Introduction:

Lotus Notes Traveler provides two-way, over-the-air synchronization between Domino servers andWindows Mobile handheld devices. Lotus Notes Traveler synchronizes e-mail, calendar, to-do, addressbook, and journal data in real time. New e-mail arriving in your inbox on the Domino server arrives on thedevice without you needing to do anything and triggers a notification event, such as a tone or a devicevibration. Updates made on the device such as sending a new e-mail or changing a calendar entry aresynchronized with the server as soon as a network connection is available.

The Lotus Notes Traveler client provides a simple, easy-to-use interface with a minimal number ofconfiguration settings. You can customize how much data is synchronized with the device to optimize theuse of device memory.

The Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5 server runs as a Domino server task and is installed on a server runningLotus Domino 8.5. For basic configurations, the Lotus Notes Traveler component runs on a Dominoserver immediately following installation with minimal input required from an administrator. All day-to-dayadministrator activities are performed using the Domino Administrator client and the Domino remoteadministration console. The Lotus Notes Traveler server task uses the Domino directory to automaticallylook up and find Notes users, so there is no manual enrollment procedure.

If you are a Notes user, then you are already enabled as a Lotus Notes Traveler user. Mobile handhelddevice users only need to install the client software and point the device to a Lotus Notes Traveler server.Device will automatically register with the server and synchronization begins immediately for the usersdevice.

The primary method for Lotus Notes Traveler clients communicating with the Domino server is through anover-the-air communication channel such as cellular General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or WiFi(802.11x). The Lotus Notes Traveler client works with any secure virtual private network (VPN) installedon the device, but provides integrated support with Lotus Mobile Connect 6.1.1.1 (LMC). By using LotusMobile Connect, you take advantage of the roaming and secure communication features that logicallyextend the enterprise network to the mobile device, regardless of the physical network that the device isusing. The Lotus Notes Traveler client can connect using public GPRS or GSM networks and still

maintain the security and presence of being on a company intranet. Data transmitted between the deviceand server is compressed to reduce the data traffic to a minimum, which is particularly important overslow traffic links.

If a mobile device is lost or stolen, an administrator can issue a remote wipe command to remove all sensitivedata from the device. You have the option to remove the Lotus Notes Traveler application and data or restorethe device to the factory default.

Objective:

At the end of the lab, you should be able to:

Install the Notes Traveler Server

Configure Windows Mobile 6 Emulator

Install Notes Traveler Client

Test Notes Traveler Functionality

Remotely Wipe out Traveler data on device

Step 9 Select Lotus Traveler Application and Data to remove the Lotus Application and data on the

device. Please remember that this will wipe out all the email data on the device.


Hard Reset Device : This option will restore the device back to factory default settings.

Lotus Traveler Application and Data : This option will remove the Lotus Traveler application and all PIM andEmail data that was synchronized with Lotus Traveler.

Storage Card : This option will remove any data that is present on storage cards loaded in the device.

Step 10 At the confirmation dialog, select No if you do not wish to remove the application and data on

the device. Please remember that selecting Yesthis will wipe out all the application and email

data on the device.

Note: Some older Windows Mobile devices running Windows Mobile version 5 without theMicrosoft Messaging and Security Feature Pack upgrade may not hard reset when they receivethe reset command from the Lotus Traveler server. Instead these devices will simply reboot. If thisdoes happen, then the Lotus Traveler client will detect that the hard reset command has failed andwill execute a wipe of the Lotus Traveler Application and Data
