TelePacific Cloud Control Panel

The Cloud Control Panel is your gateway to all of the administrative functions that you can perform on your hosted services account, including account information, adding domains to your account, creating and editing mailboxes, adding mailbox aliases, creating distribution lists, adding external contacts to your company directory, and more.

Getting Started with Exchange

This Cloud Control Panel Admin Guide defines all of the menu options and features within the Control Panel which allow you to manage your Exchange subscription service:

• Home: Returns you to the original Control Panel landing page.

• Users: Allows you to create and edit users for each of your Cloud services. • Hosted Exchange: Access to all of your email functionality

• Anti-Virus/Anti-Spam: Access to all your Boundary Defense functionality • Account: View, edit, and manage information related to your account. • Help & Support: Access to support resources

Most customers will utilize the Exchange menu options to do the following: • Assign mailboxes in your Exchange account

• Configure email aliases for Exchange mailboxes

• Create Contacts to be displayed as part of your account Global Address List (contacts are email addresses that route outside of your Exchange account)

• Define Distribution Lists (email addresses that route to one (or more) recipient, which can be any combination of mailboxes or contacts)

About MX Records

• MX Records pertain to Email servers (for exchange). • A record pertains to Web servers (for SharePoint etc.)

• Therefore, a customer like this one wants to use its existing domain e.g., customername.com, for email and start assigning [email protected].

• They have to point their MX records to the Apptix MX servers, e.g., server1.inboundmx.com and server2.inbound.mx.com

• In addition, if they want to have www.customername.com point to their SharePoint site they need to point their A records to the Apptix IP address, 199.119.194.158

• The customer must do this on their own prior to being able to activate mailboxes in the customer control panel.

• If they host their domain on another provider, they need to change those records via the domain provider’s portal.

(8)

• MX Record is the “Mail Exchange” record for your domain that routes emails for your domain to the email server(s) specified by the MX Record(s).

• MX Records typically represent multiple servers IP addresses so that if one server becomes incapacitated other servers linked to the MX Record can take over the email delivery function. • The TelePacific Email service utilizes MX Record names for mapping multiple servers for email

delivery

Updating Your Domain’s MX Records

• TelePacific client support will not be able to change your MX Records, as only the administrator of the domain itself is the only person who can update the domain’s DNS Records.

• As the administrator of your domain you should have access to an Internet website that

provides you with access to your DNS Records so that you can make the appropriate MX Record change to route your domain(s)’ email through the filtering servers.

(9)

CNAME Records (Host Aliases)

• Canonical Name (CNAME) records allow you to create alias names that correspond to existing Internet host records.

• CNAME records are helpful when pointing multiple domain names to the same host. • For example, the company Jim's Bikes, at www.jimsbikes.com, creates the host name

europe.jimsbikes.com for its European factory. The company wants to market specific branded addresses such as scotland.jimsbikes.com, ireland.jimsbikes.com, and

greatbritain.jimsbikes.com. The company can easily create new names for the same host by creating CNAME records for Scotland, Ireland, and Great Britain to the alias Europe. • When creating aliases be careful in using CNAME records because only users highly

familiar with DNS should attempt to use CNAMES. For example, you could create routing problems for all of your DNS information, including your website and e-mail.

• Understand that DNS updates will take up to 2 hours to take effect (updates may resolve more quickly at some locations than others because many name servers on the Internet retrieve updates at different times).

To update CNAME records

1. Follow instructions for accessing DNS Manager – Advanced Tools to view the DNS Manager Settings page.

2. On the DNS Manager Settings page, in the Host Aliases: CNAME Records section, click Add/Edit.

3. Your current CNAME records are listed in editable form, and any Network Solutions service that is associated with the CNAME record is listed under the Other Host text box.

4. To add/edit CNAME records:

o Enter or edit the alias name in the Alias text box.

o Select one of the two options, Refers to Host Name or Other Host.

o If you selected Refers to Host Name, select the host name from the drop-down box under the Host Name column.

o If you selected Other Host, enter or edit a name in the Other Host text field. o Click Continue.

5. To delete CNAME records:

o To the right of the CNAME record, select the check box under the Delete column. o Click Continue.

6. Review the list of requested changes. 7. Click Continue.

Your users will be able to receive email in their mailboxes shortly after the DNS settings have been applied. Registration of a new domain name, changes to the domain name servers or changes to Advanced DNS records require an update to the information stored across the Internet.
