Before configuring a TCP/IP channel, you must select a domain name 
(e.g., "naples.example.com") for each of the 
machines which will run PMDF. Associated with each domain name is an IP 
address (e.g., 192.168.1.1). If the 
implementation of TCP/IP which you use supports domain literals and you 
want to configure PMDF to use domain literal addressing (e.g., 
bob@[192.168.1.1]), then you will also want to have at 
hand the IP addresses for each of the machines for which PMDF will be 
configured.
The pmdf configuration utility will create TCP/IP channels 
for you. If you use this utility to configure TCP/IP channels, then 
many configuration steps will have been performed for you. On OpenVMS 
you must still be sure to disable the native SMTP server, as described 
in Section 23.1.3. On all platforms, be sure to complete all the 
configuration utility checklist steps, including configuring the PMDF 
Service Dispatcher. Process Software strongly recommends that the 
configuration utility be used to configure TCP/IP channels. 
Documentation on the configuration utility can be found in the 
appropriate edition of the PMDF Installation Guide.
