Registering Your Device

Until a device is registered, the NotifyLink application will not synchronize Email and PIM. The registration process identifies you as a valid user on the NotifyLink Enterprise Server and allows you to begin using NotifyLink to synchronize the data between your device and your computer. Registering the device consists of:

• Entering your Email Address and an Authentication Password.

The Authentication Password is an eight-character, case-sensitive password assigned by the administrator from the NotifyLink Enterprise Server. To begin it is usually a default password, however, an IT administrator may direct you to change it for security purposes.

• Choosing a Network Setting appropriate for your device.

Network Setting is the network protocol used by your device. The setting will depend on your device model and the carrier you use.

• Performing an initial PIM synchronization.

Backup Before You Register. The initial sync will remove all existing PIM items on the device and replace them with items from the server. If there is PIM data on the device that is not on the server, you should back it up prior to carrying out this step.

Where to find your Authentication Password. You can check the authentication password for your account from the client web. From the NotifyLink Client Web, choose General > Device.

Changing the Authentication Password. Before you register your device you may wish to set your authentication password to something other than the default. It is not necessary, but some administrators may direct you to change the password as an additional security measure. See the instructions for changing your authentication password below.

To Register:

1. Open the NotifyLink application. The screen will say “Unregistered” in the header until registration is completed.

2. Select Register from the menu.

3. Enter your Email Address and Authentication Password as they appear on the server.

NotifyLink Registration Screen -TCP

NotifyLink Registration Screen -BIS

4. Select the Network Setting appropriate for your device: Choose a WAP, TCP, or BIS network. For information on which setting to use, see Network Settings.

NOTE: If you intend to use Direct Push synchronization, you must use TCP network provisioning.

5. Use the space bar to place a check in the box beside any/all of the items to be synchronized:

Calendar

Contacts

Tasks

6. Select Register from the menu.

7. Allow the HTTP connection on the pop-up screen. This is a very important step, as the registration will fail if you deny the connection. Follow the directions below carefully:

a. Under ”Don’t ask this again for:” use the space bar to place a check beside the box that reads all http connections.

b. Select the Allow this connection option.

If you accidentally deny the first connection the registration will fail. See Authentication Failure for instructions to remedy a denied connection.

8. The screen will say “Registering” in the header until the registration is complete. When it is finished, registration messages arrive on the device and the application will setup your mailbox information and place you in the Inbox.

9. Verify the Date/Time on your device. From the Home screen, select Options > Date/Time.

You are now ready to customize your NotifyLink application. See Customizing NotifyLink for information on defining preferences for Push, Mail, PIM, Cleanup, and Security Settings.
