout the HP Desk network and can be interpreted by any computer. Where a computer has a native database configured containing non-USASCII user names, mail can be dispatched or delivered by means of these native names. Mail addressed in this way, that is intended for onward transmission beyond the local computer, will have the name of the addressee converted to USASCII.
